@@Shikigamifuneral758 Zero fuckin shot. Prometheus sounds VERY different from any of his solo stuff I've heard. Some of those harmonies and progressions and riffing styles are completely unique and I've heard NOBODY replicate them
This track has a serious Emperor vibe! Or, maybe, just classic Ihsahn. The orchestration, the building tension, the strings, the jarring, "horror movie" sound of it all ... definitely Ihsahn!! Thank you! I really needed to hear this.
Vegard Sverre is one of the best composers, producers and musicians currently in the metal field, maintaining the somber heritage as well as the modern touch that the music requires. Ihsahn is part of the heritage of humanity and existence.
This really feels like Ihsahn is coming full circle... As if his artistic vision that he had for Emperor now can finally be fully realised, because he made all those solo albums that helped him grow as an artist. I love seeing that the album will be self-titled! As if saying, "this is my true self, my purest artistic output yet". I'm beyond stoked!!!
Symphonic black metal. In a way this feels like the result of all those excursions into prog metal. Messing with synths, clean vocals and a god damn saxophone. All to go ahead and create this.
So I read that this is a concept album. I'm at the edge of my seat to know where Ihsahn is going with this. He's a remarkable musician, no doubt, but everyone here, so far, has said all the things about him that I also feel about his creations.
in my opinion this is one the Ihsahn's tracks that represents - in the best way possible - Ihsahn's style of writing... it has the dynamic, orchestration, calms, climax, wall of sound, busy snare parts, black metaly segments... it seems it would be a piece to remember!!
Wow amazing sounds a bit similar to Emperor but different the orchestral parts are amazing ,Ihsahn is differently a musical genius this song is perfect in every way can't wait for more of this!!
@@BleedingSunn it's just fkn weak! Low calibre for such a nearly infallible Artist. Video seems beneath the track. Far beneath. It's boring, it looks ugly and I don't want to see it again. And am I required to like the intro? Or the video? As always? That seems like poseur talk, from a poseur mentality! 🤷♂️ go have a snack poseur.
Brilliant! The intro reminds me of Jerry Goldsmith/First Blood. Love the orchestral composition as well. I cannot wait to hear the full album as Ihsahn never disappoints!!
2:02 on the video, Ihsahn walks by the steps next to the protagonist. Just brilliant! As Alfred Hitchcock did on his movies, a "random" guy passing on the screen. Here, probably, excuse my personal interpretation, as an archetypical awakening of the inner self. Thank YOU Ihsahn for this piece of ART! An admirer from Greece, since the very early days in the 90's.
It sounds like a new song of Emperor, i mean the song is closer to the style of Emperor music and songs so it's good news for me, don't get me wrong, i love everything Ihsahn done in his solo career, the last EP's of Ihsahn were really good so i'm hoping that the upcoming album will be a strong effort, thanks and cheers!!!
With the sweet taste of wine on my lips And a pale skull filled with vision Desires transformed to compulsion My being, by fire, transfixed I was bound for the marshlands For bridges to cross and to burn For treacherous paths of no return A destiny held in my hands And there, where the roots of existence Existence Breached through the cracks of illusion The concepts of consequence ceased And primordial chaos reigned Besieged by the towering mountains And beckoning forest deep I stood on the threshold of rapture Alone, amongst the untamed Wallowing in secrecy And dark, enticing lies Those ghostly smiles could not conceal The ruin in their eyes Pilgrimage to oblivion Rampage unleashed in the night I was lost in the trenches of a dream And over a clamour of laughter and death Echoed the Maenads' scream Pilgrimage Pilgrimage Pilgrimage To oblivion
Because going to work is the most black metal thing most Emperor fans can do at our age.
And he eats after brushing his teeth :O
Blood sacrifice of life force in exchange for financial gain, sacrificing ones worth for freedom. I'd say it is.
The orchestral elements in this are 😍
Yeah, love that Disney feel in my Metal 🤢
@@Nicolas.Vincent That's alright - it takes a more cultured and diverse ear to appreciate a multitude of instruments...
@@Nicolas.Vincentyes, it's when you really can listen to music and , not thinking, what genre it is😉 Just enjoy the music.
But ain't it great?😊
@@CarlReijer-lk2ntyou
As much I would love another Emperor album, but Ihsahn is always full of surprises. Love it, can't wait for February.
Emperor's final album, in practical terms, is already a Ihsahn album.
A new emperor would just sound like ihsahn anyway bc the last emperor album does
AFAIAC this is basically a new Emperor album Prometheus already set the standard that Ihsahn can write a whole Emperor album
@@Shikigamifuneral758 Zero fuckin shot. Prometheus sounds VERY different from any of his solo stuff I've heard. Some of those harmonies and progressions and riffing styles are completely unique and I've heard NOBODY replicate them
I think a new Emperor album would sound something like this. The question is what Trym and Samoth would bring to the table.
This is exactly why Ihsahn is one of the most important contemporary song writers. Can't wait for more.

Ihsahn is definitely a unique artist, whatever he does I know that will be amazing, and I'm here for it!!!

Ihsahn never fails to give us 100%, I adore him! This new music is pure perfection, intense and sumptuous, can’t wait for February 🖤🖤🖤
I'm hearing a Diabolical Masquerade vibe in this one!! Really nice!! Ihsahn's screams sound the best I've heard them since Anthems!! Bravo!
One of my favorite musicians of all time. His voice is what I imagine a draugr would sound like.
Got this on repeat, anything this complex requires percolation!
Also, thanks for performing in NZ with Emperor earlier this year! Best show of my life
This song is going to remain a towering monument for years and years.
this sounds like Emperor, more than the other work Ihsahn has made - very happy about it!
Ihsahn is always forward thinking and progressive in his musical style. One of my biggest influences.
What on earth have I just listened to, Ihsahn's best song ever?! 🖤
neh, that is A Grave Inversed :D
😬
@@ChristianSopa Well, I won't disagree with you! :))
Symphonic black metal.

Wow, sounds a lot like Emperor. I love it!
Not really
Golly gee, I wonder why that may be.
I had to listen to Emperor's "An Elegy of Icaros" after this. Ihsahn is a musical god
So I read that this is a concept album. I'm at the edge of my seat to know where Ihsahn is going with this. He's a remarkable musician, no doubt, but everyone here, so far, has said all the things about him that I also feel about his creations.

Isahns voice is so pleasantly sick and evil...and always compliments his style of music so perfectly.
A new Ihsahn release is always a great pleasure!
Now THIS is a pleasant surprise!
This sounds a little bit like a lost Emperor track. Pretty cool.
Great track, a good mix of experimenting, orchest symphonies, progressive, aggressiveness; I love it. Ihsahn is unique on his own style.
Wow amazing sounds a bit similar to Emperor but different the orchestral parts are amazing ,Ihsahn is differently a musical genius this song is perfect in every way can't wait for more of this!!
No they aren't.
@@Nicolas.Vincenthave some bad mood today?😅 Feel sorry for you.
Be simpler...
Ihsahn is great as always.

@@eien.8 Troll, eh? Great content you're hosting!
👏 👏 👏
Whatever Ihsahn touches, he turns it into gold.
this is what i like about you Ihsahn, you understand 'change' yet you're still you.
New music from Ihsahn ! What the soul needs ! Awesome !!
This is the closest thing to Emperor than anything he's made since late 2000's. Absolute fucking banger in other words.
this is already my album of the year for 2024, and it hasn't even come out yet....
I think this video was filmed in London amazing!!!
Yep. You can see the millennium dome or whatever its called now from the apartment
@@eon14873the O2 arena
This really brings me back to early Emperor ,then embellished with experience and further darkness. Hail the night serpent
New music from Ihsahn is always a pleasure!! Great track!!❤️
I'm mad I only just found out about this, but I'm happier that we've got some new Ihsahn on the way!!
More classy output from Ihsahn. Never disappoints... 🤘🙂👍
this orchestral sounds is a mix between Star Wars and Matrix Revolutions . This is so PERFECT !
HOLY SHIT!
This hit the spot.
He sounds like he's back in Emperor.
This has me very interested
Brilliant! The intro reminds me of Jerry Goldsmith/First Blood. Love the orchestral composition as well. I cannot wait to hear the full album as Ihsahn never disappoints!!
Been listening to this for years now, it never gets old.
I love that orchestra breakdown. Hard AF
This is a very good tune.
Definitely touching on some of the sounds of Emperor.
Good to hear.
I believe Ihsahn makes a cameo appearance going up the staircase in this.
After still remains as my favorite album of all time, so I'm pretty hyped for this.
Slowly Ihsahn is returning to the style of his first two solo albums with a little touch of the last two EMPEROR albums.
Best release 2023 by far, thank you!!!!
Ihsahn is delivering the good sauce as always 🤘🏻🤘🏻🥳🤘🏻🤘🏻
WOW. This song is incredible. Can't wait for the full record!
still listening to it 6 and a half months later, those suspense vibes are awesome!

Excellent spot! Had to double check. Great comparison to Hitchcock too!
A little bit like 'Prometheus' era. Great!
Just what I needed this morning! Can't wait for the release.

Wow I love the tension of this song. Great stuff.
A great pleasure to listen to your work 🤘🏻🇳🇴
Master of the Black Metal
With the sweet taste of wine on my lips
And a pale skull filled with vision
Desires transformed to compulsion
My being, by fire, transfixed
I was bound for the marshlands
For bridges to cross and to burn
For treacherous paths of no return
A destiny held in my hands
And there, where the roots of existence
Existence
Breached through the cracks of illusion
The concepts of consequence ceased
And primordial chaos reigned
Besieged by the towering mountains
And beckoning forest deep
I stood on the threshold of rapture
Alone, amongst the untamed
Wallowing in secrecy
And dark, enticing lies
Those ghostly smiles could not conceal
The ruin in their eyes
Pilgrimage to oblivion
Rampage unleashed in the night
I was lost in the trenches of a dream
And over a clamour of laughter and death
Echoed the Maenads' scream
Pilgrimage
Pilgrimage
Pilgrimage
To oblivion
YES new Ihsahn 😍this song sounds so good!
music to menacingly make toast to
This is metal perfection.
This is like the Bohemian Rhapsody of black metal 🔥
That's a bold statement
Amazing! Don't know what else to say... Truly amazing!
Brilliant! This summer I've seen Emperor in Helsinki and now I hear new "Emperor". Amazing song!!!
Me encanto!! espero con ansias el nuevo álbum
The video editing is insane. It really makes you feel unsettled.
Brilliant as always!
Another awesome Ihsahn song, this man never fails! It was cool to see a surprise appearance of The O2 arena and some of London in the video as well.
NEW Ihsahn is the best way to wake on a Thorsday🤘🏼
I think i need a pilgrimage to oblivion...
Amazing...great song!!!
Out of the magical Norse darkness he returns!!!!
Amazing! I had chills the entire song!
February is a long ways away!!!! This is fire and I can't wait for the pair of releases. Thank you. Please consider touring in Seattle.
Sophisticated as always. 🖤
This is just so great! Very menacing! Dammit Vegard ❤❤❤🎉🎉
Amazing!
Glad to hear you, Vegard!❤
Perfect job uncle Ihsahn!
Absolutely Terrific ! 🔥
Awesome, North America tour with lots of shows
Awesome!!!! 🤘
Everything he creates is sheer brilliance 🤘🏻
Magnificent! The master at work 🤘.
Awesome
Great!
Yes!!! Thank god!!! It's metal!!!!
YEEEEEESSSSSSSSS
yes please. more !
Even butter on bread is looking so evil
Ihsahn never dissapoints.
This is nothing compared to Ihsahn's older music. NOTHING.
It's so tragic my heart literally aches listening to this...
Work of genius!
The story of a man who only needs a friend to do fun stuff
Ooof dude took everything right in. Scary good
Masterpiece of Art
This song has Duende and listening to it is a mind altering affair, thanks for it!
Greetings from the Czech Republic
Exquisite!
This and going to be on coffee with ola cant wait for a long interview
This is masterpiece. I love it.
