Immortal Announce New Album, War Against All, for 2023 Release

0

Norwegian black metal legends Immortal have announced that they have completed work on their tenth studio album. According to a post from their Facebook page, the album is called War Against All and is coming sometime in 2023 via Nuclear Blast.

Immortal founder Demonaz had plenty to say about the new record, stating that the music would be similar to the band’s early work.

“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!”

In case you were worried Demonaz was going soft, he isn’t:

“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”

Recorded and produced in Immortal’s hometown of Bergen, War Against All was tracked at Earshot & Conclave Studios, the same location that Demonaz recorded guitar and vocals for the band’s last album, Northern Chaos Gods. Says the frontman:

“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!”

According to the band’s website, Ice Dale (Enslaved/Audrey Horne) was tapped for the bass parts, while Kevin Kvåle (Gaahls Wyrd) handled the drums. There’s no indication whether they just played for the recording or if they’re full-time members of the band.

We’ll keep you posted when Immortal drop music from the album.
