Additional notes
DHG was originally formed in 1994 under the moniker Dødheimsgard which is a conjunction of three words: Død which means death, Heim which means home and Gard which means (at least in this context) mansion. A natural translation of Dødheimsgard into English would be "Mansion/house of Death", alternatively "Realm of the Dead/Death."

Vicotnik and Aldrahn performed guest vocals on the first Dimmu Borgir album, "For All Tid", with Aldrahn doing lyrics and lead vocals on one track. Aldrahn also wrote lyrics for the title track of the second Dimmu Borgir album, "Stormblast".
