Ihsahn biography :

Ihsahn (real name Vegard Sverre Tveitan) was born in 1975 in Notodden, Norway. He is a talented Norwegian composer, multi-instrumentalist and vocalist, infamous for his work with the definitive Black Metal/Extreme Symponic group EMPEROR and the Avant-Garde project PECCATUM, and a solo artist since 2006.

Vegard took up the piano when he was seven, and started playing the guitar at the age of ten. Having met an adherent in Tomas Haugen, better known as Samoth, Ihsahn formed a Death Metal group Thou Shalt Suffer, where they recorded two demos. Ihsahn would later come back to the project in 2000 in order to record a neo-classical/ambient album "Somnium" under its name. Ihsahn's most commercially successful work remains with EMPEROR, with which he defined the sound of the second wave of Black Metal in such classics as "In the Nightside Eclipse" and "Anthems to the Welkin at Dusk". EMPEROR's latest releases, particularly the swan song "Prometheus - The Discipline of Fire & Demise", lean towards a more progressive direction (the songwriting for the last album was entirely done by Ihsahn). EMPEROR ceased to exist in 2001 when the members decided to break up and concentrate on other projects. This allowed Ihsahn to explore his experimental tendencies more freely in the Avant-Garde group PECCATUM, which he formed with his wife Heidi Tveitan (known as Ihriel). Together the two have recorded three full-length albums and two EPs, "Lost in Reverie" being their most critically acclaimed effort.



As PECCATUM split up in March, 2006, Ihsahn started to work on his first solo album "The Adversary", the release of which was initially mentioned not long after EMPEROR dissolved. All of the instruments were masterfully played by the man himself, aside from drums, for which purpose Ihsahn hired the virtuoso Asgeir Mickelson (BORKNAGAR, SPIRAL ARCHITECT). In addition, the vocals on the track "Homecoming" are done by by Kristoffer "Garm" Rygg known for his work with ARCTURUS and ULVER.

"The Adversary" combines influences from progressive rock, classical and heavy metal, as well as Tveitan's rich experience in the Black Metal field, and is a all-around mature effort. The album is recommended to all fans of Extreme Progressive Metal. Ihsahn currently considers writing a follow-up to the album, as well as finding musicians to reproduce the songs in a live setting.
