An update from the Dimmu Borgir camp: The band released their latest single titled Gateways for streaming on August 27th 2010. It can be heard on YouTube and their Myspace page here. It features heavy orchestration and a female voice that is rumoured to actually be that of ICS Vortex but with an extreme pitch increase. Vortex, as is common knowledge now is no longer part of the band and was kicked out along with keyboard player Mustis. This song will obviously be featured on their upcoming album ‘Abrahadabra’, scheduled for release in September/October.
