Ihsahn is the best metal frontman. The endurance, stamina, presence, professionalism and musicality on his performance is all 100%. Great love for this man!
Looks like flesh to me
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.
Wherever Ishan goes, he’s the coolest person there.
Was very lucky to see Emperor this year.... Ihsahn's stage presence is just so unbelievably cool and is an incredible musician
what a legend, so incredibly levelheaded and humble despite having achieved so much.
Emperor best black metal band ever , looking forward to seeing them live next march in Dublin
I can't wait brother...see ya there.!! 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪
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.
I see Ihsahn finally listened to Fenriz and got some bigger sunglasses.
If you are interested, the band whose opener set he mentioned being cut short because of too much self harm was Enochian Crescent.
Thanks for the info! 😊👍
Indeed. Wrath and Victor mention the situation on Loputon Gehennan Liekki (Eternal Flame of Gehenna).
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.
Great interview, Ihsahn is a Legend !..! !..!
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 😜👏👏👍🙋🏻♂️
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!
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.
Thank You for that decent interview! Like the range of questions.
Thanks! 🤟
Such a gentleman.
good questions, good answers, thank you for this very good interview, Chaoszine and Ihsahn
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.
Legendary band. All hail Emperor! Fucking King diamond shirt too
So weird seeing a normal dude from my hometown be that big! Super nice guy!
He is very down to earth. We talked about music for an hour after interview and he had no hurry to leave anywhere. Cool guy.
@@chaoszine absolutely! Met him lots on our local grocery store, such a nice guy to talk to!
@@TheDevineGamerWhere do you live?
Norway :) @@katilpatates290
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
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 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!
We talked like 45 mins more after interview about influences etc. Such a cool and down to earth guy!
@@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.
Notodden er så fint sted og kudos til folket der som støtter musikere på deres reise.
Still Hope for a new Emperor Album
Never going to happen..Not in this life time 😂
@@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.
@@HeathenDance i hate the recording 😁 though i love the songs
@@dhulkhalasa_More of a reason. It would reach more people that don't process the crude original press.
@@HeathenDance i dont like too polished recording either.. just make it like ix equilibrium..and thats fine for me 🤘
I really liked the pre Emperor Death Metal band 'Thou Shalt Suffer' you can hear the foundation for Emperor. Great interview 👍
I was There in tavastia club -97. Great gig.
Wise words. Ihsahn is a legend 🤘
Well executed Ihsahn,love the bracelet,Hailsz Always For Quorthon❤!
The support band he mentions for the Helsinki show was Enochian Crescent, I believe.
Yes it is mentioned below also in the comments.
One of the most talented and sympathetic musicians ever.
My first metal was black sabbath 12 years old it changed my whole life then I was given master of puppets and slayer south of heaven
....when I heard slayer I stayed with metal the rest of my life
My favourite band ever and my favourite musician
thank u for signing the setlist bro much love
Ihsahn is a legend!
Hell yea, nice one 👍
I seriously idolize this man and his music ! Celestial violence its the song I want at my funeral!
Ihsahn, my fellow Libra. One of the best musicians to ever cross the metal scene.
@Robert Wallace wtf are you to care about sign, teenage girls?
The true Emperor 🤘🤘🤘
They put on an insanely good concert
❤️ Ihsahn
The one and only!☝Legend
King Diamond!
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.
In the Nightside Eclipse still can’t be touched.
🤘
Fuck yes!!!
The screams on a fine day to day are even better than quorthons imo
Never heard of ya but good getting to know ya good luck
Check out his solo work.
1:14 Ihsahn also played the violin?
To those interested in accents/languages: the interviewer is Finnish, Ihsahn Norwegian. 😊
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.
an activism band? do you remember who their original drummer was? 😂
Yeah, a Black Metal concept album about recycling surely would be awesome..
>Technical and complicated
>Not even Darkthrone can match his atmosphere
mfs are in the Impaled Northern Moonforest rn.
Play one of his riffs or do better dont talk to me i dont care that you exist
@@KnjazNazrath
Ensalved si better
kova äijä
Come with a new Emperor album. Without it you're nothing!!!
Wow. No tattooes?
18:00 did Ihsahn fart?
worst guitarist becomes a bassist jaja story of my life
🤣🤣
Word of advice, interviewer
STOP starting EVERY question with 'So', it's very annoying to listen to. Thank you!
English isn't his first language, cut him some slack.
...and shave the beard, please!
Мы их в России 3 года ждали и они не приехали!!!В политику скатились к сожалению
Maybe Vlad shouldn't have invaded Ukraine.
Ого))), возможно НАТО не стоило подходить к границам с Россией и не устраивать в соседних странах гос. перевороты, не поощрять на украине нацизм и еще много чего)))) Разберись с причинами а потом рот открывай. Политик херов))))@@Mitch93
