Bergen [http://home.c2i.net/famhegg/BLACKMET.htm] ,Norway ) is a Norwegian drummer, currently playing for Swedishdeath metal band Hypocrisy and, more famously, Norwegianblack metal band Immortal.Horgh joined Immortal in 1996, following a succession of rotating members and taking over drum duties from Abbath, who had previously handled almost all instrumentation for the band. Horgh has been with the band since 1997, and has remained the only other core member besides the ever-present Abbath, playing drums on
Blizzard Beasts ,At the Heart of Winter ,Damned in Black andSons of Northern Darkness .Horgh's style incorporates more straightforward metal techniques than Abbath's mostly blast beat orientated way of playing. The liner notes of his first Immortal album, Blizzard Beasts, dedicate the album to him. .
Immortal disbanded in 2003 but officially reformed in 2007, after Abbath was finished with recording his side project I. After a successful string of shows in summer 2007, they announced they would be returning to the studio to record the follow up to 2002's Sons Of Northern Darkness. They have also played several dates at major European metal festivals in 2008 also.
