Alongside the album, the band further released a lyric video for the track "Return To Cold".
Demonaz states about the song: "Return To Cold" was the second song I wrote for this album. The guitarwork is in the old insisting, Immortal style with just a handful of riffs. To make it feel even more like a song from the earlier albums, there is no big breaks, guitar solos, or other distractions. A powerful open main riff together with the majestic harmony and gloomy clean guitars created the frame for another atmospheric, distinct and characteristic Immortal song. The lyrics was written outside, on my walk through the forest, up the mountainside, to the cold windy tops, embracing the power and the timeless feel from winter. – It is a definite return to cold, and like the rest of the album... a tribute to the longstanding Immortal fans."

"War Against All" will be released on May 26th 2023 via Nuclear Blast Records and will feature 8 new songs in the classic, frostbitten Immortal style. Pre-Order "War Against All".
The band's founder Demonaz stated about the title track: "War Against All" was the first track I wrote for this album. It's a fast one where the riffs are mostly inspired by my riffs from "Battles in the North". The lyrics are in the true Blashyrkh battle feel and mood for an opening track too." 🤘
24.10.2022: Immortal announce new album "War Against All"!
Immortal have completed work on their upcoming new studio album. Their new record, "War Against All", will be released via Nuclear Blast Records. This is the band's 10th studio album, and it will feature 8 new songs in classic Immortal style.
The band's founder Demonaz states: "Immortal continues the style that was established and defined on our very first records. It's fast, furious, epic, and mighty Blashyrkh metal - the one and only way!"
Demonaz offers some more background on the process of making "War Against All": "Even though the studio work is necessary to get an ultimate recording, the writing process is obviously my favourite. I still write all the guitar riffs/music at home with the same old vibe, and the lyrics as well. The early days of black metal inspire me the most. Cold nights in the woods, on the mountains under the winter moon. That's what keeps the spirit alive, and the foundation to all our music".
"War Against All" was composed and performed by Demonaz, and it features some session members, like on Immortal's earlier recordings. The album was produced by Arve Isdal, and recorded at Conclave & Earshot Studio in Bergen, Norway by Herbrand Larsen and Arve Isdal.
"It's actually the same studio where I recorded the guitars and vocals for "Northern Chaos Gods". They also did a great job with the new album, and it was a pleasure to go back and work there again. I am especially pleased with the outcome on this one. It's got that cold biting guitar sound, yet powerful production.
Immortal have never compromised on the original vision, which is taking fans on a journey through Blashyrkh with our most grim and dark music, with every new release. These songs are no exception to this. I am proud of the final result, it's got a distinct expression, and I can't wait to let the fans hear it!"
The album's cover artwork was done by the Swedish artist Mattias Frisk.
