On Aug. 30 2009, Mustis and Vortex were fired from Dimmu Borgir by Shagrath and Silenoz. Mustis received a text message, Vortex - an email. Here is Mustis's official statement that he and his girlfriend Jasmin asked me to publish on the Dimmu Borgir forum: "Attention to all the worldwide fans of my work with Dimmu Borgir, I feel that I must begin my note to you all by saying that your dedication and interest in my musical work with Dimmu Borgir has been greatly appreciated by me for many, many years and you all have motivated me to continue to push the creative envelope farther each and every day. You might be able to see where this note is heading and if you are thinking correctly you will know that I am informing you all that I am no longer associated with the band and have left the ranks of Dimmu Borgir effective immediately. My departure was not entirely of my own accord and while I had felt this change was something imminent for my future, my time had been spent addressing the fact that many songs written by me had not been registered properly under my name in their credits. Without naming every single track, let us just say that a good majority of albums like "Puritanical Euphoric Misanthropia" and " In Sorte Diaobli" would have been vastly different had I not composed and created as much as I actually did. Sadly, based on terrible gaps in the communication process and a failure to find logical rationale for why this had been done this way found me hitting wall after wall as opposed to finding a professional and reasonable solution to the problem. My inquiries and investigation into the issues which I wished to resolve and move on from would in the end find me being fired from the group. No discussions about it, just "goodbye" (via text message). I can say to you that this was not a new dispute and is something that has been going on for some years and since these are my individual creative rights and work that are being denied of me, we shall now let the resolution come from the lawyers instead of dealing with more dishonesty and lies on a one on one personal level. On this I cannot say anymore because we will be walking into sticky legal territory. I mentioned earlier that my fans have motivated me to create great music again and again and they should know that I will continue to do this and shall return to them in the not too distant future with material that I hope will keep their Metal needs fed. In advance I will say that I thank you for notes and texts of support and ask that you please understand that there is not much more I can say on this, nor will be able to answer every single message that I get. I ask you to please keep tabs on my official MySpace page (links are below). I will do my best to post what I am legally allowed to share with you so you remain informed http://www.myspace.com/mustiiis ". Man this sucks.Figures they were getting to big for their own good.They really came off with that rockstar attitude.Still,hopefully they manage to find new outlets for creativity and I hope Dimmu kind of goes back to the old ways,though I doubt it.Maybe getting the old keyboardist from Stormblast would be cool.Ah well..... |

Be interested in seeing the official band response to this, it doesn't make them look good at all. Apparently there's one forthcoming... Perhaps Arcturus will get back together now. I doubt it, but perhaps... |

I hope Vortex does something new and innovative as opposed to digging up old bands. |

I'm kinda glad Vortex got kicked out. He has so much potential that was going untapped in Dimmu Borgir. He's got one of the best voices in metal, and he's an awesome bassist as well, so hopefully he'll go somewhere where he can flex his own creative muscles more. |

That really sucks. I still remember singing happy birthday to Vortex with the crowd on the PEM tour. =( Hopefully the band still sticks it out, I've been a Dimmu fan for awhile, and would like to stay one... But I can't say I'm down with them stripping rights away from someone who has contributed. Greedy shit, it sounds like. |

Haha I can picture some old sages browsing over their ancient texts and scrolls to see why the apocolypse is upon this world,only to see that 2009 is,unlike what was fortold,the year of the lawsuit. Just when you thought it was safe....

Dimmu's official response: http://www.roadrunnerrecords.com/blabbe ... mID=126340 Long, but interesting. I tend to lean towards the remaining guys' side, having seen both... |

I think, as is often the case, that the truth lies somewhere in the middle. On another note, Vortex claims he's going to release a new album with Lamented Souls and try to resurrect Arcturus. Sweet! |

Eh, Dimmu Borgir have always been second rate... and their last two sucked balls. Vortex is better off raising Arcturus from the dead! |
