In this hour-long HEAVY Magazine Emperor special and coinciding with their upcoming Australia / New Zealand "In The Nightside Eclipse" tour, frontman Ihsahn gives us an in depth and personal reflection of his musical career. Delving into Emperor’s past and subsequent demise due to musical divergences pertaining to both his and Samoth’s drifting down separate artistic paths. But also how they reinvigorated one another's passion to bring Emperor back to life! Included within is a selection of essential Emperor songs from their back catalogue which would lead us to the obvious billion dollar question asking if we would ever hear new Emperor and record together again as well as how Ihsahn deals with hearing people refer to his status as being a visionary and godfather of extreme metal. Much much more is to be discovered that is absolutely essential listening if you have ever wanted to delve into the mind of one so attuned to musical brilliance.
