New Ihsahn in October

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.
