Seriously though, there is absolutley no indication of Shagrath ever even wanting to leave the band anywhere


It still inspired a discussion though...

He would not leave anytime soon.
It would be absolutely retarded if he left anytime soon.
Its dumb to even speculate that he will leave anytime soon.
End of story.

You say it's about the contrast between him and Shagrath, but Vortex's grim vocals are far superior to Shagrath's anyway. Not to mention he doesn't need studio magic to do it.

Why would you even bother comparing their vocals? Its like the old "apples and oranges" thing. They're completely different. Just because you seem to prefer Simen's, doesn't mean they're superior. Don't get me wrong, I love Vortex's voice too, but if you've heard him live, its not always quite as good as the albums. And sure, on more recent albums, Shagrath's vocals have been frigged around with alot(which I don't like). But with past albums being proof, along with live performances, he does just fine without the layering and studio magic.
I guess what it comes down to, is that Dimmu Borgir just wouldn't be Dimmu Borgir without Shagraths vocals. Noone would recognize them as the same band if the vocal position was changed so dramatically.

Agree, same as if Cradle of Filth loose Dani Filth's vocals. but thats another story. And already anyway, as much as i know of Dimmu, which is Stormblast, Puritanical and Death Cult (judge by yourself), the coming of Galder changed already everything, although it benefited greatly - in a new way, different - Dimmu. But im speaking of only my opinion and what i know.

Which is why you shouldn't have even bothered posting that.

hint: don't believe anything unless there is an official statement by the band itself.
means: this is bullshit.

One hell of a lineup there. I'd give the old proverbial left nut to see Behemoth and Dimmu live.
