Diabolical Fullmoon Mysticism


This is Immortals debut, it's not a top of the line album but it gave you the direction of what was to come. I think just a few of the songs have good material ("The Call of the Wintermoon" and "A Perfect Vision of the Rising Northland" which is great). Abbath and Demonaz wasn't the musicians they are today either. Over all this is an OK'ish release, but since Immortal is one of the all time greats this is a must album.

Pure Holocaust


This album is a different story. It's wild, raw and completely uncomprimized. I would like to gratulate Abbath and Demonaz who succeeded to make this supreme album. If you don't have this one - get it right away! I don't have any bad critic to say about it.

Battles in the North


So finally it came... Immortals long awaited follower to Pure Holocaust. Unfortunately I might have had to high expectations on this one. It's not as good as the last one. What I think is worst with this release is the bad sound, it seems like the Doom Occulta bros. has hanged around Darkthrone and Bathory too much the past year. That is to bad because in past years you always knew they had good sound. I hope this trend doesn't hang around until their next one. One cool thing though... Abbath and Demonaz has decided to do a video on one of the tracks, which one I don't know but I hope it's out now.

Live at Zaandam

A live album with Immortal! This I must have, but WAIT! I don't know if this is a bootleg or a genuin Immortal release. Anyway I have only heard it briefly but it was enough. I DO NOT like this. The sound is so shitty you need tipi for it. It's nothing to throw money on in my opinion. Sure almost all their best tracks are featured, but since you can't hear the differance it's meaningless.

I, and I guess many fans, have waited a long time for this album. It's fast, fast, fast... A brutal intro explodes into a brutal and blizztering fast song in the typical Immortal manner. It all sounds much like "Battles in the North", but the riffs are more complexed and technical. This was ment to be played loud and kick ass! The speed and brutality is without competition, but is it good? The lyrics are in the typical Immortal style also, soo it's really nothing new. It's to complexed sometimes and they try so hard to be even faster and even more brutal then before, but is it a success? Only you can decide that for your self. In my opinion is this the weakest studio album from the Immortal horde. And when you consider the total playing time of only 28:56, one might even think if it was worth the money. OK it's not that bad, but I had expected more eventhough several songs are truly great. Personally a little thing like better production easily would have raised it to a higher grade.
