Still killing it Tris! Not on the gram anymore so not been seeing many updates, but glad you’re still on it and interviewing the boss himself 🖤
You knocked it out of the park on this interview my friend. I'm so excited to hear this album. Fascinating to hear Isahn's take on the creative process and his thoughts on the soundtrack genre. 10/10
Thanks so much Steve! I thought that you might be a fan of this one. Definitely a big time prog album this one haha! I was really chuffed after getting off the call for this one. I've spoken to Ihsahn before but this was great, nerding out about soundtracks especially - as you know I'm a huge fan haha! Thanks for always checking the videos out dude
Thanks for the great interview. I admire him since I discovered Anthems when I was 17. I have every record he made or was a part of. This last one is definitely one of the greatest things he's done
Hey there Dave, sorry that it took me a long time to get back to you but thank you so much for the kind words. I'm glad that you enjoyed the interview, it was a really great chat and Ihsahn is a great artist - I really do think that this new record is up there with some of the finest work that he has created.
Truly amazing stuff - thanks again for the support and glad that you enjoyed the interview!
Great interview !!
Thanks so much Adriana, appreciate you taking the time to check out the video and hope you enjoy the album too!
Hell yeah, Ihsahn. Really excited to dig into this album.
Hey there Chris! That's really awesome to hear, I think that you will really enjoy this record. It's without a doubt one of the standout releases I think that we'll hear this year. Really excited to hear what you think of it and thanks for checking out the video!
Amazing interview. Like that is black and white
Thanks so much Hector! It was a real fun one to do this one. I've been a fan of Ihsahn for a good long while and I think that you will really love the record too. I would imagine that you'll review it as well?
@@TheMetalTris I think I will review this one with Señorita Sabrosura
Will dive into this tomorrow. Tonight is Frozen Soul at the Underworld. Very cool that is black and white. Can’t wait to watch it.
Brilliant interview mate. Loved the insights about the album from you and how you drew different elements from Ihsahn. He is an absolute genius and what a privilege to interview him. Such a large figure in my musical life. I’ve loved hearing and reviewing the album. It’s an absolute masterpiece. Look forward to your review of the album. Keep up the great work.
Thanks so much for the kind words here mate. Really appreciate it, at the end of the day I just love a good conversation and when you've got someone as brilliant as Ihsahn in the hot seat it does make like all that much easier haha! I'll make sure to find some time for your review man! @@HotelHobbies
