Editorial Review:

Album Description:
This legendary band's first album, beginning their notoriety with a selection of absolute classics, including the epic 'The Call of the Wintermoon'. This set down the essential Immortal blueprint which they followed on the next three albums: speed on the edge of self-destruction, razor-sharp guitars which bite to the bone, lyrics which illustrated their own icebound world, and a sense of Northern melody which is completely their own. Bursting with Bathory influence, obviously, but still a classic true Norwegian black metal release.

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Best Immortal relase
great brutal, Black metal. This has to be Immortals best release! A must have for anyone who likes Black metal!



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - An epic journey through the land of frozen blackened thrash metal
Let's start with the drama that happened before this recording. Abbath and Demonaz found their new drummer Horgh and released Blizzard Beats, which didn't fare as well as the group hoped. Well, the band regrouped to start working on this album when Demonaz suffered career-ending tendinitis. With the future of Immortal in doubt, the group forged ahead with Demonaz writing the lyrics, Horgh playing drums, and Abbath having to sing, play guitar, and play bass on the recording. The recording process ...



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Stunning!.
Immortal is a truly unique and great Norwegian black metal group, the lyrics in their songs have been inspired by occult themes and the Norwegian forests with its bitter cold climate and heavy winter. If you can look beyond the gimmicky face paint (they do look ridiculous almost like satanic members of Kiss) you'll realise what a great album this is, At The Heart Of Winter has great production value and a fantastic epic sound unlike their previous albums which were underproduced, the album also has some ...



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - excellent!
Along with "Sons of Northern Darkness," this is the best release from Immortal. Unlike a majority of black metal (which I feel is an acquired taste), this is an album/band that many fans of non-radio friendly metal could get into. Every song on this album is awesome, due mostly to the brilliant and memorable riffs and song-writing abilities of Abbath. The production is also excellent--discernable riffing, blast-beats, etc., without sounding slick or polished.

Favorite track: "Where Dark ...



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - where dark and light don't differ
An excellent album by one of the titans of Scandinavian black metal, At The Heart Of Winter features what I consider to be Immortal's most solid line-up - Abbath on guitars (and pretty much everything else), and Horgh on drums. Horgh manages to maintain the tempos throughout, leaving Abbath free to concentrate on unleashing devastating blasts of distorted power. The production is also markedly improved over their previous efforts, and while those who consider themselves "tr00 kvlt" will no doubt bash this ...
