  YCLUSA Online - Immortal Technique Review
Immortal is able to bring an album that is 100% political, without boring the listener.
Immortal Technique pointed out in an interview that many shows are being shut down at the last minute due to fears from promoters of a conservative backlash.
Immortal said "they can kill as many prophets, they kill as many revolutionaries as they can, but they can never kill the spirit or the idea." Let's make sure they don't.

His codefendant turned state's evidence on him and yet Immortal Technique turned down offers to snitch while he was in the hole, it was nights like those where his future hung in the balance that he scripted the insanity that would bring him vast recognition later.
Immortal Technique: I was tired of hearing these bitch niggaz talk about "I wanna take it back to the streets" and then their idea of that is another boring hustle fantasy that probably didn't even happen.
Immortal Technique: It's cool to see that so many people have seen me win so many battles but I would hate for someone to judge me by that standard regardless of the fact that my record is about 71-4.

I could go on raving about this album, as it is my favorite of 2002 (of course, it is only February), but it would just be wasting time, and I don't feel like coming up with a whole bunch of different ways to say it's almost perfectly written and executed.
Immortal return with another frost-bitten effort for their first album ever to be released with proper distribution in the United States, and the result is pretty good.
Immortal is back and, yes, the photos accompanying this album are just as funny as you would expect.

 Immortal - Satan Stole My Teddybear
Immortal are the best among the Norwegian metal bands (I'm not getting into whether this is "true fl metal" or not: screw that), one of the few in the entire movement who actually have a lot of talent.
Immortal contain in their ranks geniuses of composers and this is very marked here: this is majestic, anthemic, driven to speed and brutality by the nature of the album but restrained and melodic enough to make it an epic with a grand sadness at its core.
As with the past two albums, Immortal doesn't necessarily reinvent the wheel, but they have a good sound figured out and have the songwriting ability to create songs that stick to your bones and are worth hearing over and over.

 Beth Hart - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Recorded while she was heavily addicted to drugs, Immortal (Atlantic, 1996) displays her anger, her confusion, her imbalance.
Hart fell under the spell of blues singer Etta James for her second album, Screamin' for My Supper (Atlantic, 1999), that also reflects her soul-searching after a number of tragedies and her recovery from drugs.
Her most recent album, Leave the Light On, is all about battling demons (drugs and alcohol in Beth's case) and coming to terms with oneself and being honest about it.

 Metal Millennium Album Reviews | Immortal | At the Heart of Winter
I had no clue what Immortal had up their sleeve this time, but i was going to find out at all costs.
Immortal has slowed things down a lot, and instead of using their trademark of blazing guitars (Abbath can still shred mind you) with superfast drumming, they have gone on more of a thrash route and have incorporated
The production on the album is terrific (which is a tremendous improvement from their previous albums) so you can actually hear how Abbath is picking and he still belts out the vocals like no other.

The most rewarding part about this album, however, is that I apparently received a promo copy of the album that boasts slashed tracks (to stop severe mp3 ripping) when most of the songs already streach on past the norm.
Immortal is truely a band at the forefront of the race for the "Imperial throne," and they're willingly stepping forward to seize immortal power.
Immortal was one HELL of a fl metal band, they were the "Sons of Northern Darkness".

 DPRP CD Reviews - 2000 - Arena : Immortal? Roundtable Review   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
Nonetheless, this is one of the stronger songs on the album, and a strong opener, and probably a good posing opportunity for the band when it's played live.
It is an album in a style that Arena has made its trademark: take everything good in prog music and mix and blend it into an album.
Rhythmically the majority of the album is predictable and basic, and although there is often rich layering of sound, it seems to be mostly based around simple minor chords with nothing new to offer.

 AllHipHop.com : Features
Immortal’s hardcore righteous with emphasis on the streets and brolic beats is a welcome departure from the incense and oils that dominate the so-called progressive wing of rap music.
Immortal’s journey began when he was nine years old, spitting his early rhymes to break beats on the radio and as time progressed his abilities grew from there.
Immortal slips from topic to topic in his convo as easily as he does on his songs, changing lanes on the discussion highway mid-sentence.

 Immortal - Black Metal
The structural innovations of this album place it in a new sub-genre of thought but its riff composition clearly differentiates it from all visible elements, including older styles of fl metal and the darker, more rhythmically undulating and ambient death metal bands.
The former, as the simpler of the two, is the broadest implementation with the difference between all guns blazing and the open mid-paced phrases familiar from their first album, as a basic range, covered in several layers.
An introduction of wind noises blown through some sort of insane PA distortion, with soft rising music in the background and chanting, sounds like a keyboard version of a soundtrack to a 50s war film and as such is the perfect introduction to the dissident music of the generation after the children of the 1950s.

 L'Edition Metallique
Since their first EP in 1991, all Immortal album covers were fl, but for Battles In The North, they differ from their catalogue as it is entirely white.
I didn't expect a new Immortal album as good as this one, as I thought the band had decided to go on towards total brutality forever.
This 35-40 minutes album is thus worthy of those who've never listened to or cared about Immortal, all the while remaining great for fans.

It's the quality album that fans have come to expect, and with pre-sales of 50,000 and expectations to sell 100,000, it could be one of fl metal's hottest selling albums ever.
Our new album is very old- fashioned but at the same time it takes the old roots, the old metal and brings it into a new picture for the next generation.
Since Immortal has such a strong back catalogue, it was only natural to want to hear his thoughts on their prior releases.

 ARENA Immortal ? reviews and MP3   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
Immortal begins very heavy, with the bombastic Chosen, which set the tone for a dark melodic album, with some very good keyboards and guitar play.
Another aspect of "Immortal?" that is superb is the lyrics, the creativity for coming up with new and interesting themes and writing tham in such a way as to make you actually think, something that not many can get the credit for doing.
On most of the album’s space the band as if tries to remind us that all we need to be more serious and ready to dangers to avoid a human catastrophe.

 A Tribute To Nordic Black Metal : Immortal
Immortal is a Norwegian fl/holocaustmetal band formed by Abbath and Demonaz (the "demon brothers") before the experience with Kristian Vikerness in Satanael and Old Funeral: so they took Jorn at guitar and Armagedda to the drums.
In 1992 the first album, "Diobolical Fullmoon Mysticism" came out.Its a good album, not as fast as the two newer albums.1993 the second album "Pure Holocaust" came out, its very fast flmetal but they call it holocaustmetal.

 Immortal : Sons of Northern Darkness - Review at Harvest Moon Music
Immortal's latest offering has earned itself a spot on my top ten favorite fl metal albums list, and has held its position for quite some time now.
This album is very tight, well produced, heavy, dark, and surprisingly energetic.
I know that may be a relatively uncommon adjective in the world of fl metal, but some moments on this album just make you want to jump up and play air guitar (but the fear of your mom walking in on you quickly suppresses that urge and reduces it to a light foot tapping).

And that's exactly what you will find on this album: brand-new studio versions of classic Amiga game soundtracks, achieved by the composers of the original pieces.
My favorite is the Battle Squadron track that has kept a lot of the original springy strangeness to it (as opposed to many other tracks that just translates the original samples to very typical synth instruments).
For Immortal 3 (if it comes to it) it would be great to hear remake of music from Bitmap Brother Games (Gods, Speedball 1and2, Chaos Engine), Heimdall, Beast 2, Hybris, Nitro...

Immortal today are a punishingly powerful three-piece who've mixed a fl metal mainline -- their central musical blood-vein -- with more established rock songwriting styles.
The corpsepaint is part of Immortal the way the make-up was part of KISS or the biking leathers were part of 'Priest: a defining part of them.
Immortal didn't pose -- they didn't walk onstage with the ridiculous weapons they brandish on the cover of _SoND_, for example -- but they did accept and exploit, in the -right- way, their position of power.

This album is way better than Slayer, Possessed, Mayhem, and Emperor in their days of glory (which are now lost forever for those bands).

 ARENA Breakfast In Biarritz reviews and MP3   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
The first two albums are only represented by Crying For Help VII and Midas vision, which are not the best songs from those albums (Songs From The Lions Cage and Pride).
While their first live album "Welcome To The Stage" (1997) was focused on their first two studio albums, their newly released live album "Breakfast In Biarritz" is focused on their newest albums "The Visitor" (1998) and "Immortal?" (2000).
Rob Sowden became the new vocalist in ARENA on their most recent studio album "Immortal?" Although I preferred Paul Wrightson's vocals I have to admit that Rob is doing a great job here.

 Reviews for Blizzard Beasts   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
Almost everyone beats this album into the ground, saying it's very crappy and not well done, etc. I think it's furious as fucking hell and it drips with that cold atmosphere Immortal is so well known for.
This is the last album with the godly Demonaz, and I mourn the loss of his more agressive riffs (Abbath's are great, but they sound too Heavy Metal sometimes and he tends to get palm-mute-happy, if you know what I mean) after hearing the chaos of this recording.
I think this is by far the worst Immortal album ever: average songs ("Mountains Of Might" is the only good song on the record), average sound quality and, above all, average playing; Demonaz plays quite bad already due to his arm injury and also Horgh plays his drums far less precise than on later releases.

It is an album that will bring Technique back to the streets on which he started hustling and will have a wider variety of subject matter for people to feel," explained Immortal Technique from his Harlem, NY headquarters.
I'm also an admirer of Tech's entrepreneurial spirit and work ethic -- he literally produced, manufactured and distributed his first two albums from the streets of Harlem which is a great achievement in and of itself.

While this whole album is a must have, tracks that especially shine (aside from the two already mentioned) are Industrial Revolution, Harlem Streets, The 4th Branch, Freedom of Speech, One (remix) and You Never Know.

 SnakeNet Metal Radio - Home of the Metal Nation!
"Immortal Crusade" starts with a bell chime sample, and then the mayhem ensues with blasting pounding drums, razor blade guitars, and the vocals that Satan himself would absolutely love.
The one thing I liked about "Immortal Crusade" was that for it's nearly 9-minute duration, it doesn't come off as a bore, because VR managed to keep things interesting with different tempos and chord progressions.
The album closer is a very well done cover of Celtic Frost's "Dethroned Emperor." VR do "Dethroned Emperor" fairly well, and make it really heavy, as well as making it sound like their own song with their style which is something I like seeing in a cover song.
