Pretty good track. I am optimistic about the album, though I hope the rest of the new material will be more atmospheric.

Old Immortal with decent vocals? Is this a dream coming true? Just kidding, I love Abbath. This looks promising. It sounds a lot like Battles In The North.

Their old stuff is better.

Great track! Did not expect something this good. Cold and grim and fast and I wouldn't mind at all Battles In The North part II.

To be honest this just sounds like standard 2nd wave black metal. Nothing special or standout about it at all. Sorry guys this just isnt that great.

Some of us are really happy for that standard, you know. Immortal just needs to be Immortal to be special for me...

Immortal ARE 2nd wave black metal. Them sounding like this is like the most harmonious thing in the whole universe. If you don't get it, you're too young to get it :p

I was worried for this. Demonaz' solo album wasn't all that great. But all my doubts have ceased. This was pretty good.

Yeah dude im 39 and have been a fan of theirs for about 20 years. No the point is this could easily be ANY band from the mid 90s. It doesent suck. But it most certainly does NOT stand out as purely immortal.

Somewhat agreed, although it is pretty good 2nd wave black metal if you ask me. I definitely prefer it to Abbath's solo career, but it is indeed not amazing or special.

Sounds like it could be from Pure Holocaust (or a Darkened Norcturn Slaughtercult album). Vocals are a lot better than I was expecting, based on March Of The Norse.

I was officially wrong. This was pretty damn good. I thought for sure they couldn't write much with the primary songwriter gone. I also thought they would go 100% slow and atmospheric.

Meh. It's seems like a step back for me. The last three Immortal CDs were incredible, and I hoped they would continue in the same vein. Even Abbath's solo band was a disappointment, in my opinion. True, it's only one song, but it seems like they are going back to the ol' blast beat type of style that kinda bored me. Immortal became and was a powerhouse, just before Abbath left, and now it seems they are taking two steps back, instead of continuing in the same direction. Just my two cents. Of course, the rest of the new album could be killer, but I think it will mirror this debut song.

That direction was strictly tied to Abbath, because his guitar playing style was its foundation. With him gone, his style is gone too.

The summer is already too hot, but the upcoming album will probably turn it much colder. And then I will enjoy.

He didn't mean the quality of the music. He meant that such a big band releasing an album that is at least decent is basically guaranteed to secure the top spot. You'll see anyway
