I think you need a bath, Darius. It really stinks in here. A little personal hygiene goes a long way my duder.

How to write an album based on three riffs (i might change opinion in winter)

Immortal return with a blistering black metal album, adorned with old school heavy/speed metal elements, which make for some faint standouts here and there. As for the question if Northern Chaos Gods is better than the namesake Abbath album, the tally is as follows: Immortal vs Abbath = tie ;-D. Favorite tracks: Call to Ice, Northern Chaos Gods.

Battles in the North with modern production values and less memorable riffs, released in summer.

another solid but unspectacular album from these old timers. maybe if the silly legal dispute didnt occur abbath would have made it stellar. they cant possibly conquer blashyrkh without him

An excellent record, but a little bit too "safe". Nice to hear Peter Tagtgren on bass.

Ferocious no gimmicks needed black metal from beginning to end. No Abbath, no problem for Immortal as the black metal veterans return with an absolute gem 9 years after their previous release. This album just rips and shreds the eardrums from beginning to end with nonstop energy throughout the runtime. Sure this is not re-inventing the wheel or the most innovative album of the year but riff-wise it is up there with the best of 2018 because every single riff on Norther Chaos Gods will make you wanna get up and go to war. The production is great allowing the album to be played at insanely high volume with just enough murkiness that it feels like you are at a live Immortal show if you blast this one. To be honest, Demonaz does a better job on the mic than Abbath did on his recent self-titled. What a time to be alive, Immortal taking names at almost 30 years old.

seems like Demonaz knows how to imitate Abbath about as well as Abbath knows how to imitate Immortal, since outside of the vox this sounds exactly like an Abbath-Immortal album. They do the fast stuff, they do the mid-paced mini-epic stuff. Nothing's really different this time. I suppose the seasons change, empires rise and fall, but Immortal are, well, immortal.

It was good for the first couple tracks, but then it got incredibly boring.

Slightly disappointed: half of the tracks are really great, and the others are just average. Not better than Abbath.

My AOTY so far. Everything good about Immortal is present on this record.

Despite its lack of diversity, and the Maiden rip-off on Where Mountains Rise chorus, Northern Chaos Gods has the merit of keeping the immortal flame alive. The title track and Mighty Ravendark are the album highlights.
