Dimmu Borgir announces new bassist

Dimmu Borgir has announced that Swedish bass player Victor Brandt (Entombed A.D., Firespawn) has officially joined their line-up. The symphonic black metal act will play their first show since 2014 in June and Brandt is "ready to storm the stage" with vocalist Shagrath, guitarists Silenoz and Galder, keyboarder Gerlioz and drummer Daray. Brandt comments: "It's a great honor and pleasure to be a part of the mighty Dimmu Borgir. And such great timing for me to start at the release of their new album 'Eonian', which in my opinion is their best album so far. The members of the band are equally awesome to their music so I am looking forward to good times ahead." The band adds: "We are very excited to have Victor become a part of the team! His experience, dedication and craftsmanship is very much appreciated and we look forward to sharing the world stages with him!"
