tools - tell me a bit about peccatum. is that the band ihsahn plays with his wife? i havent found anything on the net about them. do you have a link or something?
yeh, he's in it with his wife Ihriel, and her husband ... dunno the name.
as far as i know, they dont have an official site yet, tho i made a
google search
the music is really something different you'd expect compared to Emperor, really avant-garde, and leaves you quizzed at times - i cant really comprehend all arrangements, nor can i appreciate some. it's something you really need to get into thru time.
Ihriel is on the label Jester Records, and her band is named
Star of Ash. it's ok.
other interesting bands you can find on
Jester Recs. It's Kristoffer Rygg's label, aka Trickster G or Garm (Arcturus, Borknagar). Else you could check Tartaros (Charmand Grimloch's band - Ch.G. used to be Emperor's session keyplayer), and Blood Red Throne. On the other hand,
Nocturnal Art Productions has got a cpl of nice bands as well, such as Apotheosis and Red Harvest.
and how was emperor live?
well, i saw them for teh 1st time here in Rotterdam - last show of the tour, so they were pissed, but the gig was still great, unlike the venue (Baroeg).
2nd time was @ the Dynamo, which was just fucking stunning - Emperor at its best on a big stage
i feel shite knowing they will never play again.... best BM band
ever IMO.
