Emperor - An Elegy Of Icaros

[@turpasauna]

The clean singing is beautiful. Edit: the drummer needs more love, he nicely supports others while sounding excellent.

[@joshuathompson8372]

You can tell they don't mess with the music during production so much, because this sounds so much like the studio track...

[@comteludwig2674]

Masters of Black Metal

[@Downsider24]

Anyone notice at the end Ihsahn is crying? or is that just sweat? No matter... I'd feel overwhelming emotion standing in front of that epic crowd, performing an excellent song.

[@loudnphx9986]

one of the best drummers on Earth.

[@kmerk000]

Mesmerising! Just how this dissonant, chaotic parts changes to a melodic and harmonic! Black metal art!

[@TroutLizard.]

2:37 my fuck…I’ll never get enough of that riff.. everything about it is just too perfect could go on forever I’d never get enough of it 😩

[@phoquelemonde]

I am the challenger of gravityyyyyyyyyyy =D yaaaaAAAAAAAAA!!!! Emperor is an extraordinary band, my favorite! =) it's technical, epic, beauty, hate, poetry, melodic, cold riffs...perfection!

[@thomass.586]

my favorite song of big ole Icon E. and they nailed it flawlessly, even better than on the album

[@jefersonjeff8538]

A voz do ihsahn e do einar é a coisa mais bela,separadas ou combinadas,melhor banda de BM ever \____/

[@federicomangalavite6044]

This is the best black metal band ever, every single cd has magic, Ihsahn is a genious.

[@bigspence404]

I second this statement.

[@javiermedina5313]

agreed, this band has more than the rest of black metal bands, melody, complex harmony, orchestration

[@rebel1766]

I agree.

[@hv1225]

They have one great album. Then a couple alright ones. Mostly they have been feeding off of festival money and foregoing any artistic integrity with the band.

[@trouzercoff]

Love this song, the first 58 secs always blows my mind, 'Challenger of Gravity' kinell !

[@Liviu987]

playing guitar,especially complex stuff like emperor's consumes a lot of energy i am sweating every time after i play one of their songs

[@drummerinthepark9641]

At least ye can play their songs.

[@Liviu987]

@@andreafomasidirector You can find the correct tabs in "Scattered Ashes, a Decade of Emperial Wrath" tabbook, this song is included and there are also the "Left hand path" guitar lessons. Maybe I'll post a cover too someday when I won't be busy with office work.

[@knumorvid]

The keyboard player is the lead singer of Leprous

[@turpasauna]

Also this song is clearly important to Ihsahn, he introduces it very gently and overdoes the vocals a bit. No wonder he's tearing up. ❤

[@luis_punisher9045]

this is amazing. For people who say that black metal requires no talent.

[@hugomartinez4742]

All artistic disciplines require talent and practice, and of course there will always be those who, lacking both, dare to be blatantly in it.

The Emperor is dead, long live the Emperor!

Holy shit Einar is freaking out lol

[@6monikl]

Awesome, my favorite song!

[@oliverquirin5639]

+Mónica Loja Oh yes this is amazingly epic

[@clever.dan7]

Sem palavras pra descrever o quanto essa música é incrível..

[@xxhellspawnedxx]

Well, I was there, and Emperor had the best support of any band that festival, so it's not hard to imagine that it swayed them somehow :)

[@samuelmendez7111]

De las rolas más chidas del nonus equilibrium.🤘

[@Hawkeye6822]

Pure awesomness!This one is so mysterious, epic...simply perfect!!!!

[@TheSonsofHorusx]

Masterpiece!!

[@fannychouette]

The best song of this band ...

[@OmniscientVirtuosity]

fannychouette curse.... but this is outstanding as well

[@Gatitasecsii]

I think this is their best song...

[@cradleoftata]

Oh my lords, EMPEROR, my lords lml,

[@OmniscientVirtuosity]

asera delgado garcia hi loca 👋🏽

[@RogueAndroid]

There are BM bands which sought to go beyond the borders set out by earlier Black Metal bands, of which Emperor is one. For me personally, i think Emperor just barely hangs in the balance between being high level Black Metal and a more progressive form of Black Metal.

[@Thelema79]

It was a wonderfull time!! Yeah!! Ave Emperor ...for ever!! \m/

[@onslaughtquinn6302]

the norway Emperor is my only god,i worship them,and love to give them everything

[@Downsider24]

Is it just me, or was Ihsahn getting a little teary at the end? Or was that simply sweat.

[@optimamater8554]

2019 anyone? Fucking masterpiece.

[@optimamater8554]

Long live Ihsahn

[@Mike_Judas_Priest_Kalsek]

Almost 2020 and still loving this band! This live version is epic. Cheers!

[@oliverquirin5639]

Hail to the Emperors!!

[@Necrown]

Ricky Gervais with a beard.

[@itsybitsyzombie]

Sadly they are not. Ihsahn has his solo project going (Ihsahn. Check it out, it's really good). And the bass player and Samoth are in Zyklon together, a death metal band. Last I heard they were on hiatis though.

[@TheTruckdr]

Isahn/Emperor is the shit...AWESOME!!!!

[@FantaFuture92]

Love my Engl PB 2!

Dirk Hennrich who? Lmao

[@LordRapture11]

Whoever posted this obviously didnt capture the full audio. Either the right or the left side of the audio are missing from the vid.

[@matronthorn.official]

03:30 riff commands baby making

[@jfedorcak]

4:00 is Ihsahn balding on the back of his head? Is that why he combs his hair back? Or am I just seeing things? Also, what a fucking amazing song.

[@happyist3719]

omg hes is! fuuuck... its worse for metalhead guys because most want to keep their hair long.. but when THAT happens, you can just kiss goodbye to those windmill days..

[@luis_punisher9045]

So what? he is older, it will happen to most of us anyway

[@jfedorcak]

It's in the back of his head, and he still combs it or has a short ponytail over it, so he's hiding it well.

[@CreatioNNoitcurtseD]

haha i love it at 0:41 when the other dude sings his line just a second too early and ihsahn's like "what the fuck?" then goes back to singin.

[@FlavienMorel]

Actually, he's doing it right. Listen to the album again ;)

[@CreatioNNoitcurtseD]

I've listened to it plenty of times and it just seems a second off to me still haha. At least we agree on emperor as good music!

[@RogueAndroid]

I mean Progressive in the sense that Avantgarde Black Metal is the most progressive form of Black Metal.

[@OnkelTomAngelripper1]

i heard they broke up

[@Goeogoth]

This song stands as proof, that there are tastes for everything, no matter how bad it is, there is always someone that will like it.

[@yakkovski]

are you really calling this song bad

[@zacharydesotelle299]

This song is perhaps one of my favorite by Emperor, and, they're such incredible performers! -- one of the few bands I think are better live than they are on the album. But my one criticism is the keyboardist having paroxysms in the background. Seriously, calm the fuck down dude... he's ruining the entire performance by drawing attention away from the seriousness of the music with his ridiculously contrived headbanging and bizarre facial expressions.

[@spiderman233]

I know he is a bit hyperactive, but maybe he is just having the time of his life and trying to enjoy it.

[@hyramjackson]

jajajaja... the guy is having a good time :p

[@jk6002]

But his voice is amazing!

[@thomass.586]

Come on! The keyboardist banged the hardest of all of them! He rocked like a true RocknRolla
