Now that I've had time to listen to the new Immortal album.

[Det Som Engang Var]

I wanted to say, the second song "Rise of Darkness". The verse riff is the grimist, coldest, kvlt, chilling and awesome riff ever played in black metal.

After that the song gets kinda boring, but that riff is the epitome of modern black and not so modern black metal.

Yeah its a solid album overall, I think the opener/title is the best song. Epic riffs. Black metal purists of course diss new Immortal, but I totally dig the new one, and I love Sons of Northern Darkness. Pure black metal it may not be, but fuck some of those riffs rule (See: One By One).

 

[Det Som Engang Var]

I don't care for the rest of the album, though. Except three songs.

Yeah, Sons was great. My favorite Immortal album. So much power in that album.

I like it. Pretty thrashy and rocking. The downside is that all the songs sound the same, but it's still cool. Rise of Darkness and Arctic Swarm are my favs
