April 22nd, 2015

Norwegian metal group Abbath signed an album contract with Season Of Mist Records in addition to unveiling its inaugural line-up, revealing this development on April 22nd, 2015.

Abbath’s line-up is as follows;

Abbath (guitars, ex-Immortal)
King Ov Hell (bass, Ov Hell)
Shagrath (vocals, Dimmu Borgir)
Gaahl (vocals, God Seed)
Baard Kolstad (drums, God Seed / Borknagar)

In addition, Season Of Mist CEO Michael Berberian issued the following statement: “My first black metal concert ever was Immortal, Rotting Christ and Blasphemy in Paris in 1993. Black metal was then, and still is, defining my musical taste. This concert was life-changing and one of the events that eventually sparked the birth of Season Of Mist. Fast-forward 22 years from that concert at this moment in time. Rotting Christ have been with us for years, and now Abbath joins us too!

“I’m presenting this signing with a pure adrenaline high and childlike amazement. On top of this, Abbath is one-of-a-kind, a genuine character. I have known Tom, aka. King, for years, and Baard is a phenomenon – one of a kind in any generation of drummers. I have no doubt that this line-up will surpass anything that Abbath did in the past. This band has just the right chemistry, the ambition and the vision to excel.”

On March 26th, 2015, Abbath (Olve Eikemo) announced the retirement of Bergen, Norway-based black metal group Immortal and the subsequent formation of a namesake ensemble.
