Frontman and chief composer with the legendary Emperor, he re-wrote the rulebook on epic extreme music across a series of albums that are still widely regarded as classics.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e Ihsahn’s unique approach and liberated musical ethos ensured that when he embarked on a solo career, fans were primed to expect the unexpected... A full conceptual album, presented in two versions: Metal and Orchestral. Ihsahn has created his best and most unique and powerful album to date.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e In Ihsahn’s own words: “With this release, I wanted to dig deep into the core essentials of my musical background; black\/extreme-metal and my love of orchestral music and soundtracks.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e “I approached the writing with the intent to present the material in its full-blown metal expression, but also to arrange the orchestral parts in such a way that they would work independently. Somehow an attempt to write a soundtrack within the structures of the full production, allowing me to explore different, and sometimes contrasting, variations of essentially the same music.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e “In line with the cinematic inspirations, music and lyrics follow two parallel narratives with recurring themes throughout. The main story is presented in the metal version, whereas the secondary story is rooted in the orchestral version, although bleeding into the main story.”\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e ‘IHSAHN’ is available on CD as a hardback digibook or standard jewelcase.
