Editorial Reviews

Product Description
One of the harshest, most cataclysmic black metal albums ever recorded - EXTREMELY fast, vicious, and aggressive, tearing at you repeatedly like a rabid pack of ice wolves. Also one of this band's most epic hours, combining Demonaz's incredibly bizarre sense of melody with enough apocalyptic fervor to end the world a dozen times. Absolutely mandatory for those who would consider themselves knowledgeable about the Norwegian black metal scene of the past...if you like their most recent material, listen to this to learn why they have such a good reputation! Beautiful Norwegian art...

4.0 out of 5 stars Thunder drumming !, December 28, 2006

By	G.J. Head (Pittsburgh, PA) - See all my reviews

Originally this was not one of my favorite immortal releases, but it's really grown on me. I can understand people complaining about the production, however in my opinion, it's perfect for the genre, and specifically this release.

The drumming is pretty crazy on this one, and the songs are strong. This has turned out to be one of my favorite Immortal releases, and one of the last releases by them with low-end production.

5.0 out of 5 stars Extreme Black Metal, May 11, 2006

By	A. S. Rios "el crazy mex" (Houston, TX, USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I have supported these guys since they called themselves OLD FUNERAL(with Varg from BURZUM), and I have to say they have yet to disappoint. With the release BATTLES IN THE NORTH, Immortal proved to live up to their name. This contribution to black metal is fierce, raw, and brutal. Immortal slows down for no one and this CD proves it. If the first song, "Battles in the North," doesn't grab you and throw you to the floor, then you are either hearing impaired or in an eternal slumber. It slashes and cuts and pounds your ear drums and just when you think it is safe the next song starts and you are being brutalized again. Not for the weak or for those who like predictable rhythyms. For fans of DARKTHRONE, RAGNAROK, DARK FUNERAL, and SATYRICON...

5.0 out of 5 stars Drumming is amazing., April 1, 2007

By	P. Walczak "Ornus" - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Amazing drumming. This is a wicked good CD with possibly the best and most intense drumming I've ever heard. I definitely recommend this CD to Immortal fans.
