'''''For Allall Tidtid''''' ([[Norwegian language|Norwegian]]: "''For All Time''" in english) is the firstdebut [[studio album by Norwegian [[symphonic black metal]] byband [[Dimmu Borgir]]. It was recordedreleased andin mixed1995 atthrough Stovner[[No RockefabrikkColours Records|No Colours]]. It was remastered and re-released in 1997 through their new label [[AugustNuclear Blast]] with the front cover art in full color and the entire ''[[DecemberInn i evighetens mørke]]'' [[1994extended play|EP]], releasedadded. inIt 1994is andthe re-issuedband's inonly studio album on which [[1997Shagrath]] withis theiron new labeldrums, [[NuclearTjodalv]] Blaston Recordsguitar and [[Silenoz]] on vocals.

The artwork displayed on the front cover of the album is inspired by [[Gustave Doré]]'s [[:File:Idylls of the King 3.jpg|illustration of Camelot]] from ''[[Idylls of the King]]''.

This is easily Dimmu Borgir's most "grim" sounding album, due to its harsh recording, trebly guitars, and vocals entrenched in reverb. However, blast-beating drums are used more sparingly than many of their peers at the time, and instead, the drums flow evenly with the riffs. Keyboard usage is more minimal here than on their later works, and only really accents the guitars. The music is also in a darker, more somber and depressing tone than traditional evil sounding chords.

In their favourable review of the album, [[AllMusic]] wrote, "The production is awful, boasting thin and sharp guitars, muted drumming and echoing vocals that sound like what it might have been like to stand outside of their rehearsal hall. But somehow the songs manage to overcome the production, offering a somewhat beautiful (albeit warped) view of [[heavy metal music|heavy metal]] that comes off far more ambitious than a band in their position usually does."<ref name="AllMusic"/>
