Album Description
Available in:
"Das Seelenbrechen" is the fifth studio solo album by Emperor frontman Ihsahn. Released on 21 October 2013 on the Candlelight Records label. The album was described by Ihsahn as a "deliberate sidestep" that used improvisation as the basis for his most diverse recording to date.
User Album Review
Das Seelenbrechen is not what you're expecting from Ihsahn and follows no trend in his music. While in the process of recording Das Seelenbrechen, Ihsahn pointed out that he wanted to go into the studio and just try to convey moods more than having a structured album set up for recording. It's an ambitious idea that's flawlessly pulled off in a multitude of styles, some of which Ihsahn hasn't explored in his previous records. It's the incorporation of pianos, electronics, orchestras, and essentially everything that isn't your traditional metal band sound in the mix… and it's amazing. Haunting, of course, but amazing nonetheless. Even experiments like "M" are flat out amazing, where quiet spoken word all over a sudden gives way to a Pink Floyd guitar solo over an Opeth backing for a solid four or so minutes.
In essence, Ihsahn's Das Seelenbrechen is nothing you're expecting but everything you've ever wanted out of his music. There's no "complexity" that takes a few listens to "get" on this album or anything like that; one spin and you're hooked. --- metalinjection.net
