It seems that reports of Immortal's demise were premature. Their label is now saying that the split is not totally true and that "Immortal will simply take a long break, as the musicians need to rest a while after 12 months of excessive touring." As for the member's current plans, they say "both Abbath and Horgh will concentrate on their own projects. To start with, the debut album of Grimfist will probably be released in September on Candlelight Records, with Horgh on drums (along with ex-Immortal bassist Iscariah). So folks, don't worry, you know what 'Immortal' means."
