IHSAHN’s
prodigious and prolific talents have been at the forefront of heavy music for
the past two decades. He began his career at age thirteen as a member of what
would become fledgling black metal crew Emperor. As a band, Emperor would both
define and refine metal, pushing the boundaries of what was considered possible
within the most arcane of art forms and taking some of the most adventurous and
extreme music of all time to a huge global audience. With albums like seminal
In The Nightside Eclipse (recorded when IHSAHN was only
seventeen), and Anthems To The Welkin At Dusk, Emperor obliterated
all-comers and became one of the most revered metal bands in history. After the
release of their final masterpiece, Prometheus: The Discipline Of Fire &
Demise in 2001, IHSAHN announced that the band were to part ways to
enable himself and his colleagues to pursue new creative avenues.
