Dimmu Borgir new album & appearance at Soundwave 2011

As a final nail in the coffin of the decision to head over the ditch to check out Soundwave 2011 *hey boss! can I have pay advance?*
The big day out has been the only big festival I've ever been to, so I'll take the advice of mates and check out all the bands, and schedules and figure out the best plan of attack for the day (if I actually manage to scrounge up the cash for it)

Norwegian symphonic black metallers Dimmu Borgir have confirmed it's appearance at Soundwave Festival 2011. Dimmu Borgir also join the newly added acts Saxon, Coheed and Cambria, Bring Me the Horizon and the Murderdolls. The appearance will be in support of Dimmu Borgir's forthcoming studio album "Abrahadabra" which is set for release on October 12th, 2010 through Nuclear Blast Records.

Get sync'd with Dimmu Borgir

Nuclear Blast records and Dimmu Borgir  have launched the bands first iphone app. Apparently it'll allow you to do all sorts of shit- View photos, watch videos, get access to sound samples from the band's new album, "Abrahadabra"; share tweets; chat with other die-hards and more. This app syncs up with your FacebookTwitter accounts, so connect directly with Dimmu Borgir to get the latest news, music and information. Seems rather invasive to me, but then again I don't have an iphone or any of the other revenue gathering devices that this app can be used on..

"Abrahadabra" track listing:

01. Xibir (2:50)
02. Born Treacherous (5:02)
03. Gateways (5:10)
04. Chess With The Abyss (4:08)
05. Dimmu Borgir (5:35)
06. Ritualist (5:13)
07. The Demiurge Molecule (5:29)
08. A Jewel Traced Through Coal (5:16)
09. Renewal (4:11)
10. Endings And Continuations (5:58)
Looking at the photo of the app below, I'm left speechless, are the 'Borgir taking metal back to the 70's or what!?

New Dimmu Borgir material
