Six weeks prior to the European release date of the upcoming Dimmu Borgir album "In Sorte Diaboli" on April 27, the album appeared on a website featuring free downloads for everybody.

Since press worldwide was supplied with individual download accounts for the music on the Nuclear Blast website instead of regular promotional CDs, the source was found very fast - Luca Pessina, writer for the Metalitalia webzine and news editor for the Italian issue of Metal Hammer. His personal watermark could be found on the files.

On behalf of Nuclear Blast, legal steps are already in progress, and he could face charges and indemnity claims.
