Video: Ihsahn Performs New Song “My Heart is of the North” at Heavy Montreal

Ihsahn just refuses to do a proper tour of North America, that cheeky bastard. I mean, I get it, the costs of such an undertaking are high, our government is notoriously shitty with work visas, it’s a crowded tour market, and so on and so forth. But jeez, Ihsahn, the demand is here! Come come come! Pleeeeeeeeease!

Until said tour happens we’ll have to live vicariously through fan-filmed video shot at one-off festival’s like this past weekend’s Heavy Montreal. Metal Injection’s Frank Godla grabbed video of Ihsahn’s set, and best of all he captured an entire brand new song called “My Heart is of the North.” The song sounds great on first listen, as does Ihsahn’s new Leprous-less backing band.

Where’s that new album Ihsahn teased for 2015? The clock is ticking. If that doesn’t come to fruition hopefully we’ll see something in early 2016, but I’m still holding out hope.
