Ihsahn has released a stream of his brand new track Wake.
It’s been taken from his upcoming seventh solo album Àmr, which is set to arrive on May 4 via Candlelight/Spinefarm Records.
In February, the Emperor mainman premiered the video for Arcana Imperii exclusively with Metal Hammer, which featured a guest appearance from Opeth guitarist Fredrik Akesson.
Speaking about the follow-up to 2016’s Arktis, Ihsahn praised the contribution of long-time drummer Tobias Ørnes Andersen.
He said: “It’s just lovely to work with Tobias. I know that he can technically handle anything I throw at him.
"But, more importantly, when I say, ‘I want this to feel like the vacuum between words in a conversation with Hannibal Lecter,’ he’ll say, ‘Yeah, I get that!’
“For him it’s not about showing off, it’s always about relating to the vibe.”
