"It's kind of absurd really. I never thought people would love us the way they do. Well, the time has come. We are reforming and working on a new album which will be out late summer/early fall of 2012. It will be our first release as a band in many years. Stay tuned for updates." There you have it.

| _______________________________ [Apr 1,2012 1:00pm - Burnsy ""] But I'm 12 and trivium is my favorite black metal band. |
| ____________________________________ [Apr 1,2012 1:37pm - trioxin_245 ""] Does Ihsahn still have a column in guitar world? |

| _____________________________ [Apr 2,2012 7:39am - Yeti ""] i do not have high hopes for this. it's going to be another Ihsahn record, and the last one was pretty awful. hopefully it's an April Fool's joke. |

| ____________________________________ [Aug 3,2013 3:50pm - Dan HAMMER ""] can sonic pulse get on this? |
| _____________________________________ [Aug 4,2013 12:40am - Randy_marsh ""] So if samoth is in the band is it going to take on the old-mid career style writing or is it going to be chillsaun writing everything? |
| _______________________________________ [Aug 4,2013 12:53am - Zircon rules ""] randy marsh is retarded |
| ______________________________________________ [Aug 4,2013 3:01pm - RTTP CLEANUP CREW JR ""] Bump up bump up |

| _____________________________ [Aug 6,2013 3:17am - wow ""] F.O.A.D. |
| ___________________________________ [Aug 6,2013 8:45am - arilliusbm ""] ACCORDING TO SAMOTH: -Nightside 20th anniversary, Faust on drums Wacken open air, album in its entirety -NO NEW ALBUM -No world wide tour -Just a couple of fests next year mdf most likely, I would assume. |
| _______________________________ [Aug 6,2013 9:10am - Burnsy ""] Awesome |
| _____________________________ [Aug 6,2013 9:47am - Yeti ""] awesome. they played most of Nightside in 07. MDF will be a challenge financially, but if Emperor plays I don't think I can pass that up. |
| ____________________________________________ [Aug 6,2013 11:20am - AndrewBastard NLI ""] So rad |
| ______________________________ [Aug 6,2013 5:25pm - Kool ""] :MYKING: |
| _______________________________________________ [Aug 29,2013 3:41pm - EMPEROR NUMBER 1 FAN ""] Maryland death fest just confirmed that emperor is NOT playing next year. |
| ________________________________ [Aug 29,2013 4:31pm - Spence ""] I'd laugh so hard if Emperor ended up on Progpower USA instead alongside flowery bands, considering Ihsahn himself said he enjoyed himself more at Progpower than he had at any other fests in years. |
| _____________________________________________________ [Aug 29,2013 5:17pm - grilled_dickcheese_sandwich ""] Remember Peccatum? That's a rhetorical question. We all know you were 5 years old when Peccatum was around. |
| ________________________________ [Aug 29,2013 7:09pm - Spence ""] Always preferred Arcturus, personally. (Ihsahn solo is really the only Ihsahn project I like) Age isn't relevant. I doubt you were alive when In The Court of the Crimson King was released, doesn't mean you can't love it. |
| ______________________________________ [Aug 29,2013 8:09pm - the_reverend ""] MDF POSTED THAT EMPEROR IS NOT PLAYING. |
| _____________________________________________ [Aug 29,2013 10:30pm - MikeOvDecrepitvde ""] What's Arcturus got to do with Ihsahn related projects? Samoth played guitars on Constellation but Ihsahn's only involvement was vocals on Radical Cut, which, is one of the best tracks on The Sham Mirrors... |
| ______________________________ [Aug 30,2013 9:40am - Yeti ""] oh are you talking about Carpathian Forest? I've always preferred At The Gates myself. |
| _______________________________________ [Aug 30,2013 12:19pm - goatcatalyst ""] Spence said:Always preferred Arcturus, personally. (Ihsahn solo is really the only Ihsahn project I like) And I've always preferred women, myself. But you, my little chickadee... |
| ___________________________________ [Aug 30,2013 12:42pm - chrisREX ""] Radical Cut > anything Ihsahn has done on his solo records. That song rips. |
