Nuclear Blast Europe are reporting that the DIMMU BORGIR video premiere for 'The Serpentine Offering' on April 3rd on MySpace was and is an unbelievably huge success so far.

20,000 visitors were checking out the clip during the first two hours, and now it's already over 70,000 and the number is growing bigger by the minute.

If you haven't seen 'The Serpentine Offering' (directed by Patric Ullaeus who also shot 'Progenies Of The Great Apocalypse') yet, just follow this link.

Dimmu Borgir guitarist Silenoz recently responded to the March 30th report that the band's upcoming album, In Sorte Diaboli - which is scheduled for an April 24th release in North America - has been banned by retailers.

"I think it's great," he exclaims. "Awesome! Thanks for the extra promotion. But, I have to be honest, it would've sucked real bad if those tits were real though, people would've missed out on a great set! See you on tour."

The North American version of Dimmu Borgir's 'The Serpentine Offering' single will be available for digital download at iTunes.com beginning April 3rd (not March 30th as previously stated) and will include the following three songs: 'The Serpentine Offering', 'The Serpentine Offering' (Video Edit), and an instrumental version of 'The Heretic Hammer' as an exclusive track.

In Sorte Diaboli will be available in North America in two different formats: a jewel-case CD and a limited edition digipak (plus bonus track, bonus DVD with the Patric Ullaeus-directed video for 'The Serpentine Offering', 'The Making Of In Sorte Diaboli' in-studio/behind the scenes footage).

The complete track listing is as follows: 'The Serpentine Offering', 'The Chosen Legacy', 'The Conspiracy Unfolds', 'The Sacrilegious Scorn', 'The Fallen Arises', 'Heretic Hammer', 'The Sinister Awakening', 'The Fundamental Alienation', 'The Invaluable Darkness', 'The Foreshadowing Furnace'.
