Emperor - I Am The Black Wizards (Wacken 2006)

[@T3HW1ZARD]

remember when this was on the front page of youtube

[@perandersson3126]

!

[@deathndoom.]

thank you guys for existing.

[@Risenshinenfall]

I am them... I AM THEM!!! - that part always gives me goose bumps. Awesome stuff.

[@Poupoulou]

I was there, front row on the left

[@JAD.19]

Do you still listen to emperor?

[@lghzlhglzxdh]

This song, is among the greatest black metal songs...maybe even the best out there. Soo many people listen to this song and then find out how melodic black metal can be....not about Satan and all that other crap. It's about creating atmosphere that is soothing but yet so extreme. Emperor are legend's!!

[@whitelighter27club]

My favorite black metal band. I've been listening to Emperor since I was 13. I'm 30 now.

[@musicmine3000]

I don't know HOW Ihsahn does vocals like that! I've been trying for so long to figure it out, and no matter how much I warm up, I can't get it loud enough without gagging. His throat must simply be rawhide.

[@Oplexicon]

This is one of the many reasons why Emperor is and always will be my favorite band of ALL time!

[@hamtheman222]

i love how ihsahn always say "i think you know this"

[@hzj79]

emperor's split with enslaved was the best thing that was ever released by both bands.

[@DoctorRobertBobby]

sir, im gonna have to insist you get off the internet.

[@kingofhell1972]

One of the best black metal songs ever written. I love the riffs!

[@theend665]

The ending nearly moved me to tears. Emperor truly left the realms of this planet for this song live.

[@NecroLust1349]

If Ihsahn is perhaps reading our comments, I would like him to know that he's giving me the inspiraton to attend the University of Oslo and drive forward a black metal career in Norway. I may be a small Latin girl from Cuba who can play guitar, but something is telling me I have the Black Wizards on my side:) Thankyou, Ihsahn and Emperor for giving the black metallers 'In The Nightside Eclipse'

[@Apacolyptic]

IT's amazing how black metal is SO fuckin huge and notorious to ALOT of ppl, and yet ALOT of MORE people don't even know it exists It's amazing One of the best Emperor songs!

[@oujisan]

loved listening to them back in the 00s

[@xTheclax]

First time I ever heard this song, I wanted to weep. Fucking beautiful piece of music. I love emperor!!

[@Zorgon2]

Shows great skill that they can play a song like this one live, it's amazing.

[@pp99073]

I can listen to the main riff over and over again for a whole day and not getting tired of it

[@nowwisige]

This is one of the best live performances I've ever seen, on-screen or off..

[@horsehead00]

I was there, I crossed the planet to get there. It was worth it. Before a mighty EMPEROR, there up came!! It's great to see so many people recognise brilliance.

[@616TheBeast616]

This deserves to be on the front page. Cheers to YT for acknowledging great music!

[@Trashed33]

I was at this show and it was bloody awesome! I agree with those who say that Emperor sounds even better live!

[@kataklystik]

I love this song, so fast and still melodic. It's the song that got me into listening to black metal. At first it was so strange and different from the other forms of metal I listened to but after a few listens I got the atmosphere.

[@flatpat]

No other music genre can compete with this. Proof that heavy Metal is the greatest music EVER invented.

[@rene1OOO3]

i need to see them live. i will make it a must before i die.

[@odiumhumanigeneri616]

Probably one of the greatest, musicians/bands to have ever existed.

[@FLIPPITYFLOOP]

Emperor...one of the main bands that got me into the genre.... I wish they would reform. I want to see them so bad! But hey I got into them after they broke up.... I'm 17 now and I was only listening to stuff like AC/DC when they broke up and didn't even know what black metal was at the time! I wish I did.... Hails from Canada!

[@stighelmer1534]

Emperor is and has always been the best black metal band you will ever hear!!!!!!!!!

[@brokensoul70]

I remember getting In The Nightside Eclipse when it was first released, I still have the vinyl. This album stood out even back then, there was no other like it at the time. Today it still remains one of my all time favorites and I still feel the same impact as I did when I first got it 15 years ago back in 1994.

[@bubblytar]

THANNK YOU SO MUCH! from reading your comment i feel alot better about this. im the same way. i just like how the music is. i am purely christian but im ok with people having their own religions even if it attracts evil. i just love the music. especially emperor. these guys r pretty cool.

[@MaestroJericho]

ihsahn has awesome stage aura

[@Hyperfluxe]

This is the song that got me into Metal altogether. Some guy was trying to get me into Metal by listening to Slipknot, I hated it, and I found this instead. That was the best day of my life.

[@Beridze1994]

Watching full video of this Wacken concert in midnight 5 o clock its amazing !! emperor is emperor !

[@fullMetaLxMantis]

i have only been listening to this band for a few months and they dont cease to blow my fucking mind apart. great music indeed

[@Daenoxiis]

As the musicians get older it feeds the fuel for the fire of black metal to burn on. They skill kick as much ass now as they did back in the 90s.

[@spiderman5z]

black metal, death metal, and thrash metal r the best kinds of music ever!

[@NyfeMusic]

Wow I am the Black Wizard is a featured youtube video; never thought i'd see the day lol

[@Nefertari2]

I have shivers from this.... Excellent!

[@Oxyaxion]

The intro riff is just legendary, pur merveille.

[@mpersia]

Both Ihsahn & Samoth lay down some thunderous guitar riffs for this song! Emperor is LEGEND!

[@MountieFromHell]

I haven't listened to Emperor in forever. Pretty cool that this is featured on KZbin, but it's too bad only people who appreciate this genre will upvote this video. I AM THEEEEEM

[@msfit2btied]

Awesome! Thanx for uploading...

[@MrMaggas]

One of the best intros i ever heard!

[@JustinBaker2567]

The intro riff is even more aggressive than the recording....thats badass!

[@BabaHangedOS]

What a great song, Emperor's brilliance is unmatched, only Death may face the Emperor in an everlasting battle!

[@cantoiii9]

THIS is on Google home page?!?! I'm actually quite trilled Emperor is getting exposure, AWESOME!

[@alexyorkshots]

Best Black Metal song ever, written by the best Black Metal band ever, giving their best performance ever. End of discussion. Hail Emperor!

[@Filosofem2008]

I love this song! The Split Ep with Enslaved was the best Emperor Album ever!

[@xor444]

Grats! i remember when i first listened to Emperor... you probably will too.

[@zaytsev13]

A truly great performance

[@LunaIthil]

emperor is simply amazing.

[@SSaavedra52]

they are sooooooooo awsome live!

[@heywtfayla]

I used to feel uneasy listening to Black Metal at first too, but I got over it.

[@therealWilytank]

Emperor is one of those bands that I regret not going to any of their live performances before they split.

[@Nagl1981]

this track blows me away, the ending is unreal

[@maro313131]

No.1 of Black Metal track.Masterpiece!!

[@Mendelbrak]

This is one of the few cases where the live version is of better quality than the CD version. Now I can appreciate that badass riff even more.

[@Mrpetlin]

EMPEROR...just a word but so powerful...aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

[@Samael1349]

The mighty Emperor. my favorite hymn. is this.

[@WheehW]

This may be the greatest thing I've ever seen.

[@junkyard31909]

i can't stop watching this video.

[@BlackMesaSecurity]

this is from the live cast. Next , though, they will be releasing it in DVD and CD form called Live Inferno. If I'm not mistaken. Plus I think it will have other live show too. Google Live Inferno.

[@Maidenhead1990]

Emperor will live on. Forever.

[@NecroLust1349]

@Ihsahn777 That's fantastic! If Ihsahn were reading this conversation, he would be glad to have been an influence in your career. I hope metal can do for you what it has done for the bands who make us go deaf. I hope to start a BM band when I move to Scandinavia, so your comment is driving me more to achieve my dream. Thank you, fellow black metaller (or William), I hope one day I can watch your work at Wacken or Hole in the Sky:) -Jordan 'Jørn'

[@WolfCriesofWinterKingdom86]

Happy 35th Birthday Ihsahn! Hornz up!!!

[@WolfCriesofWinterKingdom86]

45 now...

[@Nattens767]

I didn't expect Emperor to play this well when I was at this fest, but my fellow Norsemen proved me wrong.

[@CameronClapp10]

Truly a World Class band!!

[@kritspoherson]

GOdamn, I can remember listening to this shit back in 1994 when it came out on century media. man this brings back memories, old immortal, darkthrone, satyricon, mayhem,burzum, dissection, all the oldschool goodies.

[@gravityblast-f3q]

Thanks, bro.

[@Joetherottinghead]

EMPEROR IS ONE OF THE BEST BLACK METAL BANDS EVER!!!!!!

[@duvexy]

Yeah they are one of the bands that got me into Black Metal. Them, Dimmu and Satyricon and Dissection.

[@exactinmidget92]

whene it come to bands like this i ask my self " why did u ever like cradle of filth"

[@DarrkAngel420]

Probably the best band I've seen live.

[@marguedas]

emperor 4 ever...long live to the Emperor!!

[@Arcty26]

this song brings so much emotions :O hail emperor

[@Beta4Life]

Emperor on the front page, never thought I would see the day!

[@VegaZen123]

🙌🙌 Emperor 🙌🙌

[@Mephiskratine]

this is the sound of perfection

[@doppz]

13 years later and his vocals are still sick

[@SSaavedra52]

Norway is where my heart belongs!

[@megabodom121]

@oontgrad no it was originated in England from alittle band called Venom

[@mapeczou]

so perfect!

[@LENIN990]

WOW i was looking for new music, and i found it!!!

[@guitarfreak1592]

Black metal on the front page? Made my day! \m/

[@SuperMetalmanic666]

I wish I lived in Germany, they get all the good concerts.

[@ForcesOfOdin]

My life changed when I accidentally recieved a black sabbath double live album. It changed again when my freind gave me this album. Emperor never beat In the Nightside Eclipse, but I hail them because this material is just so F'ng majestic and awesome. This is what black metal is really about.

[@kruksog]

Ihsahn is beast. Love the Gwar style shoulder spikes.

[@sk8freak3000]

dude they've been around for 5 years and i don't think t hey will fade away in six months --

[@doolb666]

absolute perfection

[@csehszlovakze]

@lukemanv0 yeah, the EP was recorded at Studio S december '92.

[@Hverglemer]

amazing song!

[@RitesOfOnyx]

These guys are so fucking amazing. I'm glad that played these reunion gigs...even if just for a while. Wish I could have seen them live. Heh...you can see Samoth's "Zyklon" emblem on his guitar in one frame.

[@Darrylizer1]

InvocationxCitizen you're one lucky sob. I unfortunately don't live anywhere near LA and NY is a bit too far. Should have made the trip anyway, I doubt they'll come to the states again.

[@RidzWan75pro]

Simply Loving It...

[@DigitalLogos]

yeah, Live Inferno is amazing! I have yet to receive my copy of the Wacken DVD yet, though, but it's bound to be outstanding as well! :D

[@TonyHookedonVanlife]

my favorite Emperor song! *fave*

[@LyricsArFun]

[@tiagostoner]
