I de tidlige årene jobbet de med en rekke forskjellige trommeslagere, men i 1996 ble Reidar Horghagen, kjent som Horgh, med i bandet som trommeslager og har vært et medlem av bandet siden den gang. Gjennom årene har det vært minst 13 ulike medlemmer i bandet, selv om kjernemedlemmene alltid var de samme etter Horgh ble med i bandet som trommeslager. Ett tema som synes gjennom tekstene til Immortal er hva de kaller Blashyrkh, et rike som de opprettet og modellerte etter hjembyen Bergen. Tilsynelatende er riket fylt med demoniske kriger og de to grunnleggerne av bandet sa at å skrive om dette stedet de kalte Blashyrkh var et uttrykk på følelsene sine om Bergen. Musikkvideoer med riket viser isdekkede landskap, tåke og mørke. Noen fans vil si at bandet har skapt sin egen nisje i black metal-scenen ved å skape Blashyrkh. Bandet har gitt ut vellykkede black metal album siden det først startet, selv om de tok en pause fra 2007 til 2009. Deres siste album ble utgitt i 2010. I alt har de sju fulle album, en EP, en split, en demo og en DVD i repertoaret sitt. ----Formal English---- Immortal Immortal is a Norwegian black metal band that was started in 1990 by Herald Naevdal, also known as Demonaz Doom Occulta, who played guitar, and Olve Eikemo, also known as Abbath Doom Occulta, who is the current lead guitarist and front man. In the early years of the band, they worked with a variety of drummers, but in 1996 Reidar Horghagen, known now simply as Horgh, joined the band as their drummer and has been with them ever since. Over the years, the band has had at least thirteen different members, although the core members were always the same after Horgh joined the band as the drummer. One theme that seems to run through Immortal's lyrics is what they call Blashyrkh, a realm that they created and modeled after their hometown of Bergen, Norway. Supposedly the realm is filled with demonic wars, and the two founding members of the band said that they were expressing their feelings about Bergen by writing about this place they called Blashyrkh. Music videos featuring the realm show ice-covered landscapes, fog, and darkness. Some fans would say that the band created its own niche in the black metal scene by creating Blashyrkh. The band has been turning out successful black metal albums since it first started, although they took a break from 2009 until 2007. Their latest album was released in 2010. In all, they have seven full-length albums, one EP, one split, one demo, and one DVD to their credit. --------------------------- Learn Norwegian with NorwegianClass101!
