Just thirty years of age, Ihsahn has traveled far beyond his rural beginnings. In little more than a decade, the largely self-taught musician has amassed a resume that when combined exceeds more than three quarters of a million worldwide album sales. His cumulative professional accolades include a 2001 Spelleman (Norwegian Grammy) Award nomination, 2003 Notodden City Cultural Award, and countless “Best of” class honors in internationally respected metal and rock magazines including Terrorizer, Metal Maniacs, Revolver, Kerrang!, Guitar World and many more. Now with The Adversary, the former Emperor vocalist/guitarist steps outside the comforts of an ensemble or collaboration and commands for the first time his most challenging project – a solo album. It’s difficult to keep the action subtle when dealing with symphonic black metal and/or progressive metal. Subtlety is exactly what’s needed with progressive metal to prevent people from going overboard with long songs, different time signatures and masturbatory skill exercises.
Recorded during the first half of 2009 at Ihsahn’s own Symphonique Studio, with
additional work at Toproom Studio (co-engineered by Borge Finstad).
The vinyl version will be released by Temple of Darkness Records.
