90s Norwegian black metal juggernaut Immortal announces its 10th studio album, "War Against All," with only Demonaz as the only long-serving member.
It is unclear why the drummer Horgh was out of the picture, and the press release only provided a minuscule amount of info about the lineup with just some features of session members.
Immortal posted. "Our new record, War Against All, will be released via Nuclear Blast Records. This is the band’s 10th studio album, and it will feature 8 new songs in classic IMMORTAL style."
"Immortal continues the style that was established and defined on our very first records." Demonaz said. "It's fast, furious, epic, and mighty Blashyrkh metal - the one and only way!”
“Even though the studio work is necessary to get an ultimate recording, the writing process is obviously my favourite." He explained. "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."
He added. "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."
The album’s cover artwork was done by the Swedish artist Mattias Frisk.
