Immortal's fourth winter opus, Blizzard Beasts, introduced a new sound, and new drummer, to the band. The album continues the legacy of the band's freezing cold sound and snow-covered lyrics, but with a new style of production that was unheard of in the earlier work. Blizzard Beasts features a heavier, fuller, and more frigid sound than its predecessors, brought in part by drummer Horgh's contribution. The endless blast beats and ripping guitar chords are nothing new for Immortal, but they have never sounded quite as intense and harsh as they do on Blizzard Beasts. Here it is from start to finish, in all its grimness and horror.

Das neue Werk von TOTENHEER aus Luzern. Noch im März 2019 verabschiedet sich Gitarrist Abyss (1993 – 2019) freiwillig aus dem Leben. Nun also das zweite voll Album, welches bereits im Januar 2018 aufgenommen, gemischt und gemastert wurde. Daher kann es auch als ein Andenken an den verstorbenen Gitarristen sein.
At times tragic, at times folkloric, melancholy giving way to bloodlust, Ab Amitia Pulsae proves once again that MAVORIM are uniquely adept at fully coloring within the lines of black metal with the boldest and bravest hues.
