Enthrone Darkness Triumphant is the third studio album by Norwegian black metal band Dimmu Borgir. It was recorded in January 1997 at Abyss Studios in Sweden. The album was a huge success for the band and was their first release on Nuclear Blast Records, as well as their first full-length to contain lyrics in English. A deluxe edition was released in 2002 with bonus material.
It was also the group's first album to display the newer logo (the old "Black Metal"-styled logo is still seen on the back cover artwork of the original pressing).
Nuclear Blast Records, out of fear, decided not to print the lyrics for the song "Tormentor of Christian Souls".
