#525 - Ihsahn (Emperor)

Ihsahn is joining the podcast this week to celebrate his new
self-titled album coming out Feb. 16. In this episode, we discuss
his passion for film composition, some of the names that he's
followed over the years, his drive to always have an orchestral
element to his music, the rock artists that transition into doing
full time film work, and how he created a world based on the
orchestral release of the self titled album. In addition to all
that, we chat about what perimeters would need to be met for the
orchestral version of the new album to get a proper live
presentation, how it's been working on the documentary of
Fascination Street Studios with Jens Bogren, and the importance and
magic of capturing the inexplicable moment in art that can’t be
replicated. Petar and Sylvia discuss the reveal of Kerry King’s new
band, our thoughts on the first track released to fans, his
upcoming tour with Lamb of God and Mastodon, the update on his
relationship with his old Slayer bandmates, and Bon Jovi stating
that he won’t use backing tracks live to perform to his legion of
fans. Song: Ihsahn “Pilgrimage to Oblivion” Song: Ihsahn “The
