[edit] Biography

Ihriel was first introduced to music after taking singing and music lessons for many years. In 1998 she formed Peccatum with her husband Ihsahn and brother Lord Pz. Shortly after in 1999 Peccatum was signed to Candlelight Records and her first Peccatum album Strangling from Within was released. This was soon followed by an American and European tour.

In 2000 Ihriel performed at the Mystic Art Festival in Poland to support her next two releases, the Inferno Festival in her homeland of Norway in 2001. It was also in 2001 that Ihriel was signed to Jester Records for her solo project Star of Ash. The project's first album, called Iter.Viator, was released in 2002, and it featured various guest artists. Among them, members of Emperor and Ulver.[1]

In early March 2006 Peccatum announced their end leaving more time for their own individual projects. In October 2006 Ihriel announced a collaboration with Japanese author Kenji Siratori. He will provide the lyrics to Star of Ash's next album.[1]

Ihriel claimed to work well musically in a husband-wife situation and currently lives in Notodden, Norway.[citation needed]
