He is a regular at Alcatraz but this performance is promising to be something special because the set will consist solely of Immortal tracks.
Abbath Doom Occulta, or Abbath for short, is the former frontman of Norwegian black metal legends Immortal. In 2015 he formed Abbath and by the time their self-titled debut hit the shelves, the line-up consisted of Abbath, bassist King ov Hell and drummer Creature. As was the case on Immortal’s later albums, the thrash influences were apparent here as well. On the heels of a successful tour in support of their debut, work started on their sophomore effort. ‘Outstrider’ epitomises the very nature of the man who after more than three decades still explores a black metal universe of his own making where the man himself reigns supreme. Like his Motörhead cover band, ‘Outstrider’ (2019) is an album that reminds us all that Abbath is a rocker at heart. His most recent slab ‘Dread Reaver’ (2022) is a raw, grandiose and desolate universe unto itself, consisting of a captivating blend of black metal, hard rock, heavy metal and thrash.
