Stream the New Ihsahn Song “Hiber”

Ihsahn has a whole lot of interesting things to say about his new album Das Seelenbrechen, a big musical departure from his previous two albums but no less excellent a work. I spoke with the man himself on the phone yesterday from his home in Norway, and I’ll be sharing that conversation with you all next week.

For now, check out the new song “Hiber” from the album below. It’s definitely not the most out there song Das Seelenbrechen has on tap, but it’s certainly got some of those elements in it and it’ll give you a taste of what the album has in store. It starts out fairly typical of Ihsahn’s solo work (if saxophone can be labeled “typical,” but in Ihsahn’s case there’s precedent), but quickly devolves into an all out cacophony before coalescing back into one towards the end. Check it out:

Das Seelenbrechen comes out on Candlelight on October 22nd and can be pre-ordered here.
