Demonaz previously desscribed his solo material as "another cold dimension in my musical and lyrical world."
Abbath and Demonaz formed IMMORTAL in 1990. In 1998 Demonaz stopped playing live with IMMORTAL due to a hand injury, "but writing and working fully with IMMORTAL has been important for us to continue," he said.
