Band: Dimmu Borgir Album: Puritanical Euphoric Misanthropia Song: Kings of the Carnival Creation OK, so, let me clear something up about Dimmu Borgir. Vortex uses a 5 string bass, and uses it for certain chords that the guitarists may do. For example, say if the guitars going [-----] [-----] [-----] [4-444] [2-222] [2-222] Then the bass would be going [-----] [-----] [-----] [-----] [0-000] He often uses standard tuning, but I can hear that he goes lower than B, so he must be drop D. Feel free to PM me with any questions or comments.
