DIMMU BORGIR crushed many metal Black Metal standards with their highly successful Death Cult Armageddon, released on September 9th, 2003, which debuted on the Billboard Top 200 at number 169, received multiple "Best Metal Album of the Year" accolades and had two songs featured in the trailer for the

highly successful Hellboy movie. Their video for "Progenies Of The Great Apocalypse" was voted the 4th "BEST METAL OF THE NEW MILLENNIUM" by fans

(nominated by HEADBANGERS BALL and REVOLVER) while also being the first Black Metal band invited to perform on the main stage at OZZfest.

Now DIMMU BORGIR are crushing another standard by officially selling over 100,000 units of Death Cult Armageddon in the United States.

Scanning 101,418 units to date, Nuclear Blast USA is honored to have participated in such a successful and creative album such as Death Cult Armageddon.
