It is of course a bit awkward listening to new tracks by the most wintry of all Norwegian black metal bands in the summer heat. And yet, we would be the last to complain about it. Surprising as it is, the July release date of this album is pretty much the only awkward thing about it – the new IMMORTAL output rages, rumbles and croaks in the best traditions of ABBATH and DEMONAZ. And if we didn’t know any better, we could have easily taken it for stuff the duo recorded back in the day – let’s say1998.
