You can find audio samples from the upcoming album "The Adversary" on www.ihsahn.com

Sounds great!

indeed cant wait

Tyr, were you playing bass on the Emperor reunion gig in Oslo last year? Who was the synth player? I was not there, and am curious because info is not clear who was playing besides the three main members...

No, it was Sechtdamon (sp?) from Zyklon that did the bass, and Ihsahn's cousin Einar that did the keys.

 

[Paul]

Ok. Thanks!

 

[Azzor1911]

it sure does, thanks

 

[karpsmom]

Holy hell, I didn't think I could get any more excited about this album!

 

[Shamus]

The website itself is seriously badass too.

 

[Alteredmindeath]

This one is going to be cool. I have always had respect for Ihsahn as a creative musician, he's a good guitar player live, and he does what he wants musically and doesn't give a shit about trends or other bands. I hope Emperor make another album too, that would be the greatest thing in awhile. I don't see why they don't, they have a nice sized underground cult following, and once you have that it lasts for eternity. Like Samoth said Emperor could just be the side project... with Peccatum gone now, more time for EMPEROR!!

With the way things are going, it looks highly possible.

 

[karpsmom]

Yea, I think it might happen. But until then I'm more than happy with having this solo album, it sounds like it's gonna be amazing. I can't wait to hear G's vocals.

 

[Occam's Razor]

Got the promo, fine stuff, but unspectacular because close to Emperor, only rather stripped down with less drama and clearer song-arrangements (well, for the most part). Cool clear vocals and classical instruments (not real ones, I guess). More controlled drumming thanks to Asgeir - no Trym-hyperblast.

 

[karpsmom]

How did you get the promo?

 

[madu]

Judging by the 'LoTFP' below his name, it was sent to him by the label.

Garm sings much on it? Actually, with Garm guesting on Ihsahn and Solefald and having that nu-metal band of his too, maybe he'll start making metal again as well!

 

[Oceana]

garm only sings in one song... the album is killer and it's a must buy

I would not buy it only for Garm, though, because his impact amounts to nil. It's no "gimmick" stressed by the label either, so no big business...but maybe the final release has a nice bumper sticker, considering that information is always scarce with Candlelight's promo-CDs...

Got the promo, fine stuff, but unspectacular because close to Emperor, only rather stripped down with less drama and clearer song-arrangements (well, for the most part).

Nothing wrong with blastbeats when played well!

Trym takes blastbeats to a new level like no one before. Trym is a f**king speed machine and Asgeir also has his talents. Both are excellent drummers in their own rights.

 

[madu]

Even well-played blastbeats get annoying when there's nothing except them, that's why I personally prefer Asgeir by miles.

(nothing except them being an exaggeration of course again)

 

[karpsmom]

I worship Asgeir, he's so full of ability and a fantastic sense of variety in his drumming. Frankly, there aren't enough drummers out there who like to keep things constantly changing.
