I like this album so far but Sons of Northern Darkeness is still the best Immortal album, let alone one of the best black metal albums ever!

Nice review James, I agree on the big influence that Bathory has on this album, which is good in my book. I don't know if it's my fanboyism but I would rate this in the mid 90's. Anyway, the album is a blast, top 5 of the year easily, not only in BM, but in Metal in general, and Unearthly Kingdom will be a future classic in Immortal repertoire.

It's all a matter of opinion, but I'd take At The Heart of Winter over Sons. I love them both of course.

Great review, and I'd have to agree with just about everything said. I absolutely love Unearthly Kingdom.

Total epic reviews this week. Good to see the classic Euro BM bands are still breathing with life.

Now all we need is that Emperor reunion to come full circle...

The "I" release had a few good tracks.

I really can't get how someone can "not like I at all" and think this album is good.

Maybe because it's different, I actually think it has some very good tracks.

Yup. This album, based on the first listen I just had moments ago, sounds more like the I album than Immortal. Like Between Two Worlds but with the rocking stuff stripped away and leaving...well, Bathory.

I hear Immortal too. I love this one. I am on music overload right now (just got a huge shipment in), so I'll save my "album of the year" comment I was going to make. I need to listen to everything I have first. This is killer though.

It gets automatic album of the year from me because it's Immortal. :P
