March 12, 2009, 15 years ago
Vocalist/guitarist IHSAHN (ex-EMPEROR) performed his first ever gig as a solo artist, supporting OPETH at Rockefeller in Oslo on Tuesday night, March 10th. His setlist was as follows: 'Invocation', 'Called By The Fire', 'Scarab', 'Emancipation', 'Unhealer', 'Misanthrope', 'Thus Spake The Nightspirit'.
Opeth's set list included: 'Heir Apparent', 'Ghost Of Perdition', 'Godhead's Lament', 'The Leper Affinity', 'Credence', 'Hessian Peel', 'Closure', 'Night & The Silent Water', 'The Lotus Eater'. Encore: 'Deliverance.'
As previously reported, Ihsahn was scheduled to support Opeth for the majority of shows on their forthcoming Norwegian tour, but due to "technical and practical difficulties at many of the smaller venues, and it has proven near impossible to run the necessary production."
Ihsahn commented: “The situation is unfortunate as I have really been looking forward to this tour and put a lot of effort in preparations. Still, the practical difficulties at many of the venues would only compromise the conditions for both bands and audience so one needs to be realistic."
