Both DIMMU BORGIR and their label Nuclear Blast Records have shared a cryptic teaser on social media, fueling intense speculation about what appears to be imminent new music from the Norwegian symphonic black metal titans. The brief clip, posted across multiple platforms, offers tantalizing hints without revealing specific details — but all signs point to the March 26 premiere of the band's new single and music video "Ulvgjeld & Blodsodel."
The teaser arrives as anticipation for DIMMU BORGIR's tenth studio album reaches fever pitch. The record — their first since 2018's "Eonian" — was recorded, mixed, and mastered at Studio Fredman in Sweden with producer Fredrik Nordström, and has been confirmed as complete since September 2025. An album title and release date have yet to be officially announced, but the March 26 premiere suggests the full campaign is now underway.
DIMMU BORGIR's current lineup features new guitarist Kjell Åge "Damage" Karlsen alongside vocalist Shagrath, guitarist Silenoz, and the rest of the established roster. The band is already confirmed for the massive "In League With Satan" European co-headline tour with BEHEMOTH in October 2026, with DARK FUNERAL as special guests.
Fans can expect the full video to premiere on the Nuclear Blast Records YouTube channel on March 26. After eight years between studio albums, the return of one of symphonic black metal's most commercially successful and musically ambitious acts is poised to be a landmark moment for the genre in 2026.
