Well, I've been divided with the three first albums. But "Eremita" is the one I was waiting for so long ! Ihsahn is a melomaniac genius, a visionaire...
I've enjoyed all of Ihsahn's albums and listening to his progressive style. Although I do find a few songs especially on the first two albums to be a bit bland at times. Still, one of my favorite guitarists of all time and being an extended range guitar player myself I was thrilled to hear when he started using 7 and 8 string guitars.
For me the problem of the first and second albums is that they seem to be like an hommage to his gods in music. The third album is more personal but we can still hear some Opeth influences (as on "Unhealer"... I agree with you !). "Eremita" is finally a totaly personal album, and this is a real masterpiece. I understand what you mean concerning the guest-vocals. But you must admit that the intervention of Heidi on "Departure" is so beautiful... reminds me the beautiful Peccatum days...
He's used 7-strings since the Emperor album "Prometheus - The Discipline of Fire & Demise" which was released in 2001. He may have used it before that also, but that is not to my knowledge. Now it is completely normal to use a 7 string, but back then it was still kind of a niché thing.
Well, I think it's time to move on and let Emperor in the past. Despite this, I understand your will. And according to myself, I had the chance to see Emperor live on stage...
Je suis tout à fait d'accord! Ihsahn nous a démontré sa maestria et sa maîtrise dans tous les domaines.
Ihsahn is one of my idols, I love anything he does musically \m/
he's the most classy looking black metal guy ever
Love that Solo, such an amazing song! Ihsahn is a musical genius!
+Liam Seven Yes I agree!

Yes, and there were excellent shows !
Wow song sounds almost exactly like the studio version, that's some incredible musicianship right there.
Totally. Ihsahn is incredible, even if the last two albums from him are pretty "cold" (in te bad way) to me.
I can't watch this with a straight face thanks to Einar's fucking headbanging skills
You know what it is good at hear!!!
Too much awesomeness to handle.
Un génie, tout simplement
C'est ça, tout est dit !
A true master of extreme metal... still...

Einar Solberg (Leprous singer and keyboard player) is Ihsahn's wife's brother.
I didn't know that. Thanks for the information !
Lord Ihsahn Outplaying the fucking world!

We sure do !!!

Yes, you're right.
I agree with you !
well i never had the chance, i was too young that time.
Actually, all the guys that you see on the video are Leprous members.
the keyboardist swept it all away with the dreads
Leprous + Ihsahn = Fucking too much.

Almost as the Akercocke guys !
I don't know. But for sure they are in the same mood musically speaking.
And Einar played keyboards during the Emperor reunion shows.
am i really the first view, like, and comment? this must be sorcery
You've a good ear. I like that !
when i see this, i want emperor to reunion so bad... :-(
"That guy" Dam, that ain't just some guy dude, check out his band Leprous
Why "too much"?
Did someone bring their goat to the concert? @ 0:34
Hé hé... no, but I was in the back of the pit !
Ok ! I understood exactly the opposite...
That guy with the dreads is really distracting, it looks like Ihsahn is going to get whipped in the eye
I'm sorry for you ! If you like Emperor, I'll send you the link to beautiful videos from mine by private message...
8-string, actually.
oh definitely not, no. magic is pretty hard to come by usually
