Dimmu Borgir have premiered a new video for their new song “Ascent.” You can check that out below. The track is from the band’s new album, “Grand Serpent Rising,” which will be released on May 22.

Shagrath commented:

“Musically, ‘Ascent‘ is more ferocious and direct than the first single, ‘Ulvgjeld & Blodsødel.’ Together, the two tracks showcase the musical scope of the album in a great way. From the outset, we’ve said that ‘Grand Serpent Rising‘ stands as one of our most diverse records to date, and these songs underline exactly that.”

Silenoz added:

“‘Ascent‘ is about the grand serpent rising through your spinal cord. It is not a pretty experience but it is a necessary one – in order to reach higher consciousness and levels of understanding. It’s a voyage of transformation and surrender.”

The band also shared a Friedrich Nietzsche quote:

“Only he who knows fear but overcomes it can be fearless; he who sees the abyss with pride. He who sees the abyss with eagle eyes; he who grasps the abyss with eagle claws; he is courageous.”
