Immortal’s behind-the-scenes mainman Demonaz has now stated the band is not dead despite Abbath’s claim.

Iconic frontman Abbath announced a couple months ago that Immortal were being laid to rest after legal struggles with the name, and planned to continue as a solo band named after himself. Songwriter Demonaz however has stated that the remaining members of Immortal are planning a new album, read the statement below:

“Immortal never stopped; we just had to go through a long legal process before we could go out in the media with the news,”

“Immortal is much more than just a band, and much more than just a form of music. The departure of one member cannot change that, no matter. We will continue what we believe in, and the power of ‘Blashyrkh’ shall live on.”
It’s fairly hard to imagine an Abbath-less Immortal being such an icon of the band for the better part of the 25 years of the bands existence. We shall see what comes of it!
