@chaoszine you should get @annekevangiersbergen Nisse Karlen(SACRAMENTUM) Legion [ex marduk] Luc Lemay (gorguts) 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
Awesome artist. I hold a special place in my heart for Emperor, it brings me back to my teenage times of tape trading and bootleg chasing, discovering these "new" obscure underground bands was a delight. For me Ihsahn is to Black Metal what Schuldiner is to Death Metal, both brilliant artists that became masters of their craft. Cheers from Morocco.
Ihsahn is the best metal frontman. The endurance, stamina, presence, professionalism and musicality on his performance is all 100%. Great love for this man!

Wherever Ishan goes, he’s the coolest person there.
I see Ihsahn finally listened to Fenriz and got some bigger sunglasses.
Was very lucky to see Emperor this year.... Ihsahn's stage presence is just so unbelievably cool and is an incredible musician
Emperor best black metal band ever , looking forward to seeing them live next march in Dublin

Great interview, Ihsahn is a Legend !..! !..!

Thanks! 🤟
Such a gentleman.
Absolutely a nice intelligent fellow, no poser although being a legend..quiet guy. Quorthon was great and is immortal for metalists just right because of that what Ihsahn shows here. Clever gentle man then you went on stage and frighten those who are not aware of black metal frontman. Extreme in purity. Once gentle, twice the wild hog 😜👏👏👍🙋🏻♂️
good questions, good answers, thank you for this very good interview, Chaoszine and Ihsahn
It's nice to hear Ihsahn talk about David and Morbid Angel. Morbid Angel's song, Chapel of Ghouls, has a section that sounds like it could have been on In the Nightside Eclipse.
Wise words. Ihsahn is a legend 🤘
If you are interested, the band whose opener set he mentioned being cut short because of too much self harm was Enochian Crescent.

Also Emperor was touring Anthems to the Welkin at Dusk at the time but the record hadn't actually reached Finnish record stores yet, so all in all quite a bizarre evening of blood and unheard songs.

I was there at Tavastia 97 as a 16 year old chap. Still one the best shows i've seen.
One of my favorite musicians. Such a dense a toolbox. His music simply fits whatever his vision is and is never beholden to a genre.
Notodden er så fint sted og kudos til folket der som støtter musikere på deres reise.
Great questions! It is quite rare to see/hear interviewers ask about the voice, tecnique etc. They usually focus on the instruments. There are many singers/vocalists out there that would love to hear more about this for sure :) (Me included) Thank you!
thank u for signing the setlist bro much love
Legendary band. All hail Emperor! Fucking King diamond shirt too
Still Hope for a new Emperor Album

@@dhulkhalasa_True. I do think it would be cool if they re-recorded the first album. Don't get me wrong, I love how the original sounds, but they have played it live, all songs, so often, in the last 20 years, that a studio modern release would fit like a glove.

I had first heard of Ihsahn and Emperor through his connections with Leprous and their vocalist (and his half-brother) Einar Solberg. Great interview; he seems like a chill guy.
Hell yea, nice one 👍
I really liked the pre Emperor Death Metal band 'Thou Shalt Suffer' you can hear the foundation for Emperor. Great interview 👍
Well executed Ihsahn,love the bracelet,Hailsz Always For Quorthon❤!
I was There in tavastia club -97. Great gig.
Oh the early days of black metal, I remember getting a tape of Hordanes Land split with Enslaved. I would smoke a huge bowl and just get lost in the sound. This unlocked music for me
So cool to hear more about Ihsahn; great interview. I saw him at Graspop in 2015 and had a little talk (like 20 seconds haha) after the show. One of my bigggest inspirations to create music. Prometheus is a masterpice!

@@chaoszineIs he a prog addict? I would like to know, he said on this interview that he loves classic heavy metal and extreme metals, but I think he could love 70's prog just Grutle, Ivar and Mikael Akerfeldt do, at least in my opinion.
One of the most talented and sympathetic musicians ever.
My favourite band ever and my favourite musician
The one and only!☝Legend
I know most people prefer the sound and feel of the original album recordings but, the Live Inferno reunion album is how Emperor actually sounds. It doesn't get much more powerful than that. The studio album productions never did them justice.

I agree. I wish the early albums had more of Ihsahn's guitar toward the front of the mix. Samoth's guitar lines are also great, but they overpower Ihsahn's guitar a lot of the time.
So weird seeing a normal dude from my hometown be that big! Super nice guy!

The true magic is that their whole career to date is based on albums recorded in the past century. And that's not bad, very few musicians ever achieve that.
I seriously idolize this man and his music ! Celestial violence its the song I want at my funeral!
In the Nightside Eclipse still can’t be touched.
The screams on a fine day to day are even better than quorthons imo
1:14 Ihsahn also played the violin?
Never heard of ya but good getting to know ya good luck

David vincent looks like ted nugent in that clip
Nice to hear from Ricky Gervais again..
He writes the most sophisticated black metal of all the other Norse /black metal bands, just the composition and atmosphere, its chaotic, classical and original. .Unless you're a Musican you won't fully appreciate the technicality and how his black metal is not primitive and is the most musical. He even matured about all that satanic crap, which not many in his genre realise (unless its too late). Look, he practically invented the highest standard in black metal, no one writes riffs as technical or as complicated. Not even Darkthrone can match his atmosphere. Sorry. He did the best work in the genre. Its no surprise that Iron Maiden/twisted sister influenced his approach. Melody and balls. Sums up Emperor too (haha). If only they can make black metal with decent themes in it like Wolves in the throne room (about the environment ) do, ISHAN, would clean up if he did an activism band, he has that vibe about him.
