Black-metal purists might gawk, but that's just because they hate fun. Puritanical Euphoric Misanthropia, the fifth album by Norway’s symphonic black-metal miscreants, Dimmu Borgir, is the Hollywood blockbuster of kvlt records. The ornate strings, the rocketing drums, the Godzilla-sized riffage, and the pure evil spilling off of Shagrath’s tongue culminate into the most epic and over-the-top-explosive black-metal sound imaginable. One glance at its severely NSFW cover art and you know exactly what you’re in for — pure, unvarnished savagery.
