During a recent interview with FaceCulture, Dimmu Borgir guitarist Silenoz offered an update on the band’s new album. According to him, the group have between six and eight songs demoed for the effort.
Silenoz said the following when asked about the lengthy wait between albums:
“Well, it could have been fairly easy to do ‘Enthrone Darkness Triumphant Part Two’, and we could have done albums like that every third year or second year, but, to be honest, what would be the point in that, to have an album almost identical to what some fans classify as a classic. So that would be the easy way out and the path of least resistance. And that would also, in my eyes, be a selling-out point because you would do something that’s less challenging and cash in on that. But that’s not how we have worked ever; we never compromised and we always take the time we feel is needed to finish an album. If it takes eight years as it did now — it shouldn’t have done that, obviously — but it is what it is. An album is finished when it’s finished.”
He also added the following about release plans for the band’s next album:
“We have sort of a timeline. I think that’s good, but it shouldn’t be set in stone, but I think it’s good to have a timeframe to work towards, at least when you start getting six, seven, eight songs, as we’re up in now, and demoed with vocals and all that stuff. And we picked up the process now, so it’s looking good, yeah. It’s sounding good, I should say.”
