I have met Ihsahn twice and he is one of the nicest people I have met in my life. Regardless of his music and being a fan etc, he is just a kind, friendly, humble man. Samoth is a cool and friendly fellow as well. I would happily have them as friends. True people, never fake.
I don’t respect him at all. The guy welcomes back Faust into Emperor. Faust is a convicted murderer and a violent homophobe who killed someone just for being gay. Everyone in the metal community gets angry that why is Tim Lambesis of as I lay dying allowed back in the band due to attempted murder charges. Yet no one says a thing about Faust who is an actual murderer. He hasn’t even apologised or expressed remorse. He’s pretended as if nothing happened. Fuck Emperor and fuck black metal.
@@Grimeyhoob you do realize he isn't a homophobe right? He didn't kill him because he was gay. He killed him to find out what it was like to kill someone. When gaahl came out as gay Faust congratulated him and they're friends soooooo you should probably check your facts before you start talking trash
@@Grimeyhoob people like you shouldn't listen to black metal. The guy wanted to do a little love with a teenage boy. He got what he deserved. Hail Faust!

@@RaytheGrayt I don't necessarily like all their records, and while Anthem is considered by many to be their best, their last two are my favorites. They were very progressive and just had a unique atmosphere, IX Equilibrium in particular is a journey.
The master. Ihsahn has inspired me so much in the past 20 years I got an Emperor logo tattoo. Saw Emperor live in 2006 in Hollywood @ the Key Club. An incredible show. All Hail the Emperor \m/
I know why they only have done one song off of Prometheus.... Those songs are insanely hard to pull off, Empty being possibly the most difficult to play. Plus, Samoth doesn't play 7s and most of the songs would require 3 guitarists. That's my view on it.

One of the most wise persons into the black metal scene...true sophisticated spirit!!!😈
Real gentleman and kind man
Thus spake the ... sophisticated spirit?
I know Im kinda randomly asking but does anybody know a good site to stream new tv shows online?
@Kolton Marco Flixportal =)
@Sonny Ashton thank you, signed up and it seems to work :D Appreciate it !
I'm waiting for a New Emperor Album... It can have The Past, Present, and Future Sound
"I'm the same person, everything around me changes." Fuckin words to live by!
the coolest guy ever of the black metal scene

Hail Emperor,hail Ihsahn,Greece awaits u !!!
Very down-to-earth.
Would love to see a IX Equilibrium album live set or change up the live song list. Thanks!! Fan since 1997!
ooooooo
My favorite record they ever did, IX is a masterpiece.
@@livingbeing1113Facts, IX Equilibrium is often looked as the weakest link, but all of Emperor's albums are classics. Easily my favorite
@@RaytheGrayt I don't necessarily like all their records, and while Anthem is considered by many to be their best, their last two are my favorites.

Even though I would really really want to hear some new Emperor music, I respect his feelings towards not tarnishing the legacy.
When an interviews opens on Ye Entraceperium...yep good stuff.
Best guitarist from Norway!!
One of the respected human being
Nice answer.
New album now!
The master. Ihsahn has inspired me so much in the past 20 years I got an Emperor logo tattoo. Saw Emperor live in 2006 in Hollywood @ the Key Club. An incredible show. All Hail the Emperor \m/
I thought it was Jonathan Davis from korn for half a second
are you illiterate or do you click videos without looking at the title?
One of the most respected human being
great guy and great artist !
Ihsahn has one of the best screams in the scene
Norwegian Jonathan Davis
Christ he is so normal
Jonathan davis of black metal

Another reason might be that it's basically an Ihsahn solo album with the Emperor logo slapped on it.
@@robins5798 pretty much. Might as well have been his first solo record
I was against Emperor doing a new album, but now I want to see what Ihsahn can come up with. It would certanily be something different.
Why would you bee against a new album?
This man looks like Jhonatan Davis of Korn
This is the most cursed comment I've read on TH-cam.
@@jamie000 I mean they do look similar to each other
im glad im not the only one who thought of this
@@jamie000 Boohoo
50/50...1/2 old & 1/2 current (regarding writing new albums)
2 people are incorrect
Old emperor...
Come on it’s Jon Davis
Varg Vikernes called him "rat" cause he tell all the shit to police. Idk if is trve, I like his music.
He seems a bit grumpy/defensive here, haha
Legit reasons.

He looks like a Norwegian john davis lol
Looks so normal....no tattoo and glass.....wtf.
One of the most down to earth artist
What were you expecting, a clown? go look interviews of Frost by Satyricon if you want a "dark" clown.
@@julianblake8385 Weird thing is though, I've seen interviews with Frost and he's actually a fairly to the point and down to earth fellow.
@@julianblake8385 hahaha
I love all of the Emperor activity but explain yourself from this silly ass Prometeus album
It's emperors most complex album. If you can't hear the darkness in it, perhaps you're at fault?
Prometheus is fantastic, just like their best one IX Equilibrium, in my opinion.
Prometheus is a huge grower, you need to invest time in it, and you will be rewarded with a great album.
Hipster band!
@@thismortalcoil696
To be fair Black metal scene was essentially just bunch of young very edgy metal hipsters.
@@ToveriJuri Welcome to 2019, where everything and everyone is labeled "hipster".
@@robins5798
That's because hipster has become a derogatory word and people understand what is meant by the insult. Not everything people call shit is actual literal excrement either.
Because of what? Wearing that sunglasses?
Emperor Essential band Black metal!Old School🤘
