Anyone else looking forward to this, Bio of Jon Nodtveidt of Dissection.
15 years of research but looks like it will finally be released this year.
:: Announcement ::
Book is done. Only a prologue is left to be written, and final corrections, selection of pictures, and a suitable publisher to define. Also might add last minute collaborations. Expect a release for this year, at least thats my aim.
15 years of research, 7-8 months of proper writing.
Thanks for the support to all that stood by this project and Jon's career, life, death & legacy.
More info will be announced in due time.
Note: This picture is a random one of archival material, proper credits will be in the book. BTW, title of the book will be announced before publication, and no, it's not "Book of Chaos" (working title).

New album out in May and they have released a new track which isnt bad.
Lets hope the album sounds better than the meh album title.

New album on the way.

I see they've announced a gig but without Aaron,Mikko Kotamäki from Swallow the Sun will be doing vocals.
Anyone know what's going on with them as they cancelled lots of gigs as they needed a break but are now back?

The Weather systems album isnt bad, sounds like newer Anathema (if your into that).

IMMORTAL have completed work on our upcoming new studio album!
Our new record, War Against All, will be released via Nuclear Blast. This is the band's 10th studio album, and it will feature 8 new songs in classic IMMORTAL style.
The band ́s founder Demonaz states:
"Immortal continues the style that was established and defined on our very first records. It ́s fast, furious, epic, and mighty Blashyrkh metal - the one and only way!"
Demonaz offers some more background on the process of making War Against All:
"Even though the studio work is necessary to get an ultimate recording, the writing process is obviously my favourite. I still write all the guitar riffs/music at home with the same old vibe, and the lyrics as well. The early days of black metal inspire me the most. Cold nights in the woods, on the mountains under the winter moon. That´s what keeps the spirit alive, and the foundation to all our music"
The album was produced in Bergen, Norway, at Earshot & Conclave Studios.
"It´s actually the same studio where I recorded the guitars and vocals for Northern Chaos Gods. They also did a great job with the new album, and it was a pleasure to go back and work there again. I am especially pleased with the outcome on this one.
It´s got that cold biting guitar sound, yet powerful production.
Immortal have never compromised on the original vision, which is taking fans on a journey through Blashyrkh with our most grim and dark music, with every new release. These songs are no exception to this. I am proud of the final result, it ́s got a distinct expression, and I can ́t wait to let the fans hear it!"
The album's cover artwork was done by the Swedish artist Mattias Frisk.
Tracklisting:
1. War Against All
2. Thunders Of Darkness
3. Wargod
4. No sun
5. Return To Cold

Sounds good.

They have parted with the Axe on drums.
Will be a big loss as his drumming was excellent.
Interesting to see how good Karppinen fits in as they are bigging him up.

They have released heart of the ages and Omnio on T-shirts at long last.
They could have done a better job on heart of the ages but the white version is decent .
Omnio one looks pretty good too.
