Kirjoittanut Konsta Hietaniemi - 16.11.2023

Norjalainen sooloartisti ja multi-instrumentalisti Ihsahn on julkaisemassa seuraavan ”Ihsahn”-nimisen sooloalbuminsa helmikuun 16. päivä Candlelight Recordsin kautta. Ihsahnin tuleva albumi tulee sisältämään perinteisen albumin version lisäksi myös orkestraalisen version albumista. Tulevalta albumilta on nyt julkaistu kuunneltavaksi ensimmäisenä singlenä raskaampi kappale ”Pilgrimage of Oblivion”, josta Ihsahn kertoo seuraavaa:

”Pilgrimage To Oblivion serves as a rather immediate introduction to the overarching musical and conceptual aspects of the album, Ihsahn explains.. The lyrics go directly into the storyline and the video is the first in a sequel of videos portraying the whole story.

”On average, I´ve been releasing a full-length album every second year since I was 16. And, you know, that has given me some opportunity to explore different options, so for my eighth full-length solo record, I thought, ‘okay, how can I do what I do best, but also raise the bar tenfold? At the heart of what I do is black metal, extreme distorted guitars and screaming, but since the earliest Emperor recordings you’ll hear the keyboard parts influenced by classic soundtracks by the likes of Jerry Goldsmith, John Williams, Bernard Herrmann, John Carpenter and so on.

”So, I approached the writing with the intent to present the material in its full-blown metal expression, but also to arrange the orchestral parts in such a way that they would work independently. Somehow an attempt to write a soundtrack within the structures of the full production, allowing me to explore different, and sometimes contrasting, variations of essentially the same music. In the end I wrote all the music as a piano short-score and arranged it for a typical band ensemble and orchestra, accordingly, making sure everything interlocked.”
