ABBATH, the band led by ex-IMMORTAL mainman Olve Eikemo (a.k.a. Abbath), has released a video for its version of the IMMORTAL song “Nebular Ravens Winter”. Check it out below.
ABBATH will release a seven-inch single, “Count The Dead”, on December 11 via Season Of Mist. The A-side features the title track while the B-side consists of a cover version of the JUDAS PRIEST classic “Riding On The Wind”.
“Count The Dead” will be released in two versions, which are both limited to 500 copies worldwide and exclusively available for pre-order through the Season Of Mist shop.
ABBATH’s video for the song “Fenrir Hunts” can be seen below. The clip is a live recording of a new ABBATH track, the studio version of which will appear on the group’s forthcoming debut album, due in early 2016 via Season Of Mist.
The band states: “We have performed ‘Fenrir Hunts’ live since our debut concert at Tuska festival in Finland. This led to the decision to record a few live songs properly. With the aid of a camera team, we have recorded three tracks in a live setting at the beginning of September. Along with ‘Fenrir Hunts’, which you can see today, there will be two cover versions coming up soon. Now, here is ‘Fenrir Hunts’, the first glimpse from our upcoming debut album!”
The “Fenrir Hunts” video was directed by Fraser West. The song was recorded and mixed by Jamie Ward.
Bass duties for ABBATH are being handled by a man familiar to metal fans across the world — Tom Cato Visnes, more widely known as King Ov Hell and main composer for several GORGOROTH albums as well as his own bands OV HELL, with singer Shagrath from DIMMU BORGIR, and GOD SEED, with exceptional black metal vocalist Gaahl. His fellow GOD SEED member and BORKNAGAR percussionist, Baard Kolstad, has also joined ABBATH on drums.
