I've been listening to Ihsahn's music since I was an angry sad and angry teen in the mid-90s. I'm knocking on 45 now and his music has changed perfectly to match my lifestyle, I don't want to say maturity, because, well, that's up for debate. People talk about bands evolving from being metal a lot, but I think Ihsahn is one of the few who does it well. He's never forgot his black metal roots, but there is so much more there now.

Emperor wasn't really a teenage angst band, well maybe for the first few demos. But anything Anthem and above is incredibly artsy and I would say "mature" already.

@MoonOvIce Yeah, I'm not really saying they were. More that I was and the music gave me comfort. I still listen to emperor often and love playing the riffs on guitar.

A lot of the old bands from his genre and others similar certainly have changed. Far fewer have evolved. The musical brilliance of artists like Ihsahn and Devin Townsend is difficult to overstate.

@@user-mt8gi2tv4o You are not the only one, who says it. But his way began, when he was 14 years only. For 40 years he made so many stuff, that its normal, when he was looking for new options in music. He can't be the same allways - it will be endless "I am the black wizards" for all those years. He is trying himself every place. But it's ok. Because everything he is doing is really great.

The production in this new album is next level. Sounds amazing.

Ihsahn is a genius!

Yet another masterpiece from this legend.

Atmospheric and cinematic, but I'm still waiting for an album in the vein of After

All song his does is fantastic. He's a genius the our generation... Saudations from Brasil 🤘

I don't know what these tags are but it's a bunch of my favourite bands. And a great song, looking really forward to the album.

Funny I was just thinking man, Devin Townsend and Ihsahn could come together to take heavy music to all new plateaus... then I noticed the #Devin! Amazing stuff, I can't wait for more.

Ihsahn is back with another piece of art, cheers!!!

this new record is 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Pure genius. Can't even put a genre to this... it's just prog.

That was nice of Satyr to appear in the video drinking his wine.

Pretty prog sounding. Great arrangements and I love the clean vocal melodies. Even the harsh black metal voice has cool pitch changes that work with the song.

2:34 - 3:39 (and Anima Extraneae, obviously) is probably my favorite Ihsahn's ever done. Absolutely incredible.

How dare I only discover this now 🤦‍♀️ I’m currently finishing up the book I wrote, editing it, but this song is tailor made in sound to mirror it perfectly, particularly my villain. If it was ever adapted to film and I had a soundtrack album, I would hope this would be one of them 😊

Beautiful!!!🤍

this song meaning hits me hard at the moment,the felling of isolation,with everything

Marvelous!

Este arte me mantiene vivo, el arte de músicos como Ihsahn le dan absoluto sentido a la existencia, ¿Si no existiera la música, que sentido habría?

Mikael Åkerfeldt and Ihsahn should get together for a project!

Bravo. I have been looking forward to the conclussion on this trilogy, and I the first time watching this one, I made sure to watch them all in order. Can't remember the last time a I have enjoyed a music video this much, and with this much anticipation.

A true Master of the Arts, Ihsahn brilliance is unrivaled !..! !..!

Love it!

Wow! This is great!

This one's my favorite so far!

This guy always kicks ass yo yeehaw!

Ihsaaaaaaaaaaaahn

One word: perfect!!!!

Masterpiece!!! Beautiful, intricate and emotionally deep, this music explores and touches upon such feelings and emotions I could not describe with words or understand with my mind! Ihsahn is a colossus in music, true artist! He conjures worlds that are dark, cold, tragic, introverted yet amazingly beautiful, full of hope and love. Ishahn had definitely received "the muses senseless kiss" !

Cheers Master 🍷

True musical genius at work again 🔥🔥🔥

Brilliant!

Amazing as usually!

wow!🔥🔥🔥🔥

LYRICS In the end, I fell numb To disbelief and played along Weaving and conceding I veiled the face of what I had become And the swarm remained oblivious Heedless to the distance between us The eyes of the night I still carried them inside (they were my guide) As I roamed the forest deep (on moonlit trails of blood) Dancing upon my return (panem et circenses) For those who were destined to burn (panem et circenses) I would nourish and cultivate Savor, encourage, and celebrate The distance between us Still, with every solitary feat, I also lost The nature of my tragic disposition had it's cost Never to belong, forever always one Never to belong, forever always one With every solitary feat, I also lost As I could never reach across (The distance between us)

If the name of the song and just a single line of lyric were the words, "out of place," it'd still have the same exact impact.

This album sounds like Ihsahn is about to produce his masterpiece. And we are talking about Ihsahn here!! Keep that in mind.

Hell yes. 💣

Is that Freyja? Awesome tune and video!

I once heard Ihsahn was black metal's Devin Townsend - it simply makes sense :D Jokes aside, he simply knows how to embrace the listener into his dark imagery without having to limit himself into the boundaries of what a certain music style 'need' to sound like. Amazing!

Wow this one took me places... It's really good.

3:44 is that Ihsahn at the top of the stairs?

I love you

❤❤❤❤❤

I was wondering if he becomes a Deer or the Wendigo. If the witch enchants this man with her magik and make him one with the forest and the wild animal. I can´t stop thinking about the Danza del Venado or the STAGMAN OF Hannibal series. The photographs and videos of deers make this album so GREAT, and once again we find out those norwegian forests "surrounded by majestic mountains" in the musical background of IHSAHN ("Beyond the great vast forest" Into the nightside eclipse album) Only this time is not about wolves but deers, witches and modern man. I love this track its one of my favorite. Deers and forests so powerful!

It's more of a metaphor, symbolism. Watch Pilgrimage to Oblivion and this one back to back. It's a journey, a concept. The main character IS the deer - always "out of place." Alcoholism is the escape. The forest is the high, the buzz, freedom, the city is forced real life. The witch, or wendigo as you mentioned is the alcohol, the magic. This video actually has cutscenes back and forth of his hand grasping a branch, fading to cityscape barred fence. The symbolism is pristine and flawless As so.eone struggling with alcohol, this series resonates with me. The true question in this mystery, is who is actual Ihsahn to this man, just a normal neighbor? Is Ihsahn the sober version of the mans wendigo? Just thoughts, that's how I perceived it anyway. But seriously Pilgrimage to Oblivion is literally part 1, this is part 2, I just crave a part 3 to finalize. Unless of course, the dying deer on a man made street, out of place, away from it's home, or never feeling at home IS the ending. If that's the conclusion to these conceptual videos I can accept that, bc that's basically what it is. What life is.

que hombre

These first two songs are very promising.

Ihsahn trilogy is better and better- and on the end will be new album, looking forward to ! But still, Pilgrimage to Oblivion is THE BEST and when I saw and heard it on the monster UHD TV at my friend and with such a volume that the house shook to its foundations and we survived, for me is part one of trilogy unique.

Ihsahn Reveries......

Is that actor the same guy from the peccatum video the moribund people he seems to play ihsahns alter ego in his videos just a guess I'm not sure it kinda looks similar to the guy in this video
