After blowing up Emperor in 2001, guitarist, keyboardist, and composer Ihsahn embarked on a solo career that has been strangely dazzling in its focused creativity, expansive scope, and a relentless willingness to throw caution out the window.
While his first five solo offerings retained their tangential connection to second wave black metal, all the while pushing its more progressive and vanguard elements, the evolution shifted jarringly with 2016's Arktis.
Guitar tones were more overdriven than jagged, analog synths became as dominant as orchestration, and songs were written consciously with melodic, even poppy, hooks and dense but pronounced rhythms, atmospherics, and dynamics.
