Immortal Completes Writing for Eleventh Studio Album
Norwegian black metal pioneers Immortal have completed the songwriting process for their upcoming eleventh studio album, according to the band’s guitarist and founding member Demonaz.
In a recent update shared through the band’s official channels, Demonaz confirmed that the writing phase for the new record has been finalized and that the project is now moving toward the next stages of production. While a recording timeline and release date have not yet been announced, the band indicated that work on the album is progressing steadily.
The forthcoming record will follow Immortal’s 2018 album *Northern Chaos Gods*, which marked a significant moment for the band as Demonaz returned to handling both guitar duties and lead vocals. The album was widely praised by fans and critics for its return to the band’s classic cold and aggressive black metal sound.
Demonaz has long been the primary lyricist for Immortal, crafting the band’s signature mythological and frost-covered imagery centered around the fictional realm of Blashyrkh. Fans can likely expect the upcoming album to continue exploring the same themes of icy landscapes, darkness, and epic battles that have defined the band’s identity since the early 1990s.
Immortal formed in 1991 in Bergen, Norway, and quickly became one of the most influential acts in the Norwegian black metal scene alongside bands such as Mayhem, Darkthrone, and Emperor. Over the decades, the group has built a devoted international following with albums like *Battles in the North*, *At the Heart of Winter*, and *Sons of Northern Darkness*.
Although lineup changes and internal disputes have occurred over the years, Demonaz has remained the central creative force behind Immortal’s music and aesthetic. The upcoming eleventh album will continue the band’s legacy as one of black metal’s most enduring and recognizable names.
Further details about recording sessions, artwork, and a possible release window are expected to be announced in the coming months.
