Il frontman degli Emperor Ihsahn è pronto a tornare con un nuovo album a un anno di distanza da “Arktis” intitolato “Ámr” che arriverà nei negozi di dischi il prossimo 4 maggio pubblicato da Candlelight/Spinefarm.
Lo stesso Ihsahn ha così parlato del disco:
“It goes back to the beginning of Emperor, when we brought in strings and horns inspired by orchestral movie scores by John Williams and Jerry Goldsmith, but at the same time we loved all those eerie synth soundtracks of, for example, John Carpenter‘s ‘Halloween‘.
I’ve also been listening to some contemporary R&B and hip-hop stuff with those deep, deep 808s. It’s just somehow darker than a lot of metal or black metal. It has a depth and an energy to it that I find captivating, so I wanted to explore those arrangement styles as well.”01 – “Lend Me The Eyes Of The Millenia”
