Биография группыImmortal was formed as a death metal band in early 1989 in Bergen, Norway, then under the name of Amputation. The first two demos were recorded under the name Amputation but in 1990 or 1991 they changed their name into Immortal.
The third demo "Unholy Forces Of Evil" led to a record deal and was also released as a 7" by the French Listenable Records. With each new album the band's popularity has grown and they have become one of the leading bands on the world's black/death metal scene. Right before the start of the tour in 1997 Demonaz injured his hand and is not able to play live anymore but he is still writing new material for the band. In the year 2000 they switched record company from the French Osmose to German Nuclear Blast.
Interesting fact: Abbath was the one responsible for getting Varg Vikernes (Burzum) into the metal scene...
Another interesting fact: Euronymous of Mayhem (Nor) is credited for getting Immortal into the whole black metal scene. In the beginning, Immortal started out as a death metal group under the name Amputation, but with Euronymous introducing them to black metal music, they quickly changed their sound and became what they were in present times.
The annual Hole In The Sky festival, held in Bergen, Norway, is held in honour of Erik Brшdreskift's memory.
Abbath has a Motцrhead cover band called Bцmbers. |
