@@DefectivePieceofChalk You're right! Also Enslaved and Moonsorrow have been very pioneering with their music (even though Moonsorrow is usually put to the folk category).
Arguably the most crafted and developed metal musician alive today. This guy IS metal history. If In Flames could get their integrity back this would be a great tour with them to take.
OH MY GOD!!! I absolutely love the dark ominous tone of that keyboard. The build up with the violins and strings, the drums, the guitar, the screams. My God probably my favorite song right now. Can’t stop hitting replay.

@@adamfowler5475 It will not be an easy task, especially with the large number of albums of high quality that came out this 2018, as for example we have albums like: Hate Eternal: Upon Desolate Sands Drudkh: They Often See Dreams About the Spring Funeral Mist: Hekatomb Judas Priest: Firepower Necrophobic: Mark of the Necrogram Primordial: Exile Amongst the Ruins A Forest of Stars: Grave Mounds and Grave Mistakes Beyond Creation: Algorythm Anaal Nathrakh: A New Kind of Horror Harakiri For The Sky: Arson Tamerlan Empire: Age of Ascendancy Lucifer's Child: The Order Orphaned Land: Unsung Prophets & Dead Messiahs Summoning: With Doom We Come At The Gates: To Drink from the Night Itself Immortal: Northern Chaos Gods Monstrosity: The Passage of Existence
@@norwardradtke1361 well, actually no. The chord progression, which is pretty simple and straight and the tempo, with not so much time changes like in arktis, and a lot of stuff. But if you think that its only reduced to "lol blast beats lml" well...
I show this to myuncle(hes a big fan of early emperor, nightsky era) at first he thought ihsahn went synth but after finishing the whole tune he said well ihsahn is keep amusing me with his words and melodic arrangement... Then five days later boom 2 copy of these came to my door.. Thx uncle Nordin ur the most awesome, period
LYRICS: Lend me the eyes of millennia Align the rapid glimpse of lives in frames Like fading photographs in ashes In desperate seconds, closed in by the flames Let me walk into their cities When dust and sand has covered every trace If love, of pain and liberty A veil of ash and night across its face I would cast a shadows over beacons To see disoriented swarms disperse Like rays of hope into the night The rise of civilizations in reverse And as ghosts among the living Like echoes of a fading song We could run across the battlefields On blood-stained road to freedom Lend me the eyes of millennia Align the rapid glimpse of lives in frames Like fading photographs in ashes In desperate seconds, closed in by the flames Let me walk into their cities When dust and sand has covered every trace If love, of pain and liberty
This song, and really the lyrics, are almost like a conversation between god and Lucifer and how his last request was to see what he was cast out for...
I feel like Ihsahn is doing exactly what Kristoffer Rygg would be doing if he still did extreme metal. (I love everything from Ulver nonetheless, and this new Ihsahn album fucking rules)
Oh man, how I wish i actually did go to see you in St. Petersburg in 2016... Wasn't so into extreme prog back then. Maybe you'll come back? Pretty please?
Yeah, that's right. He wanted the tongue of fire to set the world ablaze. So what does he plan on doing with the eyes of millennia ? Why's he always doing this crazy things, eh ? Oh, Ihsahn ^_^
Authenticity...you can hear it. Fucking blown away. Hadn't heard anything from them since I bought a physical copy of 'After'...and wow Some parts of this gave me goosebumps.
This song reminds of Emperor's IX Equilibrium masterpiece! Ihsahn is taking his music to another level. Thumbs up to you Vegard Sverre Tveitan & the team!
El Black Metal sigue vivo gracias a este señor!!! Eterno Ihsahn!!!!
he has always been the most classy member of BM scene
the only one with focus towards music quality
The most intelligent one by far

Man, that Drummer!! He went straight into the core. Lets take a moment and appreciate the drummer as well.
Ihsahn has another drummer. His name is Trym. You might like him.
@@whopperwithcheeseAnd Faust.
@@ANXOHR we don't talk about him around here
Tobias, formerly of Leprous. Beast
3 years late but ya... hes some cyborg creature... a metal beast if you will... not to dissimilar to painkillers ride. Metal monster lol
Ihshan is one of those artists that never stop surprising. This album is brilliant and every song in it is perfect.
Sono assolutamente d' accordo...... Great!
Love it!! This man is genius!!
he is more then a genius
Self taught = no rules to follow but your own
Totally Agree!!!!!!!
Isn't he, though??
the real question is: how does Ihsahn find sweaters that make him look so edgy, but so comfy at the same time?
Norway :D
I want to knit his sweaters
I think it's Naketano sweatshirt. Best brand ever
He is the Emperor
Bruhhhh 😂😂😂
Arguably the most crafted and developed metal musician alive today. This guy IS metal history.

Ihsahn, the absolute legend.
What a voice!!!
He's definitely our Emperor.

Long live to

Best live performer, kindest person and a tall giant🖤
he's 6'1", hardly a giant
How would a short giant work?
Oficially the world's smallest giant
@@Nervulis lmao :') this made me think of giant boy detective in the venture bros
185cm ！He's tall, and perfect
I don't know how he does it, but Ihsahn is a brilliant song writer.

Ihsahn is probably one of the few people that keeps Black Metal evolving.
Name the others plz I am curious of your reasoning
@@ast9555 Another would be Blut Aus Nord
sit down bro, this is not black metal... silly ...
Enslaved
Hardcore BM fans don't want evolution, they want the same corpse-painted grind over and over forever.
One of the best videos in recent memory.
This is on another level of heaviness..

LYRICS:
Lend me the eyes of millennia
Align the rapid glimpse of lives in frames
Like fading photographs in ashes
In desperate seconds, closed in by the flames
Let me walk into their cities
When dust and sand has covered every trace
If love, of pain and liberty
A veil of ash and night across its face
I would cast a shadows over beacons
To see disoriented swarms disperse
Like rays of hope into the night
The rise of civilizations in reverse
And as ghosts among the living
Like echoes of a fading song
We could run across the battlefields
On blood-stained road to freedom
Lend me the eyes of millennia
Align the rapid glimpse of lives in frames
Like fading photographs in ashes
In desperate seconds, closed in by the flames
Let me walk into their cities
When dust and sand has covered every trace
If love, of pain and liberty
Thanks boss
Thank you.
This song, and really the lyrics, are almost like a conversation between god and Lucifer and how his last request was to see what he was cast out for...
When I get too obsessed with waiting I put it from my mind and then it creeps up unnoticed. I'm late!
The master and the masterpiece.
Maldito Ihsahn eres el puto amo !!! Genio incombustible.
I have a real obsession with this masterpiece.
The screams toward the end are more extreme than emperor....
Idk. Wrath of the tyrant was pretty crazy
it's got ya technos, ya blast beats, all the best hits.
Hey, what's with those EBM/electro goth sounding synths?? :D it's awesome!!
I love his use of that 70's/80'sish EBM/Electro keyboard sound.
Because its lend me the eyes of millenia
Analog synths, The Ocean also used them on 'Phanerozoic I', prefer its sound to the electronic ones!
Ihsahn is as Ihsahn does... it's always been that way.
"synth string stabs" if you want to narrow down the search for a similar sound / synth patch
Love your performance in hammersonic, Indonesia 💖
ihsahn ist ein sehr talentierter Typ, er hat nie Probleme, seine Musik zu komponieren, Ihsahn ist besser alleine gewesen ohne EMPEROR ich sage nur
The beginning sounds like Leprous a lil bit. Good stuff
Love that Ihsahn and Einar are in-laws
Is this a song about wearing glasses?
This is so good
Otra obra maestra de Ihsahn.
Jeezus that was a bit intense lol I enjoyed it
Man this guys music is just so far out in its own universe.
Always a genius...
Amazing sound
After listening to this song a billion times, I suddenly here Dawn - Slaughtersun.....
Sounds like “in the wordless chamber”. Great album.
This is one of those track which gets better the more you listen!
This is like a nice new throwback to invocation! Great!
That's the proper way to make a music video !
Steven Shreif Right? It’s simple but I like the direction and editing
Wonder if this song was inspired by Ozymandias by Shelley. Amazing lyric
Excellent tune, Ihsahn's still got it.
Bonkers concert and was there living 10 mins away.
I like 👍 so many layers of sound in one song .
best song of the album
Samr & Wake are great too!
Vem pro Brasil logo, homem.
A surprise to be sure, but a welcome one. Palpatine-ing aside this is a monstrous opener. Ihsahn pushing boundaries yet again!
Ihsahn's been Palpatining since "Loss and Curse of Reverence".
He's the Senate?
I feel like Ihsahn is doing exactly what Kristoffer Rygg would be doing if he still did extreme metal. (I love everything from Ulver nonetheless, and this new Ihsahn album fucking rules)
this is music as it is meant to be no gimmicks or image just plain music. therefore it is much more intens and meaningfull, ihsahn is a true musician
This song totally sounds like Emperor ! Táto pieseň znie úplne ako Emperor!
Hmmmm I wonder why??? 🤔
Not quite is different
the most epic song ihsahn ever created, and that I listen to all the albums of emperor
Thank everything that is foul, he is only in his 40's. Many more years of Ihsahn to come!
This guy just cannot make bad music
Wow my heart is racing
This guy is awesome! What a great musician.
Why he looks like jonathan davis in the dark ? 😂
Exactly like what you said! both are a soul in the different bodies😉
He kinda looks like JD in the light too :P
Pretty sure he pre dates jd. In both age and musicianship
This song is so beautiful! \m/ Greetings from Poland 💙
We need a music video for Sámr.
Ihsahn still boss today!! Metal for Life!
Still blasting this on a quarantined week.
Oh man, how I wish i actually did go to see you in St. Petersburg in 2016... Wasn't so into extreme prog back then. Maybe you'll come back? Pretty please?
expérimentation de black métal progressif ,un bijou orchestral très personnel à savourer
The whole song is incredible, but the ending gives me some serious chills down my spine every time.
First you wanted the tongue of fire now you want the eyes of the millennia !!
So true! What's next? The hands of eternia?
lol
@@Adrian_MS86 Dicks of Norway Forest Trolls
Yeah, that's right. He wanted the tongue of fire to set the world ablaze. So what does he plan on doing with the eyes of millennia ? Why's he always doing this crazy things, eh ? Oh, Ihsahn ^_^
Killer Song, best on the Album.
Love this song❤❤❤
WOW wouldnt have thought he released my fav song of this album :D
Authenticity...you can hear it. Fucking blown away. Hadn't heard anything from them since I bought a physical copy of 'After'...and wow
Some parts of this gave me goosebumps.
Wait is that Leprous? The guys in the background?
Yep! Amost all of 'em
I'm pretty sure Einar of Leprous is Ishahn's brother in law.
one word about this song: E P I C ( still discovering Amr)
the best song on the album
Been following this guy's career since the days of arson,murder & suicide.What a comeback.Different....yet definitely reminiscent,y'get me?
What a gem! 👌🏿
This is Excellent music..Ihsahn is genius !!
This song reminds of Emperor's IX Equilibrium masterpiece! Ihsahn is taking his music to another level. Thumbs up to you Vegard Sverre Tveitan & the team!

Are you related to Kevin Paradis? You look so much alike. Should start a band with him.

Can't unhear!

I don't know why, but it reminds me of Progenie Terrestre Pura.
I can imagine this sounding pretty sick live. Hope they play it at Damnation Festival in a couple of days!

The Master!!!
ABSOLUTE BANGER
Sounds pretty good this one
that hardware synth is quite something
Одним словом-ГЕНИЙ!!!
