"It's not often that an artist’s solo career outshines the output of their primary band, but as controversial as it might be to say, that’s what Emperor co-founder Ihsahn has done in the eyes of many prog fans. To be fair, he's released twice as many full-length records as Emperor, and listeners looking for a purer black metal ride will probably prefer what they’ve done. Yet, those who’re interested in a significantly more progressive/avant-garde and wide-ranging palette will find Ihsahn to be among the greatest modern prog metal acts period. Rather than become uninspired and predictable, Ihsahn has becomes more of a visionary as the years pass."
