Enthrone Darkness Triumphant is the third studio album by Norwegian symphonic black metal band Dimmu Borgir, released on 30 May 1997 through Nuclear Blast.
Due to concerns from Nuclear Blast,[citation needed] the lyrics of "Tormentor of Christian Souls" were omitted from the disc's liner notes.
"Master of Disharmony" and "Raabjorn speiler Draugheimens skodde" are re-recorded versions of older, already released tracks (from Devil's Path and For all tid respectively).
AllMusic praised the album, writing, "One of the most important Scandinavian metal discs ever, Dimmu Borgir's Enthrone Darkness Triumphant is the group's unquestioned masterpiece.
Death Metal Underground labels it "a ripoff of bands that were new when these musicians were born,"[8] noting that it lacks a sense of theme and that it is essentially "a pop album with heavy metal riffs," which wants the "neoclassical orchestration that made [the previous album] Stormblåst brilliant.
