IMMORTAL Members Embroiled In Legal Battle Over Rights To Band Name
Demonaz and Horgh's attorney cites section 21 of the Norwegian Trademarks Act, which states: "Anyone who can prove that he is entitled to a trademark in an application filed by another party may request that the Norwegian Industrial Property Office transfer the application. In such case, the person in question shall pay a new application fee. If there is doubt as to who is entitled to the right, the Norwegian Industrial Property Office may request that the party requesting the application be transferred to him bring legal actions within a time limit fixed by the Norwegian Industrial Property Office. If no such legal actions are brought within the time limit, the Norwegian Industrial Property Office may disregard the request. The party requesting the transfer shall be notified of this. While a transfer case is being examined by the Norwegian Industrial Property Office, the application may not be amended, shelved, refused or granted until the question of transfer has been finally decided. If legal actions have been brought concerning the right to the trademark, the Norwegian Industrial Property Office shall postpone examination of the case concerning registration or transfer until the proceedings have been decided with legally binding effect. The Norwegian Industrial Property Office shall notify the applicant and the party who has requested that the application be transferred to him of the decision in the transfer case. A final decision that the application is to be transferred shall be entered in the Trademark Register and published."
Abbath has until this Friday (December 12) to respond to the opposition before the Norwegian Industrial Property Office rules in the matter, which will probably happen in January or February.
IMMORTAL's core trio consisting of Abbath, Demonaz and Horgh has been together since 1996 and has been responsible for crafting the band's last five albums: "Blizzard Beasts" (1997), "At The Heart Of Winter" (1999), "Damned In Black" (2000), "Sons Of Northern Darkness" (2002) and the 2009 reunion album "All Shall Fall".
Speaking to Lords Of Metal in 2009, Demonaz clarified his status with IMMORTAL. "It's my band!" he laughed. "Me and Abbath started this band, and I got problems with my arms back in 1997. Instead of finding another guitar player, Abbath just took over the guitar and we went for a new bass player. But I still tour with the band, you know."
In a 2008 interview with Guitar World magazine, Abbath spoke about IMMORTAL's 2003 split, which at the time was attributed to "personal reasons." He said: "Of course, it was for personal reasons. The band is personal. We are a family. We are brothers. It's like a marriage. When you marry someone, you believe in it. You want to continue it, but sometimes you need a break. A lot of bands just milk it. We could've continued and made a lot of money, but I've never done this for the money or the fame. All that stuff means nothing if you don't have the spirit inside. And we were starting to lose it a little. We're not stupid. We are very smart when it comes to our shit. We think long term. To quote Paul Stanley, 'KISS is not the latest trend, it's a lifestyle.' Same thing with IMMORTAL. It's our life."
Asked about the fact that Abbath and Demonaz were actually brothers-in-law at one point, Abbath said: "Yes, I was married to Demonaz's sister, and I have a [teenage] son with her. She's still one of my best friends. So Demonaz and I are really like a family. There's no fucking around. Demonaz is my brother. I'm an only child. He has two sisters but no brother. But we have each other. Family is important. We have strong bonds."

Срочно звонить в пекарню заказывать свадебный то(по)рт!
Испытание полем, ага.
Та история кончилась плоховато - инфернусов Gorgoroth с 2010 года ничего нового не выпустил и скатился в полное УГ. Как бы Аббат, при всем к нему уважении, не оказался тоже у разбитого корыта..
P.S. Нового альбома Immortal похоже можно не ждать...
Гаал апплодирует настоящей семье Иммортал разработанными пресными северными булками
Басиста они, вроде, к фото не допускают.
lsingore, не согласен, последний релиз Горгогота 1 из наиболее слушабельных у них.
P.S. на фото нет Демоназа.
А потом уже не до смеха было.
Прежние-то булки уже не вернуть.
Love is, печально то, что это одни из основателей тру блэка, многие от них ждут нового альбома, они считались одной из наиболее стабильных групп и тут вдруг вот такое.
А что весёлого в том, что судятся друзья, старые знакомые, давние коллеги по группе? Судиться могут максимум бывшие деловые партнёры. Когда судятся бывшие хорошие знакомые, это значит что что-то безвозвратно умирает.
@что прекрасно говорит о твоих музыкальных пристрастиях@
чувствуешь себя особо элитарно?
Интереснопиздец.
