Norway's black metal legends IMMORTAL disbanded in 2003 after 13 successful years as one of the pioneers of metal, with a legacy of seven full-length albums, including their latest milestone, 2002's "Sons of Northern Darkness", through Nuclear Blast Records.

After a solid break, the band has decided to enter the battlefield again, and what better way to do so than performing a few selected, exclusive concert appearances!

Come 2007, the world will see a new ferocious lineup of IMMORTAL, featuring Abbath and Horgh, and a new bass player in Apollyon from AURA NOIR.

After already confirming their headlining appearance at Germany's Wacken Open Air 2007, Photograve Management has announced the mighty IMMORTAL's return to U.S. shores for two exclusive shows. The dates are as follows:

Jul. 13 - New York City, NY – B.B. King Blues Club & Grill
Jul. 15 - Los Angeles, CA - The Avalon

Tickets go on sale October 13 2006 at 12:00 p.m. (noon).

IMMORTAL 2007 lineup:

Abbath – Vocals, Guitar
Horgh – Drums
Apollyon – Bass

looks like they were inspired by the success of Emperor and are doing about the same thing, two American dates (which will probably be overpriced)

It is cool though

I'm going even if it's a thousand dollars a ticket.

hm.. you would think someone would label this news or something.

fuck...i didn't see this...oopies

REPOST! hahahaha

That's killer that Apollyon is playing for them but fuck shows at BB Kings. I detest that place.

Hell yea,I can't wait to see Immortal again. One of my favorite Black Metal bands of all time.

i need to go to this

I'm trying to get to Wacken next year...no idea if it'll happen but the idea is there!

I wonder if they'll play only shit from at the heart of winter and on, just like last time. I was pretty disappointed. the oldest track they played was Battles In the North.

this is stupendous news. i am there.

What's everyone's opinion on, I?

I is really good from the two songs I've heard.

paganmegan took the words out of my mouth. I saw this and immediately thought "Emperor"

definitely a pretty overt Bathory influence in "I", which I hear is what they were going for.

Holy shit! Who wants to road trip it from Worcester with me?

Whooaaa really? You're right, that is fucking disappointing. Not that I don't like the later albums... but no material from Pure Holocaust? Weak.
