Watch the lyric video for ‘Return To Cold’ below.
The band ́s founder Demonaz stated about ‘Return To Cold‘:
“‘Return To Cold’ was the second song I wrote for this album. The guitar work is in the old insisting, Immortal style with just a handful of riffs.
To make it feel even more like a song from the earlier albums, there are no big breaks, guitar solos, or other distractions.
A powerful open main riff together with the majestic harmony and gloomy clean guitars created the frame for another atmospheric, distinct and characteristic Immortal song.
The lyrics were written outside, on my walk through the forest, up the mountainside, to the cold windy tops, embracing the power and the timeless feel from winter. It is a definite return to cold, and like the rest of the album… a tribute to the long-standing Immortal fans.

IMMORTAL, from the Norwegian town Bergen, have established themselves as one of the most important black metal bands in the world. Formed by Demonaz (guitars) and Abbath (bass/vocals) in 1990, the band released their first three albums, Diabolical Fullmoon Mysticism, Pure Holocaust and Battles In The North during the years 1992-1995.
These very first records established and defined the musical style the band became infamous for.
The band then released their Blizzard Beasts album in 1997. Shortly after this, Demonaz was diagnosed with a serious shoulder injury. He continued to work with the band but stopped playing guitar live. Abbath changed position from bass to playing guitar, and the band continued with different bass players over the years, releasing the albums At The Heart Of Winter (1999), Damned In Black (2000) and Sons Of Northern Darkness (2002).
In 2003 the band was put on ice, but returned to the stage in 2007 and completed several headline appearances and tours across Australia, New Zealand and the USA. All Shall Fall was released in 2009, followed by further massive festival shows and additional concerts worldwide.
In 2015, IMMORTAL and ex-singer/guitarist Abbath went their separate ways. In 2018, IMMORTAL returned with Demonaz performing on guitar once again, also fronting the band as vocalist, releasing their 9th studio album, Northern Chaos Gods, which was very well received by both fans and global press.
Come 2023, IMMORTAL sees Demonaz releasing War Against All, the band’s 10th studio album. The record has been composed and performed by Demonaz, featuring some session members, like in earlier recordings.
The album was produced by Arve Isdal, and recorded at Conclave & Earshot Studios in Bergen, Norway by Herbrand Larsen and Arve Isdal. The album was mastered by Iver Sandøy at Solslottet.
