Ihsahn Comments On Playing ProgPower USA Festival

Former Emperor vocalist/guitarist Ihsahn will make his first American solo appearance at ProgPower USA, scheduled for September 14th - 17th at Center Stage in Atlanta. Confirmed by festival organizer Glenn Harveston, Ihsahn replaces Arcturus on the Friday evening lineup of the popular music festival.

Ihsahn comments, "I am very excited to get the opportunity to play at ProgPower. My backing band, Leprous, played the festival last year and had a fantastic time. Given the nature of my solo-material, I believe this festival will be a great place to present it live. I have already performed at several festivals/shows in Europe in 2009/2010 and will do a few more this year.”

IHSAHN’s performance is expected to include selections from all three solo albums – "The Adversary" (2006), "Angl" (2008) and his most recent, "After" (2010).
