Mustis has a particular style that is kind of his signature; it is pretty easy to tell just by listening what songs he contributed to. He definitely didn't get due credit. But most of their best songs from the time Mustis was there were written or co-written by him. Progenies, Insight and the Catharsis, The Promised Future Aeons, Kings of the Carnival Creation, etc. I would follow/purchase anything Mustis produced, he is one of my favorite metal musicians.

This is the music that introduced me to black metal in 2012. I remember the first time I've listened. I was buying some game (I believe it was Skyrim) and the salesman was dressing a shirt of In Sorte Diaboli album. I got pretty scared at first, but when I got home the first thing I've done was to search for this "Dimmu Borgir" band, and this was the first video that appeared in youtube's list. When I've heard Shagrath's voice and saw all the strange face paint and spikes, I thought "what the fuck is this sick shit" (I was sixteen and got pretty creeped out). One month later, I was listening norwegian black metal every day.

I love how when vortex starts singing he covered by a bright light that makes you question where this heavenly voice is coming from, then he fades in dramatically. Damn these are good mushrooms!

And Mustis too, he is as good of a composer as any of the famous classical composers! He was definitely a great loss to the band.

i have this exact microphone that Vortex used in this show, bought in Ebay in 2011

ICS Vortex was amazing in this band. Still the only guy vocalist I ever enjoyed doing clean vocals in extreme metal. Can't stand most of the rest. His delivery borders on opera, which fit Dimmu's symphonic black sound perfectly.

The very first time I heard a DB song, it was this one, and when Vortex’s voice came through, I fell in love!!! Been listening since because of his vocals. He is godly in this!

I wonder if they'll ever be as good as this again. It's been 15 years or thereabouts since they made anything of note.
