Reunited Immortal Issues Update

Reunited Norwegian black metallers IMMORTAL have issued the following update:
"A new dawn rises with the return of IMMORTAL and we strongly appreciate all the great support from every one of you...
"From above the gates we stride at hand as 'The Seven Dates of Blashyrkh' draw nearer and the force is strong upon this coming storm.
"Under the banner of Blashyrkh we ride mightier than all years before at one with you: the IMMORTAL horde....the wind will lead us!"
After 13 successful years as one of the pioneers of black metal, IMMORTAL disbanded in 2003 with a legacy of seven full-length albums, including the 2002 milestone, "Sons of Northern Darkness". Following a long hiatus, the band decided to enter the live battlefield again.
Come 2007, the world will experience a ferocious new IMMORTAL lineup, featuring Abbath, Horgh, and new bass player Apollyon from AURA NOIR.
"I needed a break," Abbath explained. "I think we all did! We were simply burnt out, and there was no point in continuing. We had a Norwegian tour booked, and had performed at some great festivals both in the U.S. and Europe, but it just didn't feel right any longer."
In the meantime, drummer Horgh toured with Sweden's death metal masters HYPOCRISY and released the "Virus" album, while Abbath has been working on his sideproject, I, featuring members of ENSLAVED and SAHG, along with IMMORTAL's original drummer, Armagedda.
"I'm really proud of that album," Abbath stated enthusiastically, "and it was an important album to make in order to be able to focus on IMMORTAL again."

Just because Immortal are the undisputed kings of Black Metal does not give them the right to say things like "From above the gates we stride at hand as 'The Seven Dates of Blashyrkh' draw nearer and the force is strong upon this coming storm." I mean, c'mon, who the hell really talks like that?

If you had the time to listen to Immortals' music you'd notice that most of their CD's are concept albums regarding the land of Blashyrkh and it's lord Mighty Ravendark. That's why they run their mouths like that. It's all good, going to see them at the Avalon.

Yeah, I bet it's going to be a real "chill binding" IMMORTAL's Reunion 2007 Concert Events (Worldwide) for all to relish in. Abbath's has got himself "2" very strong & extraodinary Metal bands: Norwegian's Black Metal pioneers IMMORTAL and his newest endeavors with his band "I" (I-Between Two Worlds is a thunderous throw down treasure...-bad a$$ album/Cd!) that has an awesome musician-lineup as well. May the legendary IMMORTAL (Abbath, Horgh & new comer Apollyon...-I wish Demonaz could be present, too but you never know properly might make a guest appearance!) Reunion 2007 Tour be as "thunderous" as they are unique and continue "success" to Abbath & Co (his a spectacular Human being Mr. Abbath is & what a great sense of humour yet I would not want to be on his bad list?! That's a big no-nonsense man! Peace.
