Immortal – Battles In The North (1995)

November 13, 2023

One of the most perfect sonic cauldrons of sound ever created, Battles In The North is absolute and total blastbeat annihilation from start to finish. If your tolerance for such drumming doth not extend past the length of your average grindcore track length, then perhaps Battles In The North is not for you. Otherwise, carry on my blackened vessel of hatred, carry on!

The one downside that I will bring to attention is the fact that on face-value the production can seem a little thin. Immortal would perfect this brittle guitar tone as time went on and your ears do adjust to the “wet paper” drum sound by the end of the opening title track.
