Interview with Ihsahn from EMPEROR at Hellfest 2019

[@Simonize41]

I have met Ihsahn twice and he is one of the nicest people I have met in my life. Regardless of his music and being a fan etc, he is just a kind, friendly, humble man. Samoth is a cool and friendly fellow as well. I would happily have them as friends. True people, never fake.

[@athinadrk2882]

One of the most wise persons into the black metal scene...true sophisticated spirit!!!😈

Real gentleman and kind man

I'm waiting for a New Emperor Album... It can have The Past, Present, and Future Sound

[@rifflife]

"I'm the same person, everything around me changes." Fuckin words to live by!

[@3bnuri]

the coolest guy ever of the black metal scene

[@Grimeyhoob]

I don’t respect him at all. The guy welcomes back Faust into Emperor. Faust is a convicted murderer and a violent homophobe who killed someone just for being gay. Everyone in the metal community gets angry that why is Tim Lambesis of as I lay dying allowed back in the band due to attempted murder charges. Yet no one says a thing about Faust who is an actual murderer. He hasn’t even apologised or expressed remorse. He’s pretended as if nothing happened. Fuck Emperor and fuck black metal.

[@swinaecologist9610]

@@Grimeyhoob you do realize he isn't a homophobe right? He didn't kill him because he was gay. He killed him to find out what it was like to kill someone. When gaahl came out as gay Faust congratulated him and they're friends soooooo you should probably check your facts before you start talking trash

[@ProDoucher]

@@swinaecologist9610 Its possible his attitude towards gay people changed while he was in prison

[@mato87]

@@Grimeyhoob people like you shouldn't listen to black metal. The guy wanted to do a little love with a teenage boy. He got what he deserved. Hail Faust!

Would love to see a IX Equilibrium album live set or change up the live song list. Thanks!! Fan since 1997!

[@pawspawlisko4025]

ooooooo

[@livingbeing1113]

My favorite record they ever did, IX is a masterpiece.

[@RaytheGrayt]

@@livingbeing1113Facts, IX Equilibrium is often looked as the weakest link, but all of Emperor's albums are classics. Easily my favorite

[@livingbeing1113]

@@RaytheGrayt I don't necessarily like all their records, and while Anthem is considered by many to be their best, their last two are my favorites. They were very progressive and just had a unique atmosphere, IX Equilibrium in particular is a journey.

[@user-mh7ub8us6z]

Hail Emperor,hail Ihsahn,Greece awaits u !!!

[@joshualawson5607]

Even though I would really really want to hear some new Emperor music, I respect his feelings towards not tarnishing the legacy.

are you illiterate or do you click videos without looking at the title?

[@viking_sith_lord]

The master. Ihsahn has inspired me so much in the past 20 years I got an Emperor logo tattoo. Saw Emperor live in 2006 in Hollywood @ the Key Club. An incredible show. All Hail the Emperor \m/

Norwegian Jonathan Davis

[@evil7230]

Jonathan davis of black metal

[@saintluciaofficial2019]

I know why they only have done one song off of Prometheus.... Those songs are insanely hard to pull off, Empty being possibly the most difficult to play. Plus, Samoth doesn't play 7s and most of the songs would require 3 guitarists. That's my view on it.

[@robins5798]

Another reason might be that it's basically an Ihsahn solo album with the Emperor logo slapped on it.

[@saintluciaofficial2019]

@@robins5798 pretty much. Might as well have been his first solo record

I was against Emperor doing a new album, but now I want to see what Ihsahn can come up with. It would certanily be something different.

I love all of the Emperor activity but explain yourself from this silly ass Prometeus album

[@Rhyzomect]

It's emperors most complex album. If you can't hear the darkness in it, perhaps you're at fault?

[@livingbeing1113]

Prometheus is fantastic, just like their best one IX Equilibrium, in my opinion.

[@Svvithred]

Prometheus is a huge grower, you need to invest time in it, and you will be rewarded with a great album.

Hipster band!
