IMMORTAL 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.
ITP V.09 REVIEW: IMMORTAL: "All Shall Fall":
http://spak-individualthoughtpatterns.blogspot.com/2009/09/itp-review-immortal-all-shall-fall.html
FROM NUCLEAR BLAST RECORDS:
After the Immortal trademark case was closed by “Patentstyret” (Norway’s Patent Office) in November 2015, Demonaz and Horgh can finally share their side of the story for the first time.
FROM IMMORTAL:
After the IMMORTAL trademark case was closed by “PATENTSTYRET” (Norway’s Patent Office) in November 2015, Demonaz and Horgh can finally share their side of the story for the first time.
The conflict was not about anyone leaving the band as Abbath claimed.
It was all about his personal problems. He had cancelled rehearsals and
ruined the band’s progress for a very long time. We were forced to
confront him about it.
Abbath recently told Australian website (TheMusic.com.au) that we wanted things solely on our own timetable and that we claimed he needed rehab.
The band had to reschedule rehearsals all the time because of him. Even then, he did not show up. He told the band, friends, and family that he needed to go to rehab again. He had got help from a clinic before. We offered to wait for him to recover this time also. Sadly he changed his decision.
Instead of trying to solve his problems, he went behind our back and secretly applied for a trademark ownership of the bands logo and name. It was hard to believe that his problems had led him to such a point.
When his attempt to get the rights was discovered by the band, he all of a sudden went solo. His accusations against the band in media changed from day to day. The fans started to question his version and wanted us to speak about what really happened. Unfortunately, we had to wait until the case was
all closed, to make a statement.
His trademark application was denied and the case closed by Patentstyret in November, 2015. One of the reasons was because he had only contributed as a co-writer of music in IMMORTAL. Nor did he contribute any lyrics or titles to the bands albums. The fact is that the music has always been a result from the band as a unit.
IMMORTAL will record the new and long awaited album in 2016, which will be released by Nuclear Blast Records.
We are well prepared and looking forward to present the new material to the fans. We did not want to rush things, but take the time to deliver another high quality IMMORTAL album.
More news is coming soon.
Thanks-Stay Metal, Stay Brutal-\m/ -l-
