Watch the video for Ihsahn’s new single, Twice Born

Ihsahn has unveiled the next two-part instalment of music from his upcoming eighth album.

The black metal titan is set to unveil his self-titled concept record on February 16 via Candlelight, with the release consisting of interlinked metal and symphonic pieces. Today he shares the two versions of Twice Born, which he explains “picks up the conceptual narratives right where the previous single, Pilgrimage To Oblivion, ended.

“Both the metal version of this song and orchestral version will be accompanied by two more videos, continuing the storylines. Musically this song is perhaps slightly more playful than Pilgrimage To Oblivion but follows the same interplay of screams, guitars and orchestra.”

Check out Twice Born below.
