Okay, there were no virgin sacrifices at the Dimmu Borgir record release party tonight, but we did see actual Scandinavian black metal dudes. It was a total Metalocalypse moment without the dead bodies and such. We even had our picture taken with one of the members.
Carlos heard that we were going to see the members of Dimmu Borgir in Clark Kent mode, which I guess was true, but Clark Kent for Scandinavian black metal dudes involves long hair, piercings and cowboy hats.
Meanwhile, I whispered to Carlos that maybe I shouldn't have worn pink. He said that my rose cord jacket with the faux fur collar was totally metal. I'm inclined to agree, but it's more Kyuss metal than Mayhem metal and I think this crowd leaned towards the latter.
Now, if you're going to throw a major party, we suggest the Plush Lounge at the Key Club. They had a total spread, including a massive Wonkavision fountain done up in a chocolate/caramel mixture and huge strawberries. Plus it was open bar.
Oh, and the new Dimmu Borgir record is pretty hot with goth-via-former-Eastern-Block-musician orchestration and beats that play like the worst whoopin' you ever got.
