The Norwegian court systems determined otherwise, and awarded the IMMORTAL name to Demonaz and Horgh.Īccording to documents uncovered by Norway's VG, a conflict arose between the two remaining IMMORTAL members four years ago, with Demonaz registering IMMORTAL with the Norwegian Patent Office as his exclusive trademark in July 2019. The highly publicized legal battle in 2014 over the rights to the IMMORTAL name pitted Abbath against Demonaz and Horgh, with Abbath claiming the pair abandoned IMMORTAL after they moved their gear out of the band's rehearsal space.

I am proud of the final result, it's got a distinct expression, and I can't wait to let the fans hear it." ![]() " 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. It's got that cold biting guitar sound, yet powerful production. "I am especially pleased with the outcome on this one. "They also did a great job with the new album, and it was a pleasure to go back and work there again," he says. That's what keeps the spirit alive, and the foundation to all our music."Īccording to Demonaz, "War Against All" was recorded at the same studio where he recorded the guitars and vocals for "Northern Chaos Gods". Cold nights in the woods, on the mountains under the winter moon. The early days of black metal inspire me the most. I still write all the guitar riffs/music at home with the same old vibe, and the lyrics as well. He also 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 favorite. It's fast, furious, epic, and mighty Blashyrkh metal - the one and only way!" The album was produced by Arve Isdal, and recorded at Conclave & Earshot Studio in Bergen, Norway by Herbrand Larsen and Arve Isdal.ĭemonaz states: " IMMORTAL continues the style that was established and defined on our very first records. "War Against All" was composed and performed by Demonaz, and it features some session members, like on IMMORTAL's earlier recordings. I will never forget the early years, or disappoint the fans with slowing down the pace." The frosty, raw, and fast battle songs in this style mean everything to me. The lyrics are in the true Blashyrkh battle feel and mood for an opening track too. It's a fast one where the riffs are mostly inspired by my riffs from 'Battles In The North'. ![]() The band's founder Harald "Demonaz" Nævdal states about the song: " 'War Against All' was the first track I wrote for this album.
