Experience the raw power of Norwegian black metal with Immortal’s “Battles in the North” CD, the third studio album from the legendary band. Released on May 15, 1995 through Osmose Productions, this iconic album continues the ferocity of its predecessor, Pure Holocaust, featuring blistering tempos, low-fidelity production, and frostbitten lyrics inspired by wintery landscapes.

“Battles in the North” is the first Immortal album where the mythical realm of Blashyrkh becomes a central theme, defining the band’s unique black metal universe. This release also marks the final album featuring Abbath on drums, making it a significant piece of black metal history. Essential for black metal fans, collectors, and extreme metal enthusiasts, this album remains a cornerstone of Norwegian black metal and a must-have for any metal CD collection.
