It is still amazing to me how a couple of kids in their teens can produce music like this. Out of this world then and now as well. Excellent song.

I think very often people dont realize how important album cover is at setting the atmosphere. its like the place where you listen to that music.

Best album ever. Amazing song. The keys at 2.56 minutes then the riff at 4 minutes is unbelievable

[@KoRnhead12]

emperor has so far been a messy amalgam of moody keyboards, indecipherable screaming, and insistent but static rhythms. and its awesome.

[@CyclicalCynical]

This song will always have a special place in my heart. My all-time favorite from this album (and favorite Emperor song, followed very closely by "The Loss And Curse Of Reverence").

[@Lunar.67]

This is literally as perfect of a song as it gets. I just heard this and my jaw litterly dropped.

[@SSEnrich]

I listened to this early 1994, demo version. In Norway. It might have started before this song, but it felt like I had found gold. Just a unique and extreme culture that I am so happy I was a part of. It felt like a drug then, and one wanted to escape the ordinary world as often as possible. Samoth was the idol back then.

[@RonaldPoe]

I like Ishahn's guitar work but this is very well done. I'm part Norwegian on my Grandma's side as well and proud of it. Anyway Ishahn and Samoth do a great job on this album's guitar work. The vocals are abrasive but not too unpleasant. Overall this is good music (if you're into Extreme Metal, Black Metal, or that kinda thing).

...SONG OF THE DAY!!! EMPEROR - I AM THE BLACK WIZARDS (1993) Esta canción está considerada junto con su disco In the Nightside Eclipse, el comienzo del Death Metal Melódico, entiendo que es difícil poder "aguantar" para los oídos de muchos, sin embargo, si le dan una oportunidad podrán entender lo VIRTUOSOS Y CREATIVOS que pueden ser estas bNds 🤘🏿. Además me encanta poder imaginar las historias oscuras que relatan en ellas, en esta hace referencia a un cuento malvado de hadas sobre un hechicero todopoderoso que controla a los magos malignos que viven en las montañas. Y cómo ser supremo se jacta de lo bien que hace su malévolo trabajo. 🤘🏿MEGAROLON🤘🏿

are you joking? (just politely asking because asking a black metal band to talk about jesus is comical)

@@bassofd00m I am serious because I genuinely care about people's physical wellbeing and I want everyone in paradise and not in the terrifying Gehenna fire. I've cared about people since childhood and I am blessed I have God and I followed my God given conscience since childhood too (without the bible until i was 17) although not without my flaws.

Black Metal bands deliberately use shitty equipment for the atmosphere. Still sounds good though.

Try going out in the freezing winter night in Scandinavian nature and putting this on in headphones, hopefully you will understand.

@@trumpchicken4937 this is one of the better recorded pieces of bm lol. Some of it sounds like it's coming thru a toilet bowl and is inaudible, which is a shame

[@trumpchicken4937]

@@heretic5116 Yeah with Emperor you don't get shitty production quality. I'm pretty sure these guys were really unique in the scene at the time because their sound was much different from what other bands were doing at the time e.g. using symphonic elements and having better production value.

[@Dilltron]

That’s on purpose, it’s called black metal toaster quality. I call it that because it sounds like it was recorded with a toaster. Personally I like it but it’s not for everyone.
