2016 release, the sixth album from one of the original architects of black metal. Few artists in modern heavy music have created such an extraordinary and unique body of work as Ihsahn. Having refined and redefined black metal with the legendary Emperor, Norway's foremost musical extremist spent the last decade establishing himself as a fearless and wildly idiosyncratic artist, but even by his own standards, Ihsahn's Arktis is a bold and mind-blowing step into the unknown.
