I had the great fortune of seeing these guys with Vader and Abigail Williams in a tiny venue in Louisville, KY. There were probably like 30 people in the audience. It was intense.

Probably because Immo were the only good band there.

I don't care what you generally think, but Vader is absolutely incredible live. They combine that thrashy grind that keeps you windmilling with all the heaviness of old school death metal.
And Abigail Williams was VERY good. I had only heard their shitty deathcore record, so I was absolutely floored when they played a full set of authentic black metal. Wonderful atmosphere, great musicianship, great stage presence.
Lest you think I just don't have any selective taste, I purposefully didn't include the other bands on the set because they were pretty awful (Pathology, Lecherous Nocturne, maybe another).

I've never seen Vader live but their records are average, but i saw AW live with Mayhem when they came through here and they were awful. They just stood there, never moved, played some boring songs, then left. Most of the crowd was just having a conversation by the end of their set.

It was probably stuff off their latest release, It's quite good depressive black metal, but that isn't for everyone by any means. I quite enjoy it, however. When I saw them, it was all stuff off of their Emperor-influenced cd.

Was pretty awesome getting this EP for free at one of their shows. They were giving out free Enslaved EPs too. So much good.

So insanely good. Gods of death metal.
I've only ever heard a few songs by them - can you recommend some other songs?
You're in for a treat :)
Father, You're Not A Father Arguably the greatest death metal song of all time.
Higher Coward
Nailed to Gold The riffs!
Into Everlasting Fire
Of Martyrs And Men Used to be my favorite song of theirs.
Passion Kill Another one of my favorites, the passion/god section is extremely catchy.
No Jesus, No Beast
Hm, these don't do much for me, but I'm not a big fan of that old style of death metal anyway... but thanks!
Damn, Father does nothing for you? One of their best for sure.
