Album Notes & Community Reviews
Stepping away from the legendary black metal output of Emperor, the Norwegian multi-instrumentalist embraces progressive metal on his solo debut. Classical orchestration and clean vocals are woven through complex, extreme metal riffing, establishing a highly individualized artistic voice. The record pushes the boundaries of extreme music toward a more refined, introspective territory.
