WTF?!?!??!
Everyone in that band were huge parts of their sound. I have noooo clue how they will fill those gaps.
From Blabbermouth.net :
"We regret to inform you that we have parted ways with both Vortex [bass, clean vocals] and Mustis [keyboards]. However, we do want to make it perfectly clear that the creative force in the band is highly intact, perhaps even more so than ever. With that being said, we're currently working on our next album and are excited to start a new chapter in the legacy that is DIMMU BORGIR."
Mustis (real name: Øyvind Mustaparta) issued a statement yesterday (Sunday, August 30) claiming that his dismissal from DIMMU BORGIR was caused by his efforts to "address the fact that many songs written by me had not been registered properly under my name in their credits. Without naming every single track, let us just say that a good majority of albums like 'Puritanical Euphoric Misanthropia' and 'In Sorte Diaobli' would have been vastly different had I not composed and created as much as I actually did," he said. "Sadly, based on terrible gaps in the communication process and a failure to find logical rationale for why this had been done this way found me hitting wall after wall as opposed to finding a professional and reasonable solution to the problem. My inquiries and investigation into the issues which I wished to resolve and move on from would in the end find me being fired from the group. No discussions about it, just 'goodbye' (via text message)."
Dimmu Borgir Fires two members!!!!

Sounds like a royalty issue. It's one of the reasons why when bands start creating music, they need to consider up front who gets credit for writing the song; whether the entire group, or individual members for lyrics, music, etc. It helps avoid disputes like this down the road, which could even result in litigation.
from my understanding, it has always been Silenoz's band- he is sort of the dictator of how the band writes (music and lyrics) and sounds. i still have faith in Dimmu... maybe they'll be more guitar driven, which would be cool in my book...
hard to see anyone topping the new Behemoth anytime soon regardless...

+1 for sure.Jim Price wrote:Sounds like a royalty issue.

Generally, pro songwriters agree on credit when the song is finshed, and either settle on given percentages (rare) or everyone-gets-an-equal-piece (much more common). I've seen situations where a writer's input was written out of a song, but once it's used in the song, you get a share in said song. Exceptions: Titles, and inspiration. If you say or do something cool, and your friend turns it into a song, you don't necessarily get a credit. You'd be surprised at the number of people who think you do.--->JMS

Thanks, Rob. I believe they are just as happy as can be with Don Airey, though (plus, I'd be afraid that you'd steal my PA while I was gone...)RobTheDrummer wrote:You should go try out for them on keys!Hayf wrote:Tegamal wrote:I saw this earlier, kinda shocking.
