New Ihsahn in October

Posted in Records on September 6, 2013

Ihsahn will release their fifth album, Das Seelenbrechen, on Oct. 22 on Candlelight Records. Ihsahn, formerly of Emperor, offers the following glimpse into the new material:

Musically, this album is a very deliberate sidestep to what I have been doing; a necessity to reset the creative parameters so not to fall into formula...I think I do my best work slightly outside of my comfort zone and I've wanted to do something like this for a long time. Free form and improvisational can be scary for a musician but it is very liberating at the same time.

He last released Eremita in 2012.
