Ihsahn
IHSAHN

 

80‐90点相当がでている

 

火曜サスペンス劇場が始まりそうな出だしもあり

壮大でポップなデスメタル、プログレ/ブラックメタルという感じ

 

 

その方面が好きでないと

これといった刺激も少なく、あまり響かないかな。

 

 

 

Though his de facto surname will forever be ‘From Emperor’, Ihsahn (From Emperor) has spent far more time and released far more records under his own banner than he did at the helm of the Norwegian black metal icons. It’s also true that the music he has made over his solo discography has gone to places far from anywhere Emperor did. Or, indeed would or could. When they ended after four immaculate records, they explained to Kerrang! that to continue writing under that name would dilute the essence of the band. They were moving too far away from it, they said, so to end it would be the best way to preserve it.

Appropriately, then, Ihsahn's self-titled eighth solo work is an exercise in creativity, loose boundaries, and incredible talent, all the while also expressing that its creator knows exactly who he is. That he's chosen to release it with a companion record of orchestral versions isn't just a service to the range of sounds within, but how high the standard of everything must be to pull it all off.
