I might as well comment on this review since I just mentioned Ihsahn on the new Enslaved review. This is also one of my favorite albums of 2010. Angl was awesome, too, especially the track with Mikael Akerfeldt, but After really blew me away. I'm always impressed with true experimentation in metal, especially when it actually works. I'd say it works pretty well for Ihsahn. It may be a little out there for some people, but this album is worth a shot or two. At the very least, anyone should be able to appreciate the musicianship. At least…

I can't believe I never replied to this comment. Sorry!

He has two other releases, The Adversary, and Angl. Both are worth your time.

As for his work with Emperor, if you like his current stuff you should start with their last record, Prometheus: The Discipline Of Fire And Demise. It's heavier than his solo stuff but just as whacked out in different ways.

I love the intricacies of A Grave Inversed and I know that's only an introduction. I can tell that this guy has been around the block more than just a few times and I've never heard (or heard of) him before. The fact that he can introduce a saxophone to a music genre that probably has never seen an instrument like that in its life is impressive.
