Today
and throughout the week AOL Music will be streaming Eremita, the latest full-length from
former Emperor mastermind IHSAHN, in its entirety! Scheduled to drop
tomorrow via Candlelight Records, the nine-track masterwork was recorded and
produced at Telemark’s Ivory Shoulder Studios, with additional tracking
completed at Notodden’s Juke Joint Studio and Seattle’s Envisage Audio, and
mixed by Jens Bogren (Opeth) at Fascination Street Studios in Orebo, Sweden. In
an 8/10 review Decibel assures: “…those into prime prog metal, here’s one of
your favorite albums of 2012,” and Guitar World notes: “… IHSAHN proves yet again
that he is one of the most influential, progressive and enduring musicians to
emerge out of the classic Norwegian black metal scene.” MetalSucks: shares the
sentiment proclaiming: “IHSAHN just keeps getting better and better with
every album he releases. He’s really come into his own as one of the most
talented musicians and songwriters in all of metal, and his distinct, singular
sound has come a long way from his days in Emperor,” while About.com boasts in a
4.5/5 review: “…one of the musical
highlights of this year.”
