According to BLABBERMOUTH.NET, Norwegian black metal legends IMMORTAL (DEMONAZ and HORGH) are set to release a new offering without ABBATH.
MORE INFO T.B.A.
The trademark application via EIKEMO was denied 7/21/2015 as ABBATH has launched a band under his name sake.
NEW IMMORTAL song titles "Northern Chaos Gods", "Called To Ice" and "Blacker Of Worlds".
According to a letter sent via ABBATH, vocalist/guitarist for Norwegian black metal legends IMMORTAL to the NORWEGIAN INDUSTRIAL PROPERTY OFFICE , DEMONAZ and HORGH left the band earlier this year as they failed to pay rent on the bands rehearsal studio, usually split between the three band members. ABBATH was under the impression, due to band turmoil, DEMONAZ and HORGH wanted to take a longer break from the band as ABBATH payed for the rehearsal space.
IMMORTAL were involved in a trade mark lawsuit over the bands name.
ABBATH states IMMORTAL are contractually obligated for another studio release for NUCLEAR BLAST RECORDS as the new material is completed with other musicians.
IMMORTAL front man ABBATH has claimed rights over the bands name via EIKOMO COMPOSITIONS. However, the application has been stopped by lyricist/guitarist DEMONAZ and drummer HORGH whom want the IMMORTAL trademark to be shared by all three members as the matter will stand before civil court (NORWEGIAN INDUSTRIAL PROPERTY COURT) JANUARY OR FEBRUARY 2015.
DEMONAZ has stated to DAGBLADET.NO. that "he is familiar with the contents of ABBATH's letter, "I've read it, and our lawyer read it. We will come back with a feed back letter it contains incorrect information".
IMMORTAL unleashed "All Shall Fall" 9/25/2009 via NUCLEAR BLAST RECORDS.
ABBATH shall release a debut offering (title and release date T.B.A.) in 2016 via SEASON OF MIST.

FROM NUCLEAR BLAST RECORDS:
IMMORTAL - NEW SONGS IN PROGRESS
Norway’s unstoppable black metal force Immortal has been busy working on the band's new material. The band's members Demonaz and Horgh have also gone through a legal process the last year, having to protect their band’s name and logo from their previous singer.
In October 2014, ex-IMMORTAL singer/guitarist Abbath (Olve Eikemo)
filed an trademark application for registration of the brand IMMORTAL to
Patentstyret (Norwegian Industrial Property Office) without informing
the other band members. The band's core members Horgh and Demonaz were
forced to seek legal help to counter this. The trademark application
from Eikemo was not approved and was denied registered on July 21th,
2015. Eikemo has left IMMORTAL to start his new band.
"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 then 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."
Demonaz, the band’s founding member, has created material based on his visions of Blashyrkh for nearly 25 years. Some new songs, which are set to be included on the next album, are 'Northern Chaos Gods', 'Called To Ice', and 'Blacker Of Worlds'.
More information about the new music and line-up will be presented later this year.
