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. It has been put out on many formats including a limited edition vinyl (300 white & 1000 black). In 2002 a Deluxe CD version was released with bonus material.
It was also the group's first album to display the newer logo, though the old "black metal" logo is seen in the back cover artwork on the original printing.
Due to concerns from Nuclear Blast, the lyrics of "Tormentor of Christian Souls" were omitted from the disc's liner notes.
