Live Kult: IMMORTAL “Solarfall” & “Withstand the Fall of Time”

Posted in Live Kult, Videos

Immortal Live 2

Immortal Promo 2007

When legendary Norwegian black metallers Immortal—guitarist Abbath, drummer Horgh, and Aura Noir’s Apollyon on bass—announced that they had reformed and would play a handful of live dates across the globe, we here at MetalKult (along with legions of fans worldwide) were obviously stoked.

So when their 7 Dates of Blashyrkh tour came through New York City on July 13, 2007, we weren’t going to miss it. To our delight, Abbath and company enthusiastically granted our request to film the show.

Check out the following two videos of Immortal playing “Solarfall” and “Withstand the Fall of Time,” from their 1999 album At the Heart of Winter.

The video player requires Flash 8 Player or later. Please download the latest Flash Player.

Thank you to photographer Angela Boatwright for providing her ace video camera skills.

    Before ANYONE goes off half-cocked… I am a “metalhead” from “back in the day”… learned ‘Dethroned Emperor’ when it was a new release! The musicianship has progessed in the last 20-something years ( one could only hope!) but what is the deal? I have been a Christian for the last 15 or so years ( albeit still ‘rough around the edges”). Is all the Satanic crap really neccesary? I do not attend a church ( never been made overly welcome… I still ‘look the part’ of a metalhead… even with a haircut after 20 years…), but still in all…
    I just don’t understand why they couldn’t just kick ass musically, and do the whole “theatrical” bit… but maybe find some OTHER subject material? Pushing one “religious view” is about the same as another, eh? And what is the deal anyways? Clergy run buck wild in Scandinavia beating on people, or what? I was fairly impressed with the music ( the Immortal video) as the first “Black Metal” I have heard in almost 20 years… but just do not understand the need for the “Black” aspect… why not just “Metal”? It almost seems like rebellious teens that never grew up; religious zealots in their own form and fashion; or option #3 ( and the least likely I think…) posers trying for the “shock factor”…
    Since I may never pass this way again, I am compelled to comment… vocals are the Achilles heel ( new meaning to “Frog in the throat”!), and I actually met Phil Anselmo years ago ( about 2 years before ‘Cowboys from Hell’) in my hometown of Baton Rouge… he is a super-nice guy with an awesome voice… am curious to check out his band Down…
    Anyone losing their minds over my comments… trying to damn me to Hellfire… blah blah blah… “Whatever!” and “Holy Hockeystix, get a life!”

    Dangerous Drew, shut up.

    Great band. If you don’t like true black metal, you won’t like Immortal. It’s pretty simple. If you don’t understand the social circumstances from which black metal arose, which in turn explains why they embrace the ideologies they do, then you just won’t get it. That said, if you’re so adamant about bands not touching on religion, why not look past it to the superb musicianship?

    not bad but certainly not better than oldschool death metal (remembering DEATH on Leprosy tour).

    Dangerous Drew, if you are an old metalhead, you should know that all of this is music, fun and spectacle like metal has always been. And all the satanic “crap” is just to shock people like you. Fuck any religion, that’s just oppressing the masses letting ‘em believe in another life after death….so they can accept their daily sufferings :-)

    I hear they may be thinking of a new album…which i most definately be getting my hands on if they do.
    Ive got almost all their albums on my ipod, Sons of Northern Darkness, Pure Holocaust, Battles in the North, and At the Heart of Winter are favorites of mine.

    Sorry about being so venomous, but COME ON. How many of these people posting that this band or that band sucks have a band on a label, have toured the world and are regarded by their peer(i.e. other musicians) as having refined a genre of music? Any takers out there?
