I'm really glad to hear that he retained the overall feel from the last 2 albums, I was a little worried about the whole 8-string thing lol. It seems like it solved most of the issues with everything sounding too thin, I can't wait to hear the rest.

I still think it sounds too thin. It's like there's no bass guitar at all In the full, mixed song behind the link, that is.

me likie bread sticks, me likie bread sticks...

Great song, great production, but he's helping me avoid the temptation to get an 8 string - it's really hard to make room for a bass with guitars this low, yet it feels like it's missing bass... which is pretty much the issue I've heard with anything done on an 8 string, however with Jens Bogren producing, given his skills, this means these kinds of issues are unavoidable to some extent.

I did not like that at all to be honest. Hopefully the rest of the material is a bit more similar to angL at least.

 

[Harry Hughes]

Fuck yeah, I'm loving this track, cannot wait for the full album to come up.

Too much boring chugga chugga riffs also. I think I'll just give Anthems another spin

Sounds pretty good,

but am i the only one who thinks this stuff is pretty poor compared to his work in Emperor???
sounds like it could have come from any scandinavian shred-kid, not the man who brought us Anthems To The Welkin At Dusk.

Well, Trym and Samoth contributed much too Judging from the MetalKult video interview, they pretty much wrote all songs together, except for Prometheus, which Ihsahn did pretty much solo.

Nonetheless the difference in quality and originality is quite a bit bigger than I had hoped . There's probably another audience for this stuff and fortunately we can still just listen to the old Emperor albums. Still I cannot help but feel let down by one of my teenage heroes .

thats it,
Anthems and In The Nightside Eclipse on repeat for the rest of the night.
