The band's members Demonaz and Horgh have also gone through a legal process the last year, having to protect their band's name and logo from their previous singer.

What a joke. Immortal without Abbath is like Opeth without Akerfeldt or Behemoth without Nergal. Abbath was not just a 'singer'.

I wonder... the creative force of Immortal has been for a long time Abbath. Demonaz was important for the lyrical concept but that's it. Can't see this band without Abbath. But, whatever, we will see.

It will probably be something like his solo album. It doesn't have to be bad but it won't be Immortal. Demonaz should continue with his own project.

I will take a bath.

Are this guys for real ?! I guess we'll wait and see what kind of reanimated undead can this new Immortal be

Shouldn't the title be "Not Dead Just Yet?"

Immortal has for a long time been associated with Abbath, it makes it almost impossible to visualize the band without him. I just hope Demonaz reconsiders, out of respect for the band's legacy. In addition, I remember Abbath making statements that the other band members were not willing to make music nor to tour. What's with this change of situation? Or did the legal battle over the band's name shook the guys a little?

No Abbath = No Immortal

ooops fixed

So who's gonna do the crab dance now?

The crab dance is important, and so is the vocal style of Abbath. I have always loved that vocal style and I'd find it hard if they went in a different direction with that. Then again, if they somehow pulled in say, Dagon of "Inquisition" (only guy I can think of that has a similar vocal style) it would probably cop just as much flak.

I'll listen to whatever comes from the Immortal and Abbath camps. I just hope it encases me in permafrost as previous efforts have done

Please tell me Demonaz won't be assuming vocal duties.

Yea demonaz should just work on his solo stuff i thought his solo album was magnificent

Pretty much. Dagon from Inquisition is the only one who could replace Abbath IMO.

I was thinking about Serj Tankian from System Of A Down?
No ok sorry I will not do it again...

Waiting for new album without Abbath.

My opinion won't matter much as I'm a newcomer to Immortal and only know "All Shall Fall". Like it but won't call it a master piece either so I guess I can live without Immortal What annoys me tho is seeing bands infected by such silly copyright affairs. I thought this kind of shit mostly happened in the brainless commercial music world...

Anyway, now I'm waiting for the news reading that "Dimmu Borgir isn't quite dead yet, working on new material" (hey wait wasn't it already published several months ago ?? )

no offense but it make me feel a little better LOL

Interesting news well lyrically it can be much better as Abbot , simce main lyricist and maybe bets lyricist in Norge B; scene ever is there. like I said BM is just guitar sound, Helloween will put korpse paint and sing satan steal my lollypop, it wont be BM , it will be PM . This is why I like this band, its all about Norway all about winter, lyrics and atmosphere are awesome , just outstanding band in whole genre, but who will sing? anyway this band has more potemntial ...Abbot and new crew looks lame, he pick up wrong music , we will see how it goes

Oh, man, you are so missing out. All Shall Fall is definitely not a good album to go on for them. Don't get me wrong, it's a good album, but any long time fan will agree it's more like a Sons of Northern Darkness 2.0 or B-sides album. You've got to start from the very beginning and experience their full discography. The early days were just that, the early days, but still were quite majestic. The band really started hitting their stride with Battles In The North, and At The Heart Of Winter is where they really created their own style.

Seriously, do yourself a favor and dig deeper into their discography than just All Shall Fall. If you are a fan of black metal, and liked what you heard on that album, then you'll want to delve into their back catalog.

Thanks for the advice, will sure have a look at their older albums !

It's like Emperor without Ihsahn. Although I must admit that I'm eager to see who will handle the vocals.

Drama of the year.

I'll be damned. I guess I'll have to follow Immortal and Abbath now though I'm doubtful for both.

I'm hopeful for Abbath. Not so much with Abbath-less Immortal. I'm with everyone else, Immortal just isn't Immortal without Abbath.

I don't know, the whole thing is weird. Again, it's very sad to see this happen to one of my favourite bands but I'm still curious about the possible albums they make. Abbath, however, was a big reason why I love Immortal.

Obviously not happy how this is turning out but I am curious to see how the music evolves. Immortal going back to Blizzard Beast era would be nice, and Abbath maybe making his band similar to the "I" project would also be refreshing.

I wonder where is Apollyon in all this?

No biggie, anyone can 'sing' like abbath
