At Tuska, ABBATH premiered a brand new song titled ‘Fenrir Hunts’, which was played alongside classic IMMORTAL material including ‘One By One’, and a handful of songs from Abbath’ and King’s 2006 project ‘I’.
Abbath anounced that he was moving forward under his own name earlier this year. The Immortal frontman and songwriter has been working on new material and the band will enter the studio this summer to record ABBATH’ debut album, which will be released early 2016.
