EMPEROR
The Almighty of the northern realms, the black conqueror of our souls, the Emperor that went deep inside our consciousness.
That was the band that blasted our faces in the ear lies 90’s, changing the Black Metal into something greater, spiritual, symphonic, pure art transcending from the metal or the music in general.
You can figure it out some young people listening to Death Metal and early Black Metal stuff discovering the first time “I’m the Black Wizard”. A feeling of cold darkness took them directly to the old Norwegian woods. The Nature, the Ancient Ones, the Earth, sung together through the hordes of Ihsahn, Samoth, Tchort, Faust (Mortiis and others). The rest is history and probably you know it. If not don’t lose one minute and search it!

My generation was totally influenced by the band.
“In the Nightside Eclipse”, with the pure black metal feeling, great music, lyrics and artwork.
“Anthems to the Welkin at Dusk” with some of the greatest metal songs written ever. You can imagine yourself in the middle of a grandiloquent temple, with the band conducting a freezing metal ceremony!.
“IX Equilibrium”, another masterpiece, different from the others but without losing music ability and complexity, making richness your emotional world.
“Prometheus…” the last studio chapter, interesting but far from the above detailed trilogy.
“Emperial Live Ceremony”, I love it. Sometimes live albums are truly boring but this one has the magic environment that only Emperor could create. It compiles some of the best songs, “Inno a Satana”, “Thus Spake the Night spirit" , “Sworn”, “An elegy of Icarus” “Night of the gravels souls”, what magnificence.
They changed my life through their music. I can not finish without mentioning one of my favourites choral work: “Night spirit, night spirit, nights spirit, embrace my soul ooooohhh!
