The Chaos Order was formed in 2011 by Asgoroth in southern Germany after the death of his former band. Through blood and incense received, tunes and words of the other side were collected throughout the years.

In 2014 the first aural manifestations „From the tunnels of set“
were recorded at Lux Arcanum Studios.

„From the tunnels of set“ will be released on Digipak CD soon by Lamech Records.

For 2015 a EP is scheduled.

From the tunnels of set…into the untamed fire!
I am the serpent, the trident, the sickle and the light!

Portae Obscuritas was formed in the year 2007 in Innsbruck/Austria by Erebus.
C.G. joined the constellation the same month.
In MMIX the group recorded a demo cd called Ad Vesperum with former guitarist P.W. and D.E. on vocals.
The first sign was set.
Two years later Iskald joined the horde as the new vocalist and Neshamah on bass guitar.
The demo tape Non Serviam was released as a ltd edition, with former musicians.
Neshamah left Portae Obscuritas in MMXIII as bass guitarist but supports the band as live guitarist.
Iskald replaced him on bass guitar and still do the vocals.
In this triumvirat with Iskald, Erebus and C.G. the horde recorded their first full length album Sapientia Occulta with new influences and inspirations.
The conspiracy is preparing to spread the occult sounds and words.

Portae Obscuritas stands for an Occult and Spiritual creation.
They follow their own inspiration and they always hold the reins strong.
The music is influenced by the great and wide cosmos and the lyrics spread the spirit of occult nature. The sounds strengthen flesh & blood to summon the hordes.

Immortal's frontman and founding member has been writing and rehearsing fervently, with a deluge of new material ready to be recorded; unable to come to an agreement in order move forward with the other members of the band, he has formed a new line up. Whilst grateful and respectful for the contributions of Demonaz, Horgh and Apollyon, the time is now right for Abbath to present his art to the world and continue to evolve the legacy.

The next two years will see the release of a new album alongside select live performances – the first of these to be announced is The Forum in London on Friday 18th September. This will be Abbath's first time back on stage in the UK since triumphantly headlining Bloodstock Festival in 2011 alongside W.A.S.P and Motцrhead. Following this, February 2016 will see a return to playing on home soil as the headliner for the prestigious Blastfest in Bergen – on top of a 100% Norwegian line up.

Abbath is a continued weaving of this artist's creative thread: new songs have been honed, ready to sit alongside classic Immortal material and rarely – if ever – played gems that will be unearthed from an epic catalogue spanning over two decades.

Using his own name is a natural step for Abbath, having become iconic and synonymous with the band that he co-founded in 1990. That's 25 years of powering face first into the northern wind; a milestone for any band, and rather than exploit it by dragging Immortal's name through the mud, Abbath will instead carry his own on his back.

The name of Immortal, for the time being, will rest; the essence, the power, the music – and Abbath – will not.
