We Heart the Blizzard Beasts

Just a friendly reminder to tell ya that we think Immortal fucking rules. A few months back, right when we thought music couldn't get any better, we picked up Sons of Northern Darkness and immediately said, "Holy shit! Abbath, where have you been all our lives?"


There's something about Immortal that makes us glad to be alive. Is it their bad-ass panda makeup? Their frosty songs about ice demons? Their pointy shin guards? You bet! But what really gets our boats a-floatin' is their thrash metal breakdowns! So far we've picked up, like, four Immortal discs and each one is chock full of six minute tunes that guarantee at least one but probably two fist-pumping, head-banging bridges that get us grinning time and time again. And here at the Heavy Duty our bread is power chords and our butter is half-time grooves so you know that when At the Heart of Winter starts a-blasting we're already strapping on the feedbag.


So Immortal, we loves ya. You eased us aboard this black metal train, you made us the coolest guys on the employee bus, and so far you've put out a handful of records we're forever proud to own. Salut Abbath, Horgh, Demonaz, and that dude who sometimes plays the bass! You've changed our lives for the better and we're feverishly awaiting your grim return!
