Norwegian extreme metal titans Dimmu Borgir are officially back today with the release of their long awaited new studio album Grand Serpent Rising , marking their first full length record in eight years since Eonian .
And true to form, they did not come back quietly. They came back with a storm.
A long wait, a heavier impact

Formed in 1993 by guitarist Sven “Silenoz” Kopperud and vocalist Stian “Shagrath” Thoresen during Norway’s second wave black metal rise, Dimmu Borgir have always played the long game. No rush, no shortcuts, just carefully built sonic architecture designed to hit like a collapsing cathedral.
Grand Serpent Rising is the result of that patience. Thirteen tracks deep, it pushes their symphonic black metal foundation into something even more cinematic, more dynamic, and more violently expressive than before.
Gothenburg sessions with a familiar hand

The album was recorded in Gothenburg with renowned producer Fredrik Nordström , a key figure behind some of the band’s most iconic earlier work including Puritanical Euphoric Misanthropia and Death Cult Armageddon .
That connection matters. The sound here is massive but intentional, layered but never chaotic for the sake of it. Orchestration is used like a weapon instead of a blanket, giving the record both weight and clarity.
New video unleashes the vision

Alongside the album release, the band has dropped a cinematic new video for As Seen In The Unseen , doubling down on the album’s bleak atmosphere and theatrical scale.

Band statements

Shagrath calls the album a full spectrum reflection of everything Dimmu Borgir has been and evolved into. He highlights its balance of brutality, melody, and diversity, noting how it pulls from their early years while still pushing forward into new territory.
Silenoz frames it as a journey through ruin, rebirth, and transcendence, emphasizing a return to the atmosphere that defined their identity while still evolving the sound. According to him, the fire is still burning stronger than ever.
The verdict

Eight years is a long silence in modern metal. Most bands struggle to justify it.
Dimmu Borgir just used it to sharpen the blade.
Grand Serpent Rising is not nostalgia. It is not a comeback attempt. It is a statement of intent from a band that still knows exactly how to build something massive, cinematic, and unapologetically extreme.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Rob Hussey And Cyanide Ignite Las Vegas With New Hard Rock Anthem “Get Up And Dance”

Las Vegas, NV, May 15th 2026
Las Vegas has a new rock anthem shaking the neon skyline. Cyanide , fronted by powerhouse musician, producer, and extreme video creator Rob Hussey , have officially dropped their latest single and music video, “Get Up And Dance,” and it is already making serious noise across the rock scene.
Released at 9 PM Pacific, the official video hit YouTube like a late-night detonation and immediately set off a wave of attention from fans, playlists, and the Las Vegas rock community. Within hours, the track was already gaining traction on streaming platforms, proving once again that when Cyanide moves, the scene feels it.
A Full-Throttle Arena Rock Statement

“Get Up And Dance” is pure, no brakes, arena rock energy. Big guitars, bigger hooks, and a rhythm built to shake the floorboards. This is not background music. This is grab-you-by-the-collar, turn-it-up-to-11 rock and roll.
Rob Hussey’s fingerprints are all over the track. Sharp songwriting, tight production, and a performance style that hits like jet fuel in a closed room. The result is a song that feels built for packed rooms, flashing lights, and fists in the air.
The Video Turns Up The Heat

The official music video raises the stakes even higher. Featuring special guest appearance Keith Robert War , the visual is a full sensory blast of flashing lights, crowd energy, and high voltage performance shots.
It pulls from the golden era of hard rock visuals but filters it through a modern, gritty Las Vegas edge. Loud, chaotic, and unapologetic, it is exactly the kind of video that reminds you rock is not dead. It just relocated to places like Sin City.
Vegas Energy, Global Reach

Cyanide are not just representing Las Vegas. They are exporting it. The band’s latest release feels like a statement piece, a reminder that real rock still thrives where it always has, in sweat, volume, and attitude.
This is music made for the stage, not the sidelines. It is built for movement, for crowds, and for anyone who forgot what a real rock anthem feels like.

Final Word

“Get Up And Dance” is not just a single. It is a declaration. A celebration. A full-volume reminder that Las Vegas still knows how to build real rock and roll.
Cyanide is not asking for attention. They are kicking the door in and taking it.
Rock never left. It just got louder in Vegas.
