This first track off the new record, the symphonically charged "Interdimensional Summit," comes with a music video shot by Patric Ullaeus, who had previously worked with the band for the clips of "Progenies of the Great Apocalypse," "Sorgens Kammer - Del II" and the award-winning "The Serpentine Offering."
The song represents the more epic side of a devilish and diverse album, which pays tribute to all eras of the band's 25-years-long history.

Being one of the successful extreme metal forges on the planet, DIMMU BORGIR have been dominating the symphonic black metal genre for 25 years. The songwriting core of DIMMU BORGIR furthermore consists of charismatic vocalist Shagrath (Official), as well as the string wizards Silenoz (Official) and Galder, but other familiar faces also emerge from the darkness: DrummerDaray and keyboarder Gerlioz are still part of the team, and Gaute Storaashelped with the choral arrangements for the majestic voices of the Schola Cantrum Choir. As the title »Eonian« indicates, the band's 10th full-length release is dealing with the illusion of time and marks a tribute to both the band's own past as well as the Norwegian black metal history.
