Emperor - The Loss and Curse of Reverence (Official Music Video)

[@crrodriguez]

For those not old enough..This played on MTV. let that sink in.. it was epic.

[@lv426tb]

I remember watching this video on much music's loud that came on Saturday's night here in florida back in the late 90s.

[@J_sec]

Headbanger's Ball, baby!! The raison d'être of my formative years. Quoth Ren, "and I wouldn't have it any other way!"

[@mzprx76]

i also remember the CoF's From the Cradle to Enslave UNCENSORED video on Headbanger's Ball. my eyes almost fell out when i watched it. oh, those were the days. seems like i'm old AF..

[@Miquiya]

I've been listening to black metal for almost 12 years, started out with the typical norwegian bands and I've pretty much explored every single corner the genre has to offer. From the more easy listening symphonic bands, to the more complex, progressive ones. From the rawest, most hateful antichristian bands to the hypnotizing atmospheric ones. And yet I still come back to this particular song from time to time, it has something powerful that I can't quite put into words. It gives that mystic, evil, yet depressive feeling this particular style of black metal is known for. Not just plain, mindless blasting like most people think of the genre as.

[@JohnMacDonut]

[@PeaceDweller]

I'm 40 and I have been listening to Black Metal for almost 25 years and I agree. No matter how good the new bands are or new takes on the genre, I always find myself revisiting the classics from Bathory, Emperor, Burzum, Mayhem and Darkthrone. The classics simply cannot be beat.

_...Bought the CD in 97 and the clip was included with the disc, it was the coolest thing ever!_

[@patchworktech9989]

Yeah I like how they just took the Video Clip off the Disc and put it on a black background and uploaded it.

[@deathmagic1208]

Yes! I had this disc back then and put it in my computer after reading the notes and I was shocked! It was so awesome! 💀🤘

[@ExtremeMusicPromotion]

YESSS! The Enhanced CD

[@fabiansb]

I've bought too in 1997. Anthems... it was my first black metal album. Then I think I'd reached out for Mayhem's The mysteriis dom sathanas... I can't remember then, but forsure Anthems was my initiation... Epic eras.

[@HolySpiritIsSatanOfSinDethHell]

'97 Even all the bands believed in their shit, they projected it, it was immersive. Now being so is seen as bad or even a reason for ridicule, while they dance on tiktok. This was epic to watch on TV.

[@jhonbeltrannovoa8603]

The first time I saw this video was in '97 on "EL HUEVO", a pub bar in Valparaíso (Chile). There was a huge screen on mute, and they were playing some other music (I can't recall it right now). As it progress the video I could recognize Samoth and Ihsahn, but I wasn't completely sure that THAT was an EMPEROR video. It was broadcast on MTV Latin America and the credits appears at the end of the video, only then I realized that I' ve just watch one of the first black metal videos on mute while listening some other crappy music. Obviously I was in that pub bar invited for a girl I liked at the time.
