The group began in 1989 as "Amputation", a death metal band. Immortal's early full-length releases were of a traditional black metal style, but their acclaimed album "At the Heart of Winter" saw the band begin to experiment with a complex fusion of black metal and melodic progressive. The resultant sound was a style that characterized Immortal's later works and became influential to many modern metal artists. Their final album, Sons of Northern Darkness, was the most refined of their catologue, experimenting with heavy, thrashy, technical black metal. Its founders, Abbath and Demonaz, have attained a legendary status in the Scandinavian heavy metal scene. Out of these many bands Immortal has arguably maintained the most occult-mysticism image and way of life traditionally credited to black metal.
