IMMORTAL - War Against All LP (Black Vinyl)

Immortal has always been one of my top favorite black metal bands. Regardless of lineup, the band has consistently been able to put forth music that takes me on a musical journey [to the land of Blashyrkh]. It goes without saying, when it was announced, I could hardly contain my excitement for the release of this album. It is with great pleasure that I am now able to write a short review of it here.

My first impressions of this album were immediately good. Everything is as it should be in the land of Blashyrkh and that is a great thing. The music feels cold and forlorn just as a good Immortal album should and the production and songwriting are all on point. This IS an Immortal album. We can all breathe another sigh of relief as Demonaz has proven, once again, that he lives, breathes, and sleeps Immortal and this is his baby. This is now ever more clearer. Band drama aside (Which I will not go into here), Immortal is staying Immortal, thankfully.
