“IMMORTAL-typisch, sowohl stilistisch als auch konzeptionell, sorgfältiges, grittliges Songwriting, teilweise spannend anzuhörende Drums, BATHORY-Momente sind am stärksten.“ Old school in spirit, connected to the whole band’s history. They took this last choice and it was obviously a clever one. Either going on with Demonaz’ vision of black metal - the BATHORY way, or trying to copy Abbath’s gimmicks of “All Shall Fall”, or just going back to the 90’s roots. “With Demonaz taking the legacy of IMMORTAL, three different musical ways were possible. “To arms, sons and daughters of Northern darkness! IMMORTAL are retaking Blashyrkh!”

“AMAZING! The marriage between “Pure Holocaust” and “At the Heart Of Winter”. „IMMORTAL delivers! This is a majestic comeback that will impress old and new fans!” “An incredible eruption of heaviness, driven by thunderstorm drums, razor sharp guitars and crispy blackened vocals! IMMORTAL proves being just a bit more immortal!” A band that has proved their skills each and every time they had to, »Northern Chaos Gods« is no exception.ĭemonaz and Horgh state: “It´s been a real pleasure to get the first reactions from those who have pre-listened to the album” IMMORTAL deliver a record honouring old virtues yet establishing new standards. »Northern Chaos Gods« culminates its blistering journey with ‘Mighty Ravendark’, a bow before one of their grandest efforts. “An ultimate journey through Blashyrkh, the realm of all darkness and cold.”įrom the biting storms of the band’s very first albums to the weight of ✻attles In The North«, the icy furore of ✻lizzard Beasts«, the epic thrust of ✺t The Heart Of Winter« and ✽amned In Black«, the massive sounding »Sons Of Northern Darkness« and ✺ll Shall Fall« erupt as eight testimonies of IMMORTAL’s supremacy. “The vision was to make the ultimate album both for us and for the IMMORTAL fans”, Demonaz continues. Aside from delivering his trademark guitar sound, he also coruscates with a rasping, raw vocal performance direct from the northern abyss. “We want to be timeless” says Demonaz, nodding his iconically war-painted head. IMMORTAL are imperishable just like the permafrost up in the far north, as they successfully proved with the seven-year gap between »Sons of Northern Darkness« and ✺ll Shall Fall«. It’s an album meant to bring the listeners to their knees in epic wintery surroundings, as well as a direct blast into that one and only IMMORTAL battle ready chant.

The sons of northern darkness have unleashed a Nordic winter’s storm, covering each and every soul. “This is how Immortal is meant to sound”, croaks Demonaz, “and this is an album that pays tribute to our musical past as well.” Once again with the help of producer Peter Tägtgren, IMMORTAL has unleashed another classic album! Grim, harsh and frostbitten, gripped by a triumphant possession – it’s an apocalyptic tribute to the complete and glorious past of this living legend. The songs on »Northern Chaos Gods« sound like they were cleaved out of a massive glacier. »Northern Chaos Gods«, consequently, is the very essence of IMMORTAL a distillate of grimness that will once again heave the band onto the ice throne of Norwegian black metal.

With rabid furore, teeth-baring aggression and an eerie cold that crawls deep into the very bones of the listener after only a few unrelenting seconds, IMMORTAL have erected a new superior kingdom of frost on top of their existing legacy. IMMORTAL’s new album is a blizzard agitating the very foundations of black metal. Blashyrkh has arisen – and with it “Northern Chaos Gods”.

Awakened to shroud the world in coldness and darkness once again.
