After marks the third solo release of the former Emperor front man. I think, as the saying goes, "the third time's the charm" is fitting here. Ihsahn's prior two solo efforts were cerebral affairs that at times seemed perhaps too heady and just didn't click. This one seems to have fallen into place quite nicely. Read more ›› |

---- Metal takes hold death starts to unfold It's loud like the worlds at an end Your in a blood fury the metal won't stop Onlookers they bang at command Cutting your palm and drinking your blood The power that few others dare You feed the need to go

Does anyone know where I can find the lyrics? The booklet contains nothing but images and Google, for the first time, has let me down

"UnderCurrent" is my favorite song...wow ..what a build up! Along with Barren Earth's debut, this is a choice for album of the year!

Conveys the desolate mood of the cold frozen wastes of another planet (or Norway) perfectly. Very strong contender for Prog of the year. Undercurrent and On the Shores are brilliant and timeless masterpieces and the Sax, no matter how "novelty factor for the sake of it" it may be, really pushes the envelope for the album.

Written by [user id=35732] on 02.10.2010 at 03:45 What exactly is that... the production? I agree that many albums this year were over-produced, taking the rawness and atmosphere out, but didn't think this was one of them.

Written by [user id=35732] on 03.10.2010 at 02:18 I understand now, can definitely hear some Townsend-esque styles in this album, that may be why I like this one more than Ihsahn's previous efforts

Such an interesting album, definitely one of my best of the year. I love the use of saxophone, such a treat, but the atmosphere is what makes this album. The atmosphere provides such a unique cradle for the instrumentation and melodies to grow. Love it.

Prog metal fans should really check out this album, for me it is the best one that 2010 gave us. Awesome raw and clean vocals, fretless bass, intense riffing and the incorporation of the sax make of this album, if not multiple orgasm generator, an interesting listen.

I still wonder why this one is not rated higher...

I cannot comprehend why this album isn't rated higher than The Adversary and angL. This is just SO much better every single aspect

Great release, one of the first metal CDs I bought and it always leaves an impression.

Written by Slyfang on 18.06.2012 at 02:12 Opinions mate....opinions Also you have to consider the fact that this album has several more votes than the previous albums, so I'm guessing that the lower score is a result of several voters stepping out of their comfort zone and sequentially rating the album lower than fans of this sort of music or band might.
