Storm Seeker (album)

Knowing I am drawn to the power of the dark side, I decided to include lighter topics into the mix this time to separate 'Storm Seeker' from 'Sideshow Symphonies': 'The Blackmobile' about Mopar and 'Aces' about gambling are the result.

Commented ICS Vortex: "This song [The Blackmobile] was written way back when I still felt black metal was dangerous.

"[2] "Storm Seeker" will be released in Europe as initial limited-edition digipak, 180-gram LP and as a digital download.

According to a press release, the CD "takes the musical elements from ICS Vortex's 10-plus years of experience with Dimmu Borgir as well as the legacy of the classic bands with whom he is still active (Borknagar, Arcturus, and Lamented Souls), topping things off with his signature clean vocals in order to make 'Storm Seeker' become a perfectly balanced axe, whether a song is cutting fast, or dicing slow."

"Storm Seeker" features appearances by ICS Vortex's former Borknagar bandmate Asgeir Mickelson on drums and Terje "Cyrus" Andersen (Susperia, Dimmu Borgir) on some guitar solos.
