To celebrate the latest crushing release “Outstrider”, available via Season Of Mist, Norwegian icon Abbath returns to North America accompanied by an excellent band and armed with a blackened energy well known to those who have been following him since his days with the mighty Immortal. A shroud of frost surrounded The Forge in Joliet as Abbath took the stage with his towering presence wearing an armor and ready to conquer the audience with the expected black metal fury and alluring icy melodies. The intense setlist included some of the finest offerings from the new album such as “Bridge Of Spasms”, “The Artifex”, “Harvest Pyre” and “Hecate”, but also Immortal’s classic “One By One” ensuring an unforgettable diabolical live experience.
