Ihsahn Solo Recording

The Adversary has been confirmed as album title for the forthcoming solo recording from musician Ihsahn. Final stages of album recording are currently underway at Symphonique Studios in Norway with the final mix planned for early 2006.

All music and lyrics for The Adversary were written and performed by Ihsahn with exception of drums, performed by Asgeir Mickelson (Borknagar, Spiral Architect).

Ihsahn is best known as the vocalist/guitarist of Emperor. Formed in 1991, Emperor recordings have sold hundreds of thousands worldwide. Their impact on black/extreme metal ranks them as one of the genre's most influential. Four farewell American shows for Emperor were recently confirmed, and will be Ihsahn's first visit to the US since Emperor's only US tour in support of their third album, IX Equilibrium. The recent announcements followed confirmations of European shows that the band will also perform in 2006.
