Новый сольный альбом Исана - вокалиста и гитариста норвежской группы Emperor (прогрессивный метал).
I've been a huge fan of Ihsahn's solo work since day one, so I maybe slightly biased - to those of you who are familiar with his previous solo efforts, then you'll know what to expect and this latest instalment perfectly carries on where Das Seelenbrechen left off, to those of you new to him - Ihsahn used to front Norwegian Black Metal Legends Emperor, these solo efforts are a departure from those days, but not a huge one, some of those traits are still present (the raspy vocals, blasting drumming) but unlike the Emperor days he is now a hell of a lot more experimental, incorporating 7&8 string guitars, more clean vocals, better production, female vocals, saxophones, keyboards etc - overall we're talking dark menacing Metal, that somehow lifts you up, some ideas at first seem wrong, but with further listens you find that they couldn't be more right - this is a must buy!!!
