I love it so much!! This is the essence of black metal! Tracks like this, Moon Over Kara-Shehr, Witches Sabbath, Lord of the Storms, My Empire's Doom.

FANTASTIC! Great to hear some of the older stuff played again!

[@Oplexicon]

[@AntilifeHorde]

all hail the mighty emperor, deceased but never forgotten

[@islespatrick]

Greatest black metal band to exist. Period.

[@an147]

So was I! Long live the Emperor!

[@gluntford]

@ExNihilMetal In any case, the interplay between the instruments was always a focus of Emperor's songwriting, right from the beginning.

[@SatansRealm]

He sounds fine here.

[@gluntford]

@ExNihilMetal just because Prometheus was like jazz - good point - doesn't mean it doesn't illustrate or enlighten!! Honestly man you think that was music for the sake of music? That was one man isolating himself completely from musical society and pouring all of his genius out at once, with his eyes set on so many grand concepts that he couldn't contain them all in a clean, approachable format - and he did it to honor and explore the central concept of the band, the Emperor.

[@gluntford]

@ExNihilMetal To blow it off in the manner that you just did is moronic. I am incredibly glad that I found that album when I was a teenager. Now that I am older, I am aware of the context of great, foundational metal that you people stand upon when you judge music, and this album clashes awkwardly with your perspective. But as a young person nothing stopped me from the full appreciation of what it was - and it was a fucking POWERFUL album, and the power is what I love about Ihsahn.

[@landinitestacalda83]

[@ImLordRevan]

[@gluntford]

aw YEAH this is an AWESOME video!!!!!! FUK

[@AntilifeHorde]

@samsprocket Prometheus was more a preview to later Ihsahn solo records. In my opinion at least. To me that album was more progressive than black metal.

[@Viimane]

This is one of the blackest Emperor songs, if not the very blackest one.
