Great song. I read an interview where Ihsahn said Elevator was inspired by a scene from a movie... but I don't recall the movie and I can't find the interview. If anyone can help me out, I'd appreciate it.
Two of my favourite musicians come from a really good band who got somewhere, then they split ways to do a solo project. These two men are Ihsahn and Devin Townsend, both wonderful musicians.
dude this album is so fucking sick, i've been listening to this for like 2 solid weeks, fucking amazing album. Ihsahn is officially my favorite musician, period
Wow, this is insane. I must get this album. Ihsahn's composing skills and musicianship are indeed unquestionnable. And the contribution of Åkerfeldt is quite a good idea.
I've never listened to emperor at all. although i like black metal. but nowadays i agree with @OcramSilem! opeth and ihsahn solo project are the great names of metal!!!
@OcramSilem You say they are the most creative metal composers? Compared to all progressive metal composers, or all metal composers that have ever existed in every sub-genre?
It's so weird... I've had this CD in my car for the past week or two and I swear every single night at some point during the whole 5 minutes it takes me to drive home from work... this song comes on. (cd player is on random)
This album is incredible. I thought his first solo album was great - but this one has blown my mind. When I first heard this track I was amazed. This and Scarab are outstanding.
Ihsahn has really progressed between his last release and this one. The production has so much more depth and dare I say that the songs are better too! What a kick ass album! Can an Opeth/Ihsahn Tour be far away?
Ihsahn is truly an emperor and no one will take his throne
