Ihsahn – After

Review# 173

Ihsahn is such an amazing talent and After is just such a perfect example of why he is one of the most respected and revered names in Black Metal and beyond. Changing to a more progressive sound but still well rooted in Black Metal and also bringing on Shining saxophonist Jørgen Munkeby really took the album off in an amazing direction. While still dark it almost feels fantastic and the sudden intro of a sax really helps built the fantasy element and sound. This is hands down one of the best albums of 2010.
