In Immortal, he is kent for his leerics which, unconventionally for black metal, focus on icy landscapes an a fictional land cried Blashyrkh. The story o Blashyrkh is gradually tauld throughoot Immortal's albums. When writin leerics he aften takes lang walks in the Norse kintraside near his hametoun o Bergen for inspiration. He wis kent for his simplistic but extremely fast guitar pairts which wur aaways based aroond pouer chords. Wi Abbath, he formed the core o Immortal till 1997, wi members fluctuatin itherwise an little stability till Horgh joined the baund in 1997.
Demonaz played guitar on the albums Diabolical Fullmoon Mysticism, Pure Holocaust and Battles in the North, wi his last muisical contribution tae Immortal being the 1997 album Blizzard Beasts. That same year, he wis diagnosed wi acute tendinopathy, an coud nae langer play guitar at the speed required for Immortal. Instead, he continues tae write leerics for Immortal an aften takes the role o manager. He aften accompanies the baund on tour an is still seen bi Abbath, Horgh an Apollyon as a member o the baund even though it is unlikely he will iver be able tae play guitar again as pairt o the baund.
Demonaz haes appeared in aw o Immortal's muisic videos, includin the muisic video for All Shall Fall, which wis released in September 2010.
