Though I quickly grew tired of the old Norwegian sound and scene, it produced a few albums that still deserve our undivided attention and Immortal has been responsible for a couple of those. I am not even going to discuss the comedic aspect of this band, you've seen the artwork and can draw your own conclusions. I bought Battles in the North as a 14 or 15 year old and didn't know what hit me. Totally chaotic hyperspeed blasts courtesy of Abbath, unretracable screechy guitar lines treated with a production cold, sharp and thin like shards of ice, and vocals - wait, I wasn't going to deal with the funny parts. Anyway, it works! Not in the same way as a Lunar Aurora does, for instance, but it's just as grim and almost as hypnotic. Let the artwork and track titles be a warning - put on your gloves and a woollen hat before listening!
