Dimmu Borgir is a famous Norwegian melodic black metal band who got into the charts in several Scandinavian countries and Germany. 'Dimmu Borgir' means 'Black Castle' or 'Dark Fortress' in Icelandic. There is also an actual location in Iceland which is called 'Dimmu Borgir', where you can find remnants of volcanic activity that look a bit like a castle, with columns spewing plumes of sulfuric smoke.
