Dimholt was formed by Woundheir (vocals) and Asen (guitars) in 2003 in Burgas, Bulgaria. Together they start working on songs which later appear on the “Aegri Somnia” demo CD, released in 2007.
The band remains a duo until 2005 but then plans change as they start looking for full-time members in order to continue. Soon after that Rumen (guitars) joins the band and Dimholt finishes two new songs. A few months later the band finds a full time bass player, Yavor. In the fall of 2006 Dimholt starts actual rehearsing with the drums being overtaken by Stanimir who later becomes the band’s drummer.
In 2007 the band finishes the recording of the “Aegri Somnia” demo. The CD is released in a limited number of copies – all of them sold out by now. Three years later, in 2010, the EP “Live Somnia” is released. The CD contains 2 old songs and live versions of 2 new songs.
Dimholt announces its first gig in 2009 as they are invited to join Serpentine Creation and Drevna.
In the following years the band plays alongside Vrani Volosa, Diabless (ex-Frozen Shit), Azzrakgar, The Revenge Project, Claymore, Eufobia, Dark Inversion, Prokyon, Act Of Grotesque, Alcophilia, Unhumanity, Necromancer, Envolter, Shambless, Belgarath, Bloodlines, Enthrallment, Impenitence, Mass Grave, Coprostasis, O.H., Savage Ravage and Feudistes. In 2010 Dimholt has the honor to be the opening act for the Spanish avantgard act Kathaarsys and in 2011 they play alongside Erevos from Greece. The same year also marks a visit to Serbia with 3 gigs there including local acts Bane, Tales Of Dark, Dream Epic, Toxic Trace and Defilement.
The band enters “SubZero Studio” in Sofia in the winter of 2012 to start recording their debut album entitled “Liberation Funeral”. The work on the album takes more than a year and for the additional sound shaping and sound engineering the band falls back on the services of Thomas “TT” Tannenberger – guitar player, drummer and mastermind of Austrian black metal legends Abigor.
During the summer of 2013 the band is selected as an opening act for British veterans Cradle Of Filth for a gig in Sofia. In 2014 Dimholt makes a mini-tour in Romania and in April the same year part the band is chosen as an opening act for Rotting Christ’s gig in Sofia.

Dimholt plays also twice in Bucharest – in October 2016 (as part of Rites Of The Black Mass festival) and February 2017 – alongside Batushka and a local act.
In 2017 and 2018 Dimholt takes time to finish the second album meanwhile entitled “Epistēmē” and live activity is marked by a few memorable gigs alongside Schammasch, Bölzer and Bane (Serbia) in Sofia.

𝐃𝐢𝐦𝐡𝐨𝐥𝐭 𝐀𝐧𝐧𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐍𝐞𝐰 𝐀𝐥𝐛𝐮𝐦 "𝐌𝐞𝐭𝐚𝐅𝐨𝐫𝐦"Bulgarian black metal band 𝐃𝐢𝐦𝐡𝐨𝐥𝐭 are set to release their long-awaited third full-length album, "𝐌𝐞𝐭𝐚𝐅𝐨𝐫𝐦", in the final quarter of 2025. Alongside the announcement, the band have revealed the album’s striking cover art.
Recorded during two sessions in 2024, the drums were tracked in Sofia ("Pepinio Records" / Yordan Borisov & Petar Bratanov, while the remaining instruments and vocals took shape at "𝐎𝐩𝐮𝐬 𝐌𝐚𝐠𝐧𝐮𝐦 𝐒𝐭𝐮𝐝𝐢𝐨" (Opus Magnum Studios ) in Brussels under the direction of 𝐃é𝐡à (Олмослав Липанов ), who also handled mixing and mastering.
Frontman 𝐖𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐝𝐡𝐞𝐢𝐫 comments:
“It’s been quite some time since "𝐄𝐩𝐢𝐬𝐭ē𝐦ē". Its release unfortunately coincided with turbulent times, which inevitably affected its promotion. With "𝐌𝐞𝐭𝐚𝐅𝐨𝐫𝐦", we wanted to carefully refine our sound and capture the truest expression of the band as it stands today. Working with 𝐃é𝐡à again felt natural—beyond our friendship, there’s a deep creative chemistry that pushed us forward.”
"𝐌𝐞𝐭𝐚𝐅𝐨𝐫𝐦" features eight tracks that explore themes of metaphysics, cosmic vastness, and existential darkness:
𝟎𝟏. 𝐌𝐞𝐭𝐚𝐅𝐨𝐫𝐦
𝟎𝟐. 𝐑𝐚𝐝𝐢𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐎𝐟 𝐃𝐲𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐋𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭
𝟎𝟑. 𝐓𝐨𝐭𝐞𝐦
𝟎𝟒. 𝐑𝐞𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐈𝐧 𝐓𝐢𝐦𝐞𝐥𝐞𝐬𝐬 𝐂𝐨𝐦𝐚𝐭𝐨𝐬𝐞
𝟎𝟓. 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐇𝐨𝐫𝐫𝐨𝐫𝐬 𝐎𝐟 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐌𝐚𝐝𝐝𝐞𝐧𝐞𝐝 𝐄𝐲𝐞𝐬
𝟎𝟔. 𝐓𝐨 𝐄𝐦𝐛𝐫𝐚𝐜𝐞 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐏𝐫𝐨𝐟𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐝 𝐒𝐭𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐬
𝟎𝟕. 𝐓𝐨𝐦𝐛 𝐎𝐟 𝐌𝐨𝐥𝐭𝐞𝐧 𝐒𝐭𝐚𝐫𝐬
𝟎𝟖. 𝐓𝐚𝐩𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐲 𝐎𝐟 𝐒𝐡𝐚𝐩𝐞𝐥𝐞𝐬𝐬 𝐄𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐧𝐢𝐭𝐲
The album’s visual concept was brought to life by Bulgarian artist 𝐒𝐢𝐥𝐯𝐢 𝐈𝐥𝐢𝐞𝐯𝐚 / 𝐒𝐢𝐧𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐒𝐜𝐞𝐧𝐞𝐬 (Sinister Scenes ), known for her evocative concert photography. Speaking about the collaboration, the band state:
“𝐒𝐢𝐥𝐯𝐢 has captured some of our most memorable live moments over the years. We trusted her with "𝐌𝐞𝐭𝐚𝐅𝐨𝐫𝐦" artwork after just one conversation—and the result exceeded all expectations. She truly managed to capture the atmosphere of the record.”
First track off the album will be presented in the coming weeks. More details and news on band's activities to be announced in due time.
