Spiritual Black Dimensions is the fourth studio album by Norwegian black metal band Dimmu Borgir. It was released in 1999 by Nuclear Blast Records. A deluxe edition was released in 2004 with bonus material.
This was Dimmu Borgir's first foray into speed-laden black metal, and since much of their old material was slower and more doomy in approach, reviews of this album are mixed, giving it a serious love-hate relationship. This was also the first album to feature new keyboardist Mustis and the clean vocals of ICS Vortex (who would later join the band full-time).
Much of the darker, faster direction could be attributed to guitarist Astennu, as the album Mirrored Hate Painting from his project Carpe Tenebrum show-cased the faster black metal style Dimmu Borgir would display on this album.
