Alex Rudinger - DIMMU BORGIR - "The Serpentine Offering"

OK, so, to be totally honest... this wasn't really my first choice of Dimmu songs to cover. I always figured that if I ever did a Dimmu cover, it'd probably be something off of 'Puritanical Euphoric Misanthropia' (😂😂😂). & being that I didn't have access to any stems from that album (or any Dimmu album, for that matter), I didn't think I'd ever do a Dimmu AT ALL to begin with (LOL). But as I've mentioned in a few other video descriptions, a homie from my Patreon / Discord Chat has access to a whole BUNCH of random stems. He sent me a list of everything, & "The Serpentine Offering" happened to be on it (literally the only Dimmu song on the list)! Needless to say, I asked for them! 😂👌🏼🤘🏼 So while this probably wouldn't have been my FIRST choice of Dimmu song's to cover, it was my ONLY choice. Lol! Besides, 'In Sorte Diaboli' still RULES (the album this song is from), & I was just as into it as 'Puritanical' back in the day. So here it is - another 'Reliving-My-Early-2000's-Extreme-Metal-Favorites' drum cover ! 🤣🤙🏼 & just in case someone from #DimmuBorgir ever sees this (which I kinda doubt, but hey you never know. Lol!)... hey Dimmu peeps/members... if you ever need a fill-in drummer, pls let me know. B/c I could die happy if I ever got the opportunity to put on corpse paint, sit behind a huge double bass kit, & play Black Metal. Even if only for ONE tour. L O LLLL!!! (I mean c'mon how fun would that be, ya'll? 😂) For the record: If it weren't for this hella-sick homie from my Patreon/Discord, a whole handful of covers that I've done in the last year wouldn't have been possible. So big shoutout to him! Much love, dude! Mix was done by Declan White! I seriously love what Declan is able to do with the drums that I track here at home. It continues to impress me. Drums are all natural except for the kick (which is a blend of mic & trigger). I think this might be the best my Lars snare has ever sounded, actually. LOL.
