8 Released in 2000 on osmose records this album is a fine example of black metal which doesnt get enough credit from many black metallers. The lyrics, written by Demonaz, are typical Immortal dealing with the dark,cold,storms and winter and the music is quite reperesentative of Immortal two as this album came during the transformation of the songs from blastbeat mayhem to (relativly) more slower and tuneful songs as seen on the last album. However this album is still heavy as fuck and also extremely fast and aggressive which is mighty impressive considering that the band is only a threepiece and the technicality of the playing. The stand out tracks on this album,for me, are Against The Tide (in the arctic world) and the title track anthem Damned In Black which is surely worth the asking price of the album itself. Overall this is not only a well played and technical Immortal album but also a well played and impressive black metal album which really should be in your collection.
