"Immortal Souls usher in a new kingdom of metal - uniquely identified as their own. A strong thrashy sound, packed with punchy solos, precision landing bass, including traditional style thrash drums & burning vocals.

For fans of these musical styles/subgenres: black/power/doom/speed/thrash metal, intermingled with traditional Finnish music song arrangements, 1960s psychodelic reminiscing of The Doors.

Immortal Souls impresses me with each new release, a better defined, more solid piece of machinery is created, delicate precision-based/thought provoking music centerpiece. The center of Finnish metal scene comes the ice sledgehammer..."
