So, apparently the AFL had to pay a fee to Warner Bros because the new AFL team will be called the Tasmanian Devils, just because WB thinks they own global copyright to the name of an animal

Black metal's favourite source of memes iconic figure Olve Eikemo, better known as Abbath Doom Occulta, is back with the second album of his project Abbath, in an effort to make this European summer's heat wave a little more bearable.
Shades of Sons of Northern Darkness, but it doesn't ever reach anywhere close to that level. You can tell Abbath has learned a lot from Demonaz when it comes to songwriting, and that he also has a long way to go. The style and sound is straight out of 2005, which may be why it sounds so uninspired. The guitar solos aren't really anything to write home about and the rest of the musicians are just kind of there. At least the bass gets some love in the mix. Until his songs feature more dynamic writing, this new project won't be anything more than Immortal-lite.

I like this record just as much as the first if not a bit more. Of course Abbath will always be compared to Immortal but this is likely the very music that would have the Immortal name attached to it minus lyrics.
