I'm looking for someone to review the IHSAHN albums (metal and orchestral version). This is our first time receiving albums from this PR, and I'd like to approach it as a courtesy. If anyone here is interested in taking on the challenge, we would greatly appreciate it.

If no one else will take it, I will. I do have a lot of reviews to do, but I can squeeze it in.

La Suspendida is a monodrama that explores the liminal space between life and death where the protagonist, Maria Elena Milagros, finds herself suspended after passing away. The opera features a combination of jazz, new music, metal, and contemporary music, and it tells the story of Maria Elena's quest for self-discovery and empowerment through a series of encounters with the dead. Late 2023 saw KITLER and ANDROMEDA ANARCHIA provide a glimpse of the opera contained with the EP, The Suspended Woman.

Great! Now, you've got those three plus Ihsahn in your folder.
By the way, when I downloaded the Liv Kristine album for you, I noticed it's a re-release with 2 CDs, I hope that's OK.
