OSMOSE PRODUCTIONS is proud to present a reissue of IMMORTAL's classic third album, Battles in the North, on CD Digipack, gatefold vinyl LP, and cassette tape formats. It will also now feature alternate cover art used on the original promo version.
The IMMORTAL name is indeed immortal; in fact, it is legendary. And for good reason: the Norwegian band's run of six albums for OSMOSE set unprecedented standards in black metal – and beyond. Whether it was blistering speed, epic atmosphere, and most especially just downright amazing songwriting, IMMORTAL's work during the 1990s has rightfully reached successive generations of metal fans, and arguably stands as the “gateway” to black metal for folks generally not acclimated to such.

Originally released in 1995, Battles in the North is considered by many to be the most legendary IMMORTAL album. From its utterly iconic cover to its unremitting assault on the sense, Battles in the North very much matched form with content. However, the duo of Abbath and Demonaz here proved that actual songwriting could exist within a template of blistering speed and buzzing production; one need only look to the climactic closer “Blashyrkh (Mighty Ravendark),” perhaps IMMORTAL's most classic track ever. Now released with alternate (and equally fitting) cover artwork used on the original promo edition, Battles in the North continues its war!

Limited edition to 500 copies, 7 panel full color.

Originally released in the year 2000, IMMORTAL kicked off the new millennium in grand style with Damned in Black. Due to their increasingly hectic touring schedule, the band welcomed bassist Iscariah into the fold fulltime, and Damned in Black marked his first recording with IMMORTAL. Likewise, the album followed the transitional classic At the Heart of Winter, where the band sought a more slowed-down and definitely more epic sound. But “slowed-down” is all relative in the world of IMMORTAL, and Damned in Black brought back much of the band's trademark speed whilst not losing any epicness – and the closing title track is THE definition of EPIC. Reinvestigate this overlooked gem of the IMMORTAL catalog and forever be Damned in Black!

IMMORTAL’s new album is a blizzard agitating the very foundations of black metal. With rabid furore, teeth-baring aggression and an eerie cold that crawls deep into the very bones of the listener after only a few unrelenting seconds, Immortal have erected a new superior kingdom of frost on top of their existing legacy. »Northern Chaos Gods«, consequently, is the very essence of IMMORTAL; a distillate of grimness that will once again heave the band onto the ice throne of Norwegian black metal.
