Immortal - Abbath Responds, Working On New Album With Other Musicians

The drama continues on Immortal's camp. There have been new updates on their Legal Battles In The North over the band's name/logo. The group's frontman Abbath (Olve Eikemo) has attempted to claim rights to the Immortal name via his sole proprietorship Eikemo Compositions. Guitarist Demonaz (Harald Nævdal) and drummer Horgh (Reidar Horghagen) want the Immortal trademark to be shared by all three members.
