No musician in my entire collection has taken me on a more rewarding journey than this guy. It's like he has a window into my mind and just knows my tastes better than I do. It's weird when you create music but you can't create music you like as well as another person can.
This music is divine... Ihsahn is what every artist should aspire to be: someone who, for every song or word he creates, goes a step further into magnificence. This is in my opinion his peak. Also congrats for giving the artwork such honor, it is beautiful and it deserves it all.
@@Ganjamancer Not at all Bullcrap. The last few albums of Opeth have been highly criticized and deservedly so. Sure it's about opinions, but there's a very real consensus that their quality had decreased. Personally I thing In Cauda Venenum is the best album they've put out in a while, but it's still not the same quality that that band used to put out before Heritage.
Ain't that the truth hahaha. This sounds sort of damnation style Opeth, which I loved. I do like some songs of the newer albums but that whole mesmerizing, nostalgic, somber feeling from damnation is not so prevalent in their new work.
I think it sounds a bit more like leprous, which would make a bit more sense considering that he was involved in some of their earlier stuff and Einar (vocalist from leprous) is his brother in law. But I do definitely hear a bit of opeth
Not just me, very FF sounding. When you think about it though final fantasy's soundtracks have always been guitar matched with symphonic. The piano reminds me of the music in Cave dungeons like FFXV
Waow. Just fucking waow. Parts remind me of Steven Wilson, parts Lantlôs, parts Nick Drake, parts modern Fleshgod Apocalypse, parts Dev's newer stuff. What's happening up there in Norway?
Lyrics: Fate Ephemeral bursts of light Sweep across the sky A pulsar in the night Painting dreams and loss Across a sea of hope and lies Silent screams Echo through your eyes It's what you have longed for What you could become Pharos Pharos Pharos Pain Like a fragile fading map It carving out the lies Seeking contours in the black It's what you have longed for (longed for) What you have become (have become) So keep alight the fire (fire) Even when the light is gone Pharos it's what you have longed for (Pharos) what you have become (Pharos) keep alight the fire (Pharos) when the light is gone
This is what you write when you love art more than money. Ihsahn cannot be touched.
No one's gonna talk about the painter? I will. He's some shizzle.
It's Costin man, he's getting some exposure these days...

Ihsahn is versatile, and it makes him a 'complete' musician.

Magnificent, nocturnal, retro, a bit jazzy and with a british touch...love it and I love the old black metal work of Ihsahn. Cheers from Morocco.
He is the Emperor of metal!!
People of all the regions of the world, unite for one talented artist.
absolutely sounds like opeth crossed with ghost. fucking love it
This is some incredible song-writing. The dynamic shifts are perfect!
I could say the same thing about your music! I've been jamming out to Colors in the Sun since it came out last year
What a good surprise!
Truly epic and vivid. Another Masterpiece from the wizard of Telemark!
Abilities are endless as well as the musical rollercoaster he takes you on
For me is a wonderful song and album... I always found great those surprises... Hails from Bogotá, Colombia 🤘🤘🤘
Ihsahn tiene que venir a Colombia, no solo con Emperor si no también a tocar canciones de su repertorio solista.
lml
the later works of Ihsann and Enslaved are the most interesting thing that extreme music has seen in the last decades
a breakthrough in mixing and producing
Greetings from Nepal. ❤️
me gusta la evolucion de ihsahn... de verdad que son de las mejores composiciones que he escuchado este año.
Thing I want to hear is a collab between Ihsahn and Ulver.
this guy is a genius
What so powerful prog evolution! Ihsahn reminds me of what efficient and minded musical composition is
This song should be James Bond theme song.
It's different... but it sounds great.
Yea...it's sounds ike Opeth
@@deamon2107 Opeth doesn't put out good music like this anymore.
@@drowssapma sad but true

@@drowssapma Their most recent album sounds sonically identical to this, with better vocals.
Magnificent track 🔥
I have just stumbled on this channel. I am honestly amazed!!! Ive never heard music like this before my mind is blown🤩🤩🤩
Welcome, welcome :3
Beautiful 😯 my first Ihnsahn song to hear, it is so great!
This is more Opeth than Opeth
Ain't that the truth hahaha. This sounds sort of damnation style Opeth, which I loved. I do like some songs of the newer albums but that whole mesmerizing, nostalgic, somber feeling from damnation is not so prevalent in their new work.
this sounds a lot more like Katatonia
sound like ghost
sounds like stevie ray vaughn
It's more Pink Floyd than Opeth or Opeth.
Stunning song.
What a banger \../
OMG is beautiful
thanks Ihsahn
amazing work
damn how i love this song!
Grandioso...maravilloso...brillante....una pieza maestra....🤘🏻
Beautiful
So beautiful 😳
Majestic Tendernesssssssss
that's very beautiful and video fits the song perfectly
Always Epic my master 🤘
!!!!!!! Amazing
Mesmerised by the song and the video
amazing
Artístico 🖤🔥
Só uma curiosidade Seria um álbum conceitual também?
Beautiful! Innovative, original. I like it. :)
Great that is new styl by ihsahn i like it
Another masterpiece
facepalm
Awesome... Mannn the musicality is insane.... 🙃
me encante sonido este tema
🎧▶🎶✨
This EP is great so far , we just need to hear the Portishead cover
Michael Jackson's cover soon
@@lommalos I wouldn't be surprised , or Prince
What Portishead song did he cover?
@@TheHrondon48 Roads
@@ar156 Shit... I wanna hear that, I love that song.
everyone mentioned opeth.. wch is not inaccurate.... bt more than opeth... Leprous has this same vibe.. wch is Ihsahn bro in law band
Dude it sounds like Pink Floyd with some heavier twists.
💙💙💙💙💙💙
I know I'm not the first one to notice but it is uncanny how the track sounds like it's been taken straight out of Opeth's repertoire.
I think it sounds a bit more like leprous, which would make a bit more sense considering that he was involved in some of their earlier stuff and Einar (vocalist from leprous) is his brother in law. But I do definitely hear a bit of opeth
Awesome
Nice job opethsahn
Wow.
great
This album is killing me.
I'll call it. Ihsahn is a Norwegian Devin Townsend. With, dare I say, similar musical career paths.
Nice
Opeth feel
Opeth feeling. Very opeth
Sounds very Opetish, and I like it.
My new lullaby🤘🏻
🧠👏🖤🤘😉
I like the bit where they say Pharos.
Now go into emperor vocals...So Funny, such a beautiful soft spoken Norse voice...UNTIL......THUS SPOKE THE NIGHT SPIRIT...
Anyone else getting the radiohead reference or am I just imagining it?
Lanltôs vibes
Wow,What an influence from opeth
Man i hear a JRPG in the guitar, i dunno which one though. Either FF6, Chrono Trigger or something else.
Not just me, very FF sounding.
When you think about it though final fantasy's soundtracks have always been guitar matched with symphonic.
The piano reminds me of the music in Cave dungeons like FFXV
Isn’t the piano tune also used similarly in the Freaky Fred episode of courage the cowardly dog?
very nice song ! it has Ghost + Opeth inspirations... Love the painting.
no.... def progressive.. opeth is accurate.. bt.. not ghost.. lol
Not my cup of tea, but I do like the bombastic section at the end.
Brilliant. You should do a song with Michael from Opeth
He already did. Check out "Unhealer".
@@Slayer78 thank you so much, I'm an old Emperor fan, who is just now giving his solo work a listen.
From the álbum angL. (2008)
Waow. Just fucking waow. Parts remind me of Steven Wilson, parts Lantlôs, parts Nick Drake, parts modern Fleshgod Apocalypse, parts Dev's newer stuff. What's happening up there in Norway?
first!
A-ha take on me?
Reminds Steven Wilson a little)
who is the painter
Costin Chioreanu, the same who does Vulture Industries and Borknagar (Up North) videos, very talented artist
@@BlackChouca his art out of my dictionary to describe very talneted
37 people are incorrect
Opeth and Devin Townsend had a Norwegian lovechild?
Spot-on description.
Lyrics:
Fate
Ephemeral bursts of light
Sweep across the sky
A pulsar in the night
Painting dreams and loss
Across a sea of hope and lies
Silent screams
Echo through your eyes
It's what you have longed for
What you could become
Pharos
Pharos
Pharos
Pain
Like a fragile fading map
It carving out the lies
Seeking contours in the black
It's what you have longed for (longed for)
What you have become (have become)
So keep alight the fire (fire)
Even when the light is gone
Pharos
it's what you have longed for
(Pharos) what you have become
(Pharos) keep alight the fire
(Pharos) when the light is gone
Sounds like A Perfect Circle last album
HAHAHAAHAHHAAHAHHAHAHAHHA
I like Taylor Swift's version a little better.
The hand and arm etc ruins the video.
Gay.
