Immortal held a unique place in the black metal world, with their icy, dextrous take on Norwegian metal and a distinctive appearance which eschewed corpse-paint for something more esoteric.

Their cold riffing and textured blast-beats set new levels of insanity within the already quite insane Scandinavian metal scene, and the band held a firm position in the highest echelons of the extreme metal universe. After leaving the band after more than 20 years at the helm, many fans reasonably assumed that would be the last anybody would hear from frontman Abbath. But in 2016 the prolific black metal panda unleashed his debut with his eponymous new band and began hacking and slashing his way back to the top of the heap. Building on their second-wave True Norwegian Black Metal roots to create a sound that would be new and yet would still satisfy their legions of dedicated but ruthless fans.

Now in 2020, Abbath is set to bring sophomore album Outstrider to Australia to unleash their aural violence upon willing audiences, with shows announced in Canberra, Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne and Hobart.
