Dimmu Borgir’s Silenoz On Lengthy Wait Between Albums: “We Demo Everything Down To The Smallest Little Detail Before We Go And Record”

During an interview with Phoenix Akuma Six, Dimmu Borgir’s Silenoz explained the long wait for the band’s new album. According to him, the group take their time and “demo everything down to the smallest little detail.”

Silenoz said the following:

“Well, it’s always that time where you can work and work and work on it, but at the same time you have to let it go. It’s the same when you have a kid and it grows up. You have to let it out of its shell somehow, and once that’s done, yeah, then it’s done. But certain albums, we live with the songs for so many years before we actually record them. So we can go back and forth, back and forth, and when we finally then go to the main studio to record all the parts again, then we pretty much have everything set.

‘Cause we demo everything down to the smallest little detail before we go and record actual albums, so we can live with the songs and figure out the small tweaks here and there. Even after months and maybe even years, you can go back, and it’s, like, ‘Yeah, let’s tweak it a little bit there.’”
