Currently there are no more scheduled live shows.^[3] Abbath has stated that he has started working on new songs for the next album.^[4]

Style

The band features Abbath's raw black metal vocals accompanied with a classic metal influenced sound. Blasts beats and some of the more "erratic" structural traits of black metal have also been excluded, this gives the band more of a classic metal sound but the black metal influences are still evident giving the band a unique sound. ^{[citation needed]}
