So where do we share the news about Ihsahn?

ProgArchives, that's a great resource albeit a bit slow on the browser, but there are absolutely people there who would like to see not only Ihsahn, but other acts - that is, the people who may not already be tuned in. There are a lot of casual/fringe metal fans on there who have a chance of getting hooked.
 
Not to slam the original booking of Arcturus, as it was indeed exclusive and what not, but Ihsahn / Emperor is a LOT more well known here in the States. This booking could indeed pull in some fence sitters. Emperor did sell out most shows that one reunion tour they did a couple years ago, I believe.

But will it get YOU to ProgPower, Jason???:lol:
 
They did two. The second because Samoth couldn't get in the country (IIRC) for the first one.

Correct. They played shows in July of 2006 (NYC & LA) & in May/June of 2007 (NYC, LA, & Chicago). Samoth's visa for 2006 was approved after the dates had been completed. They came back the next year to perform with the full band & make more money on the Samoth-deprived from the year before.
 
Yeah, my PP appearance has nothing to do with the lineup.
Being blunt, I am not a black metal guy and never will be, so neither ARCTURUS or IHSAHN mean much to me personally.

I have had a couple EMPEROR discs through the years, though they never did much for me. I haven't heard IHSAHN solo so I can't comment.

But this assumes you can call 2 or 3 dates a tour.

Here is the definition of the word TOUR:
tour (tr)
n.
1. A trip with visits to various places of interest for business, pleasure, or instruction.


Therefore, 2 or 3 dates would be "various" places of interest for business.
Hence, EMPEROR were on tour.

To quote my Chicago Powerfest friends who love me dearly....
"STOP BEING A CUNT!!!"
 
I think a banner ad at metalreview.com could be a good idea. The reviewers almost unanimously loved After and they have a more open-minded audience than a lot of black metal boards.
 
1. douchebag
n.
1. Someone who has surpassed the levels of jerk and asshole, however not yet reached fucker or motherfucker. Not to be confuzed with douche.

CONFUSE
–verb (used with object), -fused, -fus·ing.

1. Spells with an S. Not a Z.
