Bergen, Norway-based black metal group Immortal – consisting of lyricist / guitarist Demonaz (real name: Harald Nævdal) and drummer Horgh (real name: Reidar Horghagen) – issued ninth full-length studio album Northern Chaos Gods on July 6th 2018 through Nuclear Blast Records.
Demonaz and Horgh commented: “We are eternally dedicated to Immortal and our own musical past. The album is conceptual, and the first step in the reclaiming of our past grimness and attitude. Loyalty to the fans and our own musical history is very significant in this. Our new album will soon be available, with songs from the very gates of Blashyrkh — the realm of all darkness and cold.”
Immortal also made reference to the studio process: “We have put a massive amount of energy into this, and wanted to deliver our absolutely best. It has been a pleasure to finish the studio process and most of all being stoked about the final result. Peter Tägtgren has done an outstanding job in producing and mixing it. We now look forward to have it released, and are excited to share our ninth full-length with you all.”
The outing was recorded with producer Peter Tägtgren at Abyss Studio in Pärlby, Sweden, who additionally sessioned on bass.
