Dimmu Borgir have set “Abrahadabra” as the title to their new album which is slated to receive an October 12th North American release date through Nuclear Blast. According to a new press release for the effort, the title roughly translates into “I will create as I speak” and first publicly appeared in Chapter III of Liber AL vel Legis (commonly referred to as The Book of the Law) written by Aleister Crowley in Cairo, Egypt in 1904.
Elaborating on the new album a bit more, band frontman Shagrath offered the following:
“After eleven months of total focus, dedication and professional team work, Darkness has been reborn. Some people have expressed their concern about the future of the band since the departure of some members of the clan. Let me assure you that things happen for a reason. The black flame burns brighter than ever before. With the mixture of our different musical preferences and the personalities involved, I will dare to say we have created a BEAST, the most detailed work to date out of our 17 years of existence. I know it’s too much of a cliché to brag when you have a done a new album, but to put it short and simple, it’s a fist in the face to all the doubters out there. Forward – Onward – March… ENTER THE SUPREME UNKNOWN.”
For now, the cover art for the effort has been unveiled and can be seen over at the bands Myspace.
