Reviews Customer Reviews for At The Heart Of Winter      Stunning!.      Rating:      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 intricate guitar riffing and tempo changes while still retaining the blastbeats thats found in other Black Metal groups, the album was also produced by Peter Tagtgren who also produced for groups like Hypocrisy and Satyricon so if you liked those two then your going to love this. There are songs like Solarfall and Tragedies blows at horizon which showcases the creative arrangements while singer and lead guitarist Abbath screeches like a beast, the songs still have a hint of melody but manage to sound heavy. The song Where dark and light don't differ sounds like the group might be preparing for battle or something and the drummer Horg comes up with some amazing drum patterns along with Abbath's great riffs which makes this one of the best black metal songs I've ever heard and The title track At The Heart Of Winter which starts of with a melodic intro and a synthesizer is quite bizarre and sounds very atmospheric in fact I just got a chill listening to it then the song starts blasting off with its heavy and cascading riffs and I must say that it was one of the best black metal tracks I've heard so far then the album closes off with the epic song Years of silent sorrow. Immortal has definitely been influenced by Bathory especially on this album where you can tell that they experimented a little, anyway At The Heart Of Winter was absolutely perfect and it doesn't have a single bad song on it so if you like extreme or black metal music then you should definitely check it out, like I said Immortal are one of the best black metal groups out there.     Customer Reviews for At The Heart Of Winter Cd      excellent!      Rating:      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 and Light Don't Differ" Editorial Reviews for At The Heart Of Winter Audio Cd      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.
