...and then one day Ihsahn look to the heavens and he spoke wise words. He said, "I think I'm gonna go be a guitar god you guys." ... and then we were like "yeah thats cool, you should do that." and then he did. thats how it happened.
MASTERPIECE, consult him when you need to know serious kick ass music, ever evolving, never stuck, he is one of the best artisit ever, proven by all his solo albums. Heard his music in other bands, but prefer his own style & creative work as himself! powerful damn lyrics, arrangements that draw the listener to take a journey to discover some heavy shit.
Too bad most people are looking for more black metal from him cause he isn't gonna do it anymore dick heads. He is his own musician and has stepped out of genre and boundaries to become who he is now. Nothing but respect for people that progress in their musical endeavors
Ihsahn is one of modern metals greatest songwriters! Every time I hear his work it gives me chills! This song in particular is a favorite of mine, and how this doesn't have way more views than it already does I cannot even fathom...
@metaledd88 Hah, yeah I remember destroying some lesser evils in Diablo II while retaining my aura of power via Ihsahn. This song would be perfect for Act II.
@bakota0123 Borgir influence? Ihsahn, and thus Emperor, whom Ihsahn played for, inspired Dimmu Borgir. So the way to say it is Dimmu Borgir has alot of Ihsahn and Emperor influence
I love the change in styles and moods present throughout this piece; so many different musical methods to convey the same themes, like adding shading to different parts of a portrait.
691 now! tell your friends! lets hit a grand before 6-11-09. and jason jimenez if your out there check out threnody! on a seperate note, what the hell is better than sex Mr. 123?
@betterthansex123 I don't think so. I love owning albums that hardly noone knows about. Ecspecially when they're as killer as angL. However, it does suck for Ihsahn. He deserves more recognition and incentive. That's why people like us need to promote his work as best we can.
It's been said a million times, but this riff is awesome.

After all these years, I still cannot believe how a human being (i.e. Ihsahn) could come up with such an amazing riff!
Hats off!
