Legendary drumming of Trym. One of the best drummers in the world!!

[@alanandrewmass]

I genuinely thought they were using Faust from now on so this is awesome!!

@@pavelsmola2537 it’s like back in 2000 during Emperial Live Ceremony. Then he had long hair too

[@biorythmicshifter]

The riffs are played more cleanly now. The nuances jump out a little more, give me a higher appreciation of the sense of flow in the melodies. These songs are still powerful after all these years. They have aged well…

[@DavidLoveless]

I was thinking the same thing about the melodies. Gives you an even better appreciation for the genius songwriting.🤘🏽

[@trommnorse]

What do you mean: now? Anthems is a recorded album with a fucked up sound, this is live 25 years later.

[@biorythmicshifter]

@@trommnorse I’m sure the clarity is due to the advances made in recording technology. These guys were never sloppy players to me so I guess I used the wrong words initially but it’s unquestionable to my ears that I can discern the riffing much better now than the original recording which I still adore beyond words…

[@radoslawwalasik1678]

@@trommnorse back in 1997 it wasn’t fucked up, still this album is one of all time.

[@meshzzizk]

I think it’s partly the playing and partly more refined amp settings, mixing, micing, etc. When you’re a young musician in a scene that fetishizes rawness and primitive production, you can practice your instrument all day but still have no idea how to ensure your band sounds good and clear and evenly audible in a live setting-you might not even care. I’m sure these guys have learned a lot in the 20+ years since they first toured on this album. As for the original recoding, blurry primitive production was the aesthetic of Norwegian black metal of the time. Their third record IX Equilibrium sounded amazing and very clear, and black metal fans immediately hated it without giving the material (some of which, esp the first 3 tracks, is quite strong!) a chance

[@j2oaks]

This band is rarely active and never lose a step. Sound better than they did in 1997.

[@henrywalton5967]

Emperor live shows are quality over quantity for sure. They always sound really on point, think they must rehearse a fair bit. Ihsahn has really taken care of his vocals too, he sounds amazing still. Saw them in London last year and I've got tickets to see them in Scotland & Ireland next year too.

[@joefazza2380]

​@Henry Walton I'm seeing them in Ireland next year because no england show, should be worth it though

[@SamuelBlackMetalRider]

Ihsahn is a demigod. Vocals are mind blowing indeed, and guitars, well, god tier especially while singing

[@dismalrealm]

​@@henrywalton5967 does he ever drink or do drugs?

[@vahrzawofficialtracks]

Super active. Have been running festivals nigh on 10 years.

[@metalsmithnick8714]

One of the most epic songs written. Any genre

[@sanjinakama1228]

the years go by and still the band is fierce great technique

[@paulotomaz7100]

This man is a living legend . A monster in the drums

[@wanjanechtangroeger]

Awesome footage! You look much more comfortable behind the kit compared to 2-3 years ago. Must be the hair ;) Super impressive to see all the "jazzy" details in your drumming in this song!

[@nachomagallanico]

was thinking the same, the lack of touring imo, but here, god damn he's breathes confidence. Great to see one of the greats perfecting his craft even at 50, cause this 2023 rendition of this classic is just great, it gives me motivation at 40 to keep going.

[@Incestrul_Lust]

What can you tell us about his techniques, Nechtan?

[@wanjanechtangroeger]

@@Incestrul_Lust Well, what do you want to know? :D

[@caprise-music6722]

To me Trym and Hellhammer have always been on a higher level then many other BM drummers, and one of the reasons for that is that they take inspiration from a lot of different music, especially jazz etc

[@thesarratum]

It is amazing to watch a flawless performance of a legendary song, and so effortless ! I would almost believe it was an easy play :)

[@IamMichaellucifer13]

I am always amazed by Trym's drumming, along with many other metal band drummers that kick ass, they are the band.

[@StarshipTrooper4231]

Trym and Darkside. Chefs kiss.

I so love this song! I remember buying the single with the video and Opus A Satana. What a band and what a performance!

I will never forget your first visit to Toronto Canada. Emperor with only 1 guitarist! Curse You All Men! was the opening song I believe 🤘

[@VincentVegardSvart]

For me the best and complete song of all entire black metal scene. It's have all the details,.also the video clip I love to much. Thanks you Trim for uploading more songs.

[@curtissflamence]

Love that you can hear all the instruments. Great clip

[@FilipeGomesDrummer]

Trym is a fantasticdrummer, quite relaxed. What I don't understand is how the hell he's comfortable playing with his snare and ride cymbal so freakin' low

[@morganix007]

That is what I noticed,especially the ride.

[@soulander13]

He is a low-rider🤭

[@FilipeGomesDrummer]

@@soulander13 I see what you did there :D

[@garrettlemieux4620]

Seems to help his technique, his snare hand bounces off his thigh i noticed

[@hazardeur]

well, ,as a lowrider myself....it lets you move less. which is always a plus if you need to move a lot

[@peckawood]

Man what I wouldn't do for a new emperor album

[@mikefer1401]

[@normanwilder4935]

For me you were always was and always be black metal`s number 1 drummer. Not only for the unique drumming techniques, but also for your composition skills which are above and beyond, especially for such complicated rhythms as Emperor's.

[@BonesawCal]

When will Trym finally release his hair growth routine

[@StarshipTrooper4231]

Superior scandinavian genes. Nothing you could do about it except being born with it.

DUDE!!! How in the world do you keep up this blast on your left hand while kicking it up with your left thigh ??? :D It's insane.

[@danpitts152]

I think that's tryms "thing"- left leg aids his blasting hand keeping some sort of rhythmic order amongst all the jazzy chaos he unleashes😂

As a devoted follower i can definitely see that a certain awkwardness on blastbeats (man, original Anthems blastbeats _are_ fast) that was there some years ago has gone, it's definitely the hair! The only thing left to do is shave the beard and tie up the pony-tail to get back Trym of 1999! Can't wait to see Ye Entrancemperium from this show.
