	Interview with IHSAHN :: Maelstrom :: Issue No 48 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
		Ihsahn: It was a way to show that I wrote all the material and recorded it in my studio; arranged everything; and I played most of it.
		Ihsahn: No, but what I feel from my perspective — what I really owe the fans of the musical work that I’ve done (be it in Emperor, or Peccatum, or what I’m doing now) is to stay 100 percent honest in my expression, and follow my heart.
		And with the Emperor reunion shows, and having one [Ihsahn album] to pick from [to play material live], I really don’t have the time or see the full point in going out [live] at this point of playing half the album, and the rest be old Emperor songs.

	IHSAHN discography, MP3 and reviews
		Ihsahn would later come back to the project in 2000 in order to record a neo-classical/ambient album "Somnium" under its name.
		Ihsahn’s most commercially successful work remains with EMPEROR, with which he defined the sound of the second wave of Black Metal in such classics as "In the Nightside Eclipse" and "Anthems to the Welkin at Dusk".
		Ihsahn currently considers writing a follow-up to the album, as well as finding musicians to reproduce the songs in a live setting.

	Emperor
		Ihsahn: Oh I think, of course there are different factors and reasons, but in the end it boils down to the fact that we have done what we can as Emperor.
		Ihsahn: Yeah, I mean, when you are in the hitlist kind of the music scene, then there’s a competition.
		Ihsahn: I think, even though this album is very much built on the musical foundation we have as a band.

		Ihsahn screams in a very cool rhythmic pattern here-- it is often his sense of rhythm that makes up for either cheesy lyrics, or the fact that the sound of his screams can get taxing after a while.
		Ihsahn's vocals are clearer, but that doesn't mean we're any closer to figuring out what the Hell he's saying.
		Ihsahn is in key, but out of tune, especially when he hits the super-high notes.

		While his name will always be synonymous with the mighty Emperor, Ihsahn has also contributed to various other projects including the experimental musical journey of the recently disbanded, Peccatum with his wife Ihriel.
		Ihsahn is really one of the few those unforgetable and unique figures in music.

	Amazon.com: The Adversary: Music: Ihsahn (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
		Ihsahn (From the Emperor fame) is of no exception, combining fl metal with progressive genius to craft what will likely be one of the top albums of 2006.
		Ihsahn seamlessly blends together a staggering amount of different musical styles/genres: progressive metal, thrash, fl metal, symphonic metal, classic metal, and even a little bit of death metal.
		Ihsahn was smart to put only the most brilliant and amazing tracks on the album and ruthlessly cut semi-decent and mediocre songs (better to have 9/9 incredible tracks than mar the masterpiece with 2-5 songs that people would end up skipping anyway and lower the album's overall quality).

	Imhotep
		Ihsahn: Hard to say, but going to the post-office picking up the first Emperor vinyl’s together, is definitely one of them.
		Ihsahn begins by informing us about the similarity before he reveals why “The Adversary” has turned out to be a tremendous melting pot of a metal album.
		Ihsahn explains that it was partly a reason for the band’s decision to quit.

	Ihsahn - The Adversary - Review @ MetalHordes.com
		When hearing about the fact that Ihsahn was recording a solo album, I have to admit I was quite excited and interested to see what he would come up.
		Ihsahn, The Adversary is a return to his extreme metal roots with a lot of experimenting still intact that he delved into with later period Emperor and Peccatum.
		Overall, “The Adversary” is an extremely worthy outing by Ihsahn and I have a feeling that when the dust settles it will remain one of my favorite albums of the year.

	PyroMusic.net - Review of: Ihsahn - The Adversary (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
		Even so, this is perhaps the best representation of the sheer diversity of Ihsahn's musical leanings to be found on "The Adversary." Although this song is appropriately dark, it is one that would hold appeal to listeners outside of metal.
		Ihsahn also shows a mellow side on the morose and avant-garde "Astera ton Proinon." But this track is complemented by a much heavier chorus than "The Homecoming," creating an interesting paradigm shift that's a great representation of this artist's development as a songwriter.
		Employing simultaneous duality between a vicious, raspy snarl and a solidly tuneful mid-baritone croon, Ihsahn's adept placement of vocal melodies on this particular track is quite extraordinary.

	The Adversary - Ihsahn - Song Listings
		When a vocalist for a well-known band provides a solo album -- either while he/she is still with the band or after leaving it -- the material might be a big departure from the band's work, a carbon copy of the band's work, or something in between.
		In the case of former Emperor vocalist/lead guitarist Ihsahn, The Adversary is definitely an example of "something in between." This 2006 release, which is the Norwegian headbanger's first solo project, is neither a carbon copy of Emperor's fl metal nor a radical departure from it.
		The fl metal that Ihsahn embraces as a solo artist is symphonic fl metal -- that is, a very melodic, intricate combination of fl metal, power metal, and/or progressive rock.

	Thou Shalt Suffer Reviews
		However in these early days the bands sound was rather basic brutal death metal, but the band made good use of Ihsahn’s keyboard skills and mixed this into their brutal attack for a more interesting sound.
		Ihsahn’s vocals are mostly just incoherent death metal mumbling with some occasional high-pitched shrieks here and there.
		Ihsahn has been working sporadically on this album since 1991 and after nine years he created and absolute masterpiece of neo classical keyboard compositions that are so grand and sophisticated sounded that it drives me nuts to no end wondering why this album never got more attention.

		Ihsahn has finally put out his official solo album.
		With that being said, this is still Ihsahn and you can most definitely tell that it is him by the styling of the music and his unmistakable voice.
		As already stated, this is Ihsahn… maybe to expect something particular out of him, other than the style of his guitar playing and the sound of his voice should be forgotten about as well.

	SSW - Ihsahn - FAQ
		Ihsahn: “The main challenge was to get out of the experimental style of working that I’d been doing with Peccatum, because it’s very easy when you only work in the studio to fiddle around with keyboard sounds and plug-ins and making effects and working on different sound textures, but that doesn’t really make metal albums.
		Ihsahn: “The title came last, as it usually does with me. After going through all the lyrics, ‘The Adversary’ seemed a very short but descriptive title for the whole thing.
		Ihsahn: “In October or November I was put back a month because of a computer crash.

	Ihsahn - The Adversary (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
		While Ihsahn’s solo debut doesn’t abandon the elements that make Peccatum great, it certainly leans more towards the sound that defined Emperor’s later years than you would have ever imagined it would.
		Ihsahn even hits some notes usually reserved for King Diamond on it- didn’t see that coming.
		This is an unexpectedly heavy return to form for Ihsahn and I hope it isn’t the last we hear from him as a solo artist.

	Emperor
		Emperor is a seminal and infamous Norwegian fl metal band that was formed in 1991, dissolved in 2001, and reformed in late 2005.
		Now continuing their career as a trio, with Ihsahn handling keyboards, vocals, guitars and bass, the band recorded their third album ''IX Equilibrium'' and toured Europe and the United States.
		It was around 2000 when Samoth and Trym started to gravitate more towards death metal, while Ihsahn directed his musical exploration towards the more artistic and progressive side of extreme metal, as shown by his side project, Peccatum.

		All music and lyrics for "The Adversary" were written and performed by Ihsahn with exception of drums, which were played by Asgeir Mickelson (BORKNAGAR, SPIRAL ARCHITECT).
		Just not quite what I liked most from Ihsahn.
		Great track, seems like the logical extension of Prometheus, which is no surprise, as Ihsahn wrote that as well.

	themusicedge.com :: Ihsahn (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
		Considering that Ihsahn has been leading one of the best fl metal bands in history, Emperor, it is nearly impossible to approach The Adversary with zero expectations.
		Flaws dissipate and become part of the album and the sheer eloquence that seems to involve much of the 9 tracks included here begin to sound natural and even necessary.
		As a musician Ihsahn’s abilities are impressive; his vocal range is here mostly clean, and occasionally grand-fathery kind of like King Diamond’s, while his technical skills seem to have peeked in tracks like the above mentioned “Citizen” and “Panem Et Circenses.” The good greatly outweighs the bad in this Ihsahn’s first solo venture.

	Emperor - Anthems to the Welkin at Dusk - Review @ MetalHordes.com
		Ihsahn and Samoth created some of the most spiritually powerful music we are blessed enough to have, and the accompanying lyrics are the true source of my understanding of this album.
		Ihsahn describes the first time he entered the realm and realizes that while he is there that he has left nothing behind on earth; this being the basis of Ihsahn’s true misanthropic lyrics.
		It is Ihsahn’s way of proving that he will keep his Oath, whatever deal it was that he made one night with the Nightspirit, from within the Realm I was describing.

		Here, Emperor mainman Ihsahn is joined by his wife Ihriel and her brother Lord PZ, with all three providing vocals and Ihsahn most if not all of the instrumentation.
		Musically, there's a fair amount of Emperor-style fl metal, but by no means is this trio limited to that style, as classical influences are clearly heard throughout, along with plenty of experimentalism that (as is often the case with such efforts) straddles the line between genius and unwarranted complexity or pretentiousness.
		Ihsahn followers expecting a second Emperor might be disappointed, but those into avant-garde extreme music would do well to check this band out.
