Sons of Northern Darkness is the seventh album by Norwegian black metal band Immortal. It continues the blackened thrash metal style heard on the two previous releases, At the Heart of Winter and Damned in Black . This was the band's first release on Nuclear Blast Records and the last to feature Iscariah on bass, who admitted to only playing bass on opening track "One by One". The rest of the album's bass tracks were played by vocalist/guitarist Abbath in what would be his last contribution on bass before departing in 2015.
