"when you could be listening to this album. Abbath and Armegedda from Immortal, King from Gorgoroth, and Ice Dale from Enslaved. Do you really need any more explanation. This is a cross between Motorhead/Immortal/Bathory , this is killer mid paced songs of Ice, Battle , and Freezen cold worlds. This is killer stuff, lots of strong as hell riffs all played at midpaced levels with lots of groove. The leads are melodic and cathcy, and the solos arent over the type and everything fits the songs well. BUY THIS. Demonaz of Immortal wrote all the lyrics. I guess you could call this Bathory worship at its BEST. Def. a top 10 album of the year along with Mercenary Hours THat Remain, The Haunted Dead Eye, Hammerfall Threshold, Dream Evil United, Wolf Black Flame, and Amon AMarth With ODen On Our Side."
An interesting twist.

"I didn't really know what to expect when I bought this album. I knew i was a fan of Immortal's last album 'Sons Of Northern Darkness'. I figured it would be something along those lines. I was mistaken, and delightfully surprised. 'I' features members from Immortal, Enslaved, and Gorgoroth. It is heavy metal with a hint of black metal, and the crisp blackend vocals of Immortals own Olve Eikemo (Abbath). The songs are very catchy and extremely unique. It's a must for any fan of black metal or any one seeking out something new."
METAL ALBUM OF THE YEAR 2006

"Superb Metal album!! At first I was put off by the commercial leanings of this album, expecting to hear IMMORTAL. But, after repeated listening, it grew on me in a big way. I should have given this 5 STARS!! So far it's the best Metal album I've heard from 2006.
Some are saying it's not IMMORTAL. Those IMMORTAL ripsaw power chords are there. Only they sound more mainstream. And the growling dark winter vocals and lyrics are there. It sounds like IMMORTAL to me. But, with a more straight ahead feel to the Metal. I think maybe Abbath is looking for a more commercial appeal to his sound. Black Metal is basically a fringe audience. When you can play this good, who wouldn't want to appeal to a bigger audience? It works for me in a big way. I love IMMORTAL. They're my second favorite Black Metal band next to EMPEROR. But, I love the direction Abbath is taking with this music. This is the best solid straight up Metal album I've heard in a long time. And I hope there's going to be more.
IMMORTAL lyrics and vocals, yes. BATHORY songs, yes.
MOTORHEAD? No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
I don't get the MOTORHEAD comparison. I love MOTORHEAD, but the only track that sounds even vaguely like MOTORHEAD is maybe THE STORM I RIDE. Maybe."
These guys know what their doing!!

"Abbath, was quoted as sayin," I had all these riffs layed down, but they would'nt have worked for Immortal at the time." So, we get "Between Two Worlds and I'm glad Abbath found a way to get those "riffs" out there. This imo, is an excellent rock/metal album. Quality musicianship, top production and songwriting. Arve Isdal(guitarist with Enslaved) plays on this and o e reason why I got this. Imo, Arve is really not appreciated in the metal world for his guitar virtuosity. One of the best working today. Pick this up!"
