As the Good Book Says...: As mentioned below under Gratuitous Greek, "Astera ton proinon" quotes Isaiah 14:12-14.

Boléro Effect
 Ihsahn (Music) / int_3096c919
comment
Boléro Effect: A few of his songs do this. "The Pain Is Still Mine" crescendos four times, though only the opening and the ending keep the same melodic motif throughout the crescendo; the two crescendi in the middle of the song keep changing melodies, in what effectively serves as the song's bridge (though it's overall too complicated to qualify for verse-chorus-bridge format).Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })

Audio Adaptation: Strangely, he is the third Norwegian metal musician to record a song based on Edgar Allan Poe's poem "Alone". It's almost become a Running Gag at this point. The other two, in chronological order, were Arcturus and Green Carnation.

Black Metal: Though much more so in his work with Emperor than in his post-Emperor work. Nonetheless, there is still some black metal influence on much of Ihsahn's solo work.

ZigZagged
 Ihsahn (Music) / int_c3db1619
comment
"Undercurrent" is a weird Zig-Zagged variant, because (to oversimplify the song's structure slightly) it starts out with a metallic version of one of its motifs, transitions into a clean version of a second motif without drums, then introduces the drums, then transitions to a third motif (which is much more metallic), reprises the opening motif, goes back to the third motif, explores some other melodic elements, and then reprises the second motif in a metallic fashion before finally recapitulating the opening theme - so the song as a whole is an example of the Bolero Effect, but the material arguably wanders too much for any individual passage to qualify as a straight example.
