The EVOLUTION of IHSAHN (1990 to present)

I do NOT claim any of the music featured as my own.

[@AleYanok]

The song with Mikael Akerfeldt is Unhealer not Called by the Fire, I mislabeled it because I'm stupid

[@siegfriedwashburn3484]

Its ok, bro. Only the machine working with no mistakes. This part is not to much significant, so I think, we will forgive you.:-) Its not something, you need to be worried about. The video is successful, and 1 mistake is not to much big issue.

[@smallfaucet]

Haha, stupid.......we're all stupid! if only we could live in youth forever \m/

[@DeffoZappo]

Ihsahn does not get the credit he deserves because of his chosen genre but he is up there with the best song writers and composers of all time. Some of the most badass guitar riffs ever heard like on IX Equilibrium and Prometheus. Playing incredibly complex riffs while singing live. Some pretty incredible multi-instrumental capabilities and of course outlandish compositions on some of his solo stuff like having a be-bebop/free jazz sax solo over black metal motifs. I could literally go on for hours pointing out all the most fantastic moments in every song he has done. Thanks for this video.

[@iamthebeelzebub]

Definitely one of the best contemporary songwriters, the kind that get listened to centuries after.

[@carlosgven]

Totally agreed!

[@Stand_By_For_Mind_Control]

He's up there with guys like Zappa and Gilmour or Mark Knopfler as one of the best lead guitarist/vocalists ever. He's gotta be. Even if he plays genre music that doesn't get a ton of respect with critics the man is insanely talented.

[@Stand_By_For_Mind_Control]

This dude has been like a warm, comfortable blanket for me since I was like 15. So yeah almost 30 years of making basically exactly the kind of music I like. Everything from Nightside Eclipse until now has been amazing.

[@LuisLopez-jt7dh]

Ihsahn is Åkerfeldt of Black Metal. He evolved from extreme as a youngster into more complex and progressive sounds. The best musician in his genre.

A legend forever! Arktis is probably my favorite album of all time rn. "Why wrestle all this guilt when you can pick a fight with death? Why nurture weaknesses and flaws? You chose a life at war so choose a worthy enemy If not to conquer then to taste the blood"

[@belladonnajoey]

All time??? 😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂 Bro stop drink wine at every hour

[@Pause0]

@@belladonnajoey yeah cause you seem stone cold after typing that out... I'll like what I like thanks. 🖕

[@d.sherman8563]

You chose a life at war now choose a worthy enemy. You know, it doesn’t always have to be yourself.

[@ledward1128]

We await the evolution of ¡EMPEROR! ¡EMPEROR! ¡EMPEROR!

[@WhoisVinnie]

@Kristjan Radosavljević It was actually Emperor

[@siegfriedwashburn3484]

The best rocker of Telemark. Despite of painting the hair in black, that is making to think about the commercial narrative of the image, Vegard is still the best of the best: he made BM on the highest level, and than he didn't stopped his experiments, but he is so good, that I can understand it. Hope, he will keep on! 🙏🗡️🔪🤘🎸👹

[@ivanbalsimo404]

He is the same age as my Dad, born in 1975.

[@brandongnarlow9162]

Great concept for a video about this legend 👏

[@carlosgven]

This is so cool man, congratulations!

[@MukesBoy]

The first song i heard by emperor was Empty and ive loved and owned the Prometheus album since it was first released. I haye that he never plays anything off of it

[@d.sherman8563]

Emperor almost always plays In the wordless chamber during live shows since their reunion, he has on occasion played The tongue of fire with his solo band.

[@MukesBoy]

@@d.sherman8563 I've searched for over 20 years now and I've not found 1 single video or audio of Empty. I want one so bad

[@MikaDamaged]

Hails for one of the mighty emperors!! \m/

[@samuelhernandez1081]

Long live to the EmperoR.. they started the quality BM.

[@VincentVegardSvart]

Master of all masters
