I
- BETWEEN TWO WORLDS
To
call "I" a Norwegian supergroup would be nothing short of an understatement:
featuring members of the mighty IMMORTAL, GOD SEED and ENSLAVED in its
ranks, it came as no surprise that the debut album Between
Two Worlds took us to the very roots of high class-Black
Metal and further...
With IMMORTAL having disbanded for a few years, the metal scene suffered
a great loss. Not only did they spearhead the rise of brutal and epic
Norwegian metal, but their live shows where second to none. Frontman
Abbath assembled his troops and kicked back with a debut album that
picked up where IMMORTAL left off, but with a new edge. With classic
riffs, monumental choruses and epic arrangements, Between
Two Worlds arrived to set the Metal world on fire!
The
obvious hints at the legendary BATHORY (just check out "Far Beyond The
Quiet") are meant as a tribute to the deceased mastermind Quorthon: it
was written in honor to the highly influential Swedish cult act. Lyricist
Demonaz even points out having tried to write in Quorthon's style.
"I" have suceeded in truly combining the best of two worlds: a haunting
and epic look at the past of Black Metal, fused with all the hatred and
heaviness IMMORTAL is still standing for.
