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.

Watzmannsage: Watzmann, rabid, full of rage, crimson blood flowing in his veins. Disgorged of his dark gorge, the revelations of his bloodthirsty years. The wicked creatures stretched high in the Bavarian Alps, turning into cliffs and stones, towering into the sky shrouded in deadly nebulae, covered in snow. The new „VVatzmannsage“ EP is out. V hymns compiled from the first EP of Drudensang and the „Teufelsspuk und Alpenraunen“ Split in an new version.

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.
