DIMMU BORGIR have confirmed the following release dates for their new album, "In Sorte Diaboli" (via Nuclear Blast Records ):

Germany: May 4
Rest of Europe: May 7
North America: May 8

This will be DIMMU 's first "concept album," a story set in always-epic Medieval Europe that also serves as a treatise on the modern-day political and social abuses of organized religion. "There's this dude that works as a priest's assistant, and after a while he just discovers that he has nothing to do with Christianity," said Silenoz of the storyline, which he conceived in full before even a note of music was composed. "He just sort of has this awakening and realizes that he has different abilities and different powers and is leaning more to the dark side."

DIMMU BORGIR 's current recording lineup is as follows:

Shagrath - Vocals
Silenoz - Guitars
Galder - Guitars
Vortex - Bass
Mustis - Keys
Hellhammer - Drums

Eric Peterson, Testament's guitarist recently gave an interview to BW&BK about their long-awaited coming album:

“I've already written the record twice, but I never got to finish it ‘cause of touring or drummers, just problems with the band that have arisen. I've worked really hard trying to get the stuff together. What I'm doing is taking the best of both of those sessions that I worked on as well as some new stuff. Alex (Skolnick - guitar) is pitching in some stuff that sounds really Testament-ish. He's got his head on right; it's killer. He's able to separate the jazz from the metal. In the beginning he was trying to put the jazz in there a little bit, but now he's playing better than he's ever played. He's more confident and having fun with it. There's some really good highlighted tracks so far that are wow! It's got a lot of old school elements, like ‘Alone In The Dark' but a little heavier. It sounds like The New Order meets Ride The Lightning. I'm really excited. I don't like to put blinders on when I write music, but I definitely wanted to sound a certain way. We're putting our hat on for a certain era with the technology of today.”
