About The Immortals

There are multiple artists named "The Immortals": 1. Belgian electronic duo Praga Khan and Oliver Adams, known for their work in the band Lords of Acid. In 1992 they released the single "Techno Syndrome (Mortal Kombat)", which was later used in television advertising for "Mortal Monday" on September 13, 1993, coinciding with the home console release of the video game "Mortal Kombat". Following the commercial success of the track, Virgin commissioned them in 1994 to produce a full album based on characters from the game, released as "Mortal Kombat The Album". The album includes songs dedicated to eight fighters from the game as well as two versions of "Techno Syndrome", which later became widely known as the "Mortal Kombat theme". A promotional 12-inch single featuring three tracks from "Sonya (Go Go Go)" was also released. Although the duo did not continue producing further albums under this name, they briefly revived the project in 1997 for remixes of the JX track "Close To Your Heart" and additional remixes of "Techno Syndrome" for the film "Mortal Kombat Annihilation", including "Techno Syndrome (97 Mix)" and a version titled "Theme From Mortal Kombat (Encounter the Ultimate)" on the soundtrack. A cover of the track was also recorded by Utah Saints for the soundtrack of the first "Mortal Kombat" film. 2. Nigerian band that combined traditional African musical elements with funk and rock influences. They are noted for the song "Hot Tears", which was included on the compilation "Nigeria 70: Lagos Jump". The track has been described in comparative reviews as having similarities to garage rock styles associated with The Sonics. 3. Little information is available about this group. They released the single "Babylon" in 1974. 4. Disco and Hi-NRG studio project associated with producers Ian Guenther and Willi Morrison, known for their work on acts such as THP Orchestra, Grand Tour, Duncan Sisters, Big Smoke, Sticky Fingers, and Skatt Brothers. The project released "The Ultimate Warlord" in 1979, a track often cited as an early example of Hi-NRG music. The production features prominent synthesizer elements and was played in club settings, including by DJ Bobby Viteritti at the Trocadero Transfer nightclub. 5. Short-lived studio project from 1986 involving Robert Ahwai (guitar), John Deacon (bass, from Queen), and Lenny Zakatek (vocals). The group recorded the song "No Turning Back" for the film "Biggles". 6. They released "Sons of Southern Sunshine" in 1961.
