Check out the cover artwork below.



Demo versions of two songs "Over The Mountains" and "Dying Sun" — can be streamed below. Both tracks were recorded in 2007 at Soundsurf studios in Bergen, Norway.



DEMONAZ lineup on the demos was as follows:



Demonaz (Vocals, Music and Lyrics)

Abbath (Bass, Backing Vocals)

Ice Dale (Guitars)

Armagedda (drums)



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.



2007 saw the IMMORTAL reunion with 10 concerts. The new stage lineup with Abbath, Horgh and Apollyon perfomed the first gig of this journey headlining the Inferno Festival in Norway.

[Mr. P]

I'm so waiting this album.

[FUKKET]

i'm curious about this

[Spirits of the Deep Waters]

Is he able to play again or what?

[rhino]

besides writing the music and lyrics, he is just doing vocals



also, i realized this is pretty much "I" with demonaz on vocals. i like these two songs alot, they are full of atmosphere, and remind me of some later bathory

It does sound very I'ish but still very different. I really can't imagine Abbath singing over this two songs at all. I think this is much more old school rock/metal than what I presents with mighty guitar walls



And listen to this song also.
