Emperor - Sworn

[@DigitalLogos]

the guitar playing in this song is an excellent example of why Ihsahn is my favorite guitarist ever...

[@kingofthenoobs]

A lot of people seem to not like this song, but I think it's got some badass riffs. The album version mix sounds good too, with the keyboards more in the front. Probably one of the more technical Emperor songs

[@brille666]

Ihsahn ist eine übermensch!!! He has great screams, a great clean vocal and he does it all while playing some bad ass guitar! I think it is time that the whole world bows rightfully down to him! Hei og hopp, Norge ruler for helvete!!!

[@BringerOfTruth123]

[@shawnl91]

[@BlazinAphattyBlunt]

best black metal band ever to exist

[@noditschi]

They have no alikes, simply unique!

[@DeathcoreDude]

fucccck yeah, sickest band to hit the planet.

[@Elbouco]

Great band, great song, nothing else to say. (Hum there's nothing "techno or commercial in IX Equilibrium by the way

[@Cannibal660]

I don't even like emperor/black metal but this is song is really, really good

[@fraget11]

what did Ihsahn do to his hair man that's totaly killing the regal vampiric look he built up.

[@picfabio]

[@lecterrkr2]

[@Tecate73]

Gods of Black Metal

[@heywtfayla]

@fuguetta2203 I think a lot of black metal sucks, but some of the original Norwegian bands (Mayhem, Emperor, Burzum, Immortal) and Bathory (Swedish) all released some great sounding and original music. Also I don't understand what you mean by "crap... just noise", because all music is technically noise, and what sounds crap to you might sound great to someone else.

[@EmperorHelix]

true Black Metal, along with Immortal. Dimmu Borgir may not be "true" black metal, but Symphonic Black Metal. but they're awesome any which way. and Dark Funeral is also great.

[@UrethralCarnage]

Ihsahn was bold in 99;)

[@BlackFreenky]

2:29 :)

[@Sartori]

Emperor > 100 times darkthrone & burzum. Nothing I have heard or seen has shaken my opinion that Emperor is, simply put, the best BM there's ever been. I suppose it's a matter of opinion though.

[@Dakedoom]

they only wore corpsepaint before the first album was released

[@BlackFreenky]

2:28

[@rowley66]

ihsahn=black metal genious

[@Dakedoom]

it's weird seeing Trym with long hair

[@xxhellspawnedxx]

Agreed. But a receeding hairline probably made him shave it off. Even though its long, really long hair or not looks rediculous when it stops at the middle of your head. Looks good the way it is as well, in my opinion, he's a man who induces respect and awe, alltogether.

[@ghoulofmetal]

emperor*

[@atkm2891]

wow, they play much faster live, like 40 tmp +

[@zatoth13]

i dunno-let me check the back of your head for an e icon...

[@ghoulofmetal]

hail thai epmeror

[@Mahrac]

emperor.. if richard wagner would meet and hang around with bathory.

[@Claizen]

Bold? Bald?

[@CrossMeFool]

WTF?No wayyyy first of all Emperor fucking rules they are my fav band but Darkthrone is a true black metal band, they are great

[@Daenoxiis]

I perfer Burzum's instrumental work because of the vocals, actually, also his drumming is horrible.

[@halostalker]

go play with your hotwheels...plz...

[@leatherneck818]

9 people like gangsta rap..... : /

[@MathijsIgnoul]

hahaha, EmperorHelix -> learn what black metal is before you nag about it.
