IHSAHN Confirmed To Guest On New JEFF LOOMIS Album
January 24, 2012, 12 years ago
Legendary guitarist JEFF LOOMIS (ex-NEVERMORE) has been in the studio the last few months working on his sophomore solo album, to be released later this year. Since entering the studio, Loomis has revealed a number of notable guests that will be appearing on the release and now, he announces the newest special guest: IHSAHN, formerly of Norwegian black metal band EMPEROR and current solo artist.
Jeff states: "I know most of you are aware that Christine Rhoades is doing some vocals on my album. At first I thought she'd be the only guest singer on the record but then this one song started coming together, it's pretty brutal. I've always wanted to do really, really heavy music and after hearing this, both Aaron and myself thought we needed some crazy, sick singer on it. We just sat around tossing names out for a bit, nothing really was sticking and then Aaron says, 'I got it...Ihsahn' and it was one of those moments where you knew that was the answer all along, it just hadn't been unlocked in your mind yet. Anyway, a few short emails back and forth and we had his vocal track in. It came out amazing. I can't wait for you to hear it. Ihsahn, thanks again, it's an honor to have you on my record."
The new album will be produced by Aaron Smith (7 HORNS 7 EYES), and fans should keep their eyes peeled for previews of developing songs, studio updates and additional details.
