Former Immortal frontman guitarist Abbath To Tour In Oct

He might have parted company with Norwegian black metal band Immortal, but their frontman and guitarist, Abbath Doom Occulta, has returned with a new three-piece under his own name - Abbath.

He launched the new entity at the Tuska Festival in Finland earlier this year and now he's announced he's bringing the beast to Australia in Oct.

Abbath have a debut album in the works and will play a couple of songs from it, but fans can expect plenty of Immortal back catalogue as well as the odd track from a project he and drummer, KIng, had back in 2006.
