Things have slowed down a bit today, but not for Ihsahn. Before the year was over, he had to make sure you heard a new track of his. And, spoiler, it's fucking fantastic.
Ihsahn announced today that his next full-length album release will be called Arktis, out on March 4th. The album contains 10 new tracks produced by Ihsahn himself at his studio in Notodden, Norway and mixed by Jens Bogren. Ihsahn has posted the second track off the album today, "Mass Darkness" as his holiday gift to you:

Of course, Ihsahn played another new song at Heavy MTL earlier this year called "My Heart is of the North," track 3 on the album.
