Ihsahn's first and quite recent (april 2006) album called The Adversary, closes with this ten minute piece. I don't know really enough music Ihsahn has made or projects he has been part of yet, but I can say that Ihsahn combines some of the best elements of Emperor's Prometheus: The Discipline Of Fire & Demise and some stuff by Peccatum.

The track starts with a piano, accompanied by some strings. After a minute or two, some guitar work comes in. It somewhat reminded me of the beginning of The Eruption, but The Pain Is Still Mine is less haunting then Prometheus's opening track.

Throughout the track, the style fades from black metal to opera to modern classical and moves between them a few times. The strings return, the piano return. Only the drums are quite absent, compared to the rest of the album.

Ihsahn uses three of his main vocal styles: his clean voice (not really often, but still, like on The Moribund People), his clean opera voice (like on most of the tracks of Prometheus, like The Prophet) and his death shriek (also often used on Prometheus). Even a softer kind of grunt can be heard. In the last minute, in which the title is sung for the first time, Ihsahn uses his voice in a brilliant way.

I my opinion, this is one of the best and most epic metal songs of the last months.]]>
