#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.
