Emperor - Emperial Live Ceremony

LordOVchaoS · 11-25-2005, 11:10 PM

HOLY SHIT! I just busted this DVD out for the first time in a couple of years. Ihsahn is a damn madman! Makes me sad that Emperor didn't continue on...

They switch to 7-string guitars (at least I know Ihsahn played a UV777BK on their last album) and then call it quits.

If you can get this video you should! The dude effortlessly plays solos while singing and never glances at the guitar neck. KILLER!

Yeah, he's is an insane player and a great songwriter/composer too. Too bad they called it quits with Emperor, it makes me a saaaad saaad panda.

Emperor are going to some reunion touring here in Europe the next summer, so I think I have to go catch them live. If they come close enough to Finland. I think they are going to be playing some stuff off the Prometheus.. album so I guess there will be some 7-string madness going on there

Long live the Emperor!!

LUCKY! I'll probably never have the chance to see them live here in the states.

EMPEROR US SHOWS ANNOUNCED

Philadelphia: Candlelight Records today confirms two American shows for legendary black metal band, Emperor. The announcement follows recent confirmations of European shows that the band will perform in 2006.

Emperor, featuring vocalist/guitarist Ihsahn, guitarist Samoth, and drummer Trym, disbanded prior to release of their 2001 album Prometheus: The Discipline of Fire & Demise. The record, an essential release for Candlelight's first year of US operations, remains one of the label's top selling US releases. In late 2004, Candlelight reissued each of Emperor's four genre-defining albums - Wrath of the Tyrants, In the Nightside Eclipse, Anthems to the Welkin at Dusk and IX Equilibrium. Each album reworked with additional bonus footage and material unavailable previously on both European and US-licensed versions.

"Wrath of the Tyrants," being part one, "includes very rare, exclusive footage of pre-Nightside rehearsals plus live outtakes from our first tour (in support of Cradle of Filth, 1993)," says guitarist Samoth. "In the Nightside Eclipse," part two, "includes edited material from a live show in Oslo for the song "Towards the Pantheon," as well as various other clips from live recordings in 1997."

Forming in 1991, Emperor recordings have sold hundreds of thousands worldwide. Their impact on black/extreme metal ranks them as one of the genre's most influential. Respected by musician, fan and critic alike, Emperor recorded their final album, Prometheus: The Discipline of Fire & Demise, in 2001, shortly thereafter announcing they were disbanding (with Samoth and Trym continuing on in new band Zyklon; Ihsahn contributing to his ongoing band project Peccatum). Kerrang's Dom Lawson called Prometheus, "a staggering masterwork; a fitting testament to the musical genius."

Confirmed shows are noted below. Information regarding ticket on sale dates will follow.

Friday, July 14 - BB Kings Blues Club, New York NY
Sunday, July 16 - Key Club, Los Angeles CA

There's some great news for the Emperor fans in the States

It's an utterly amazing DVD altogether, I was just watching some of it yesterday.

And I'm going to try my best to attend Wacken next year! Not only Emperor, but there's been talk of Atheist doing some reunion shows too, so I might get lucky and see both bands at Wacken! Rock on!

I have it! I looked EVERYWHERE for a Region 2 version and had no luck. Then I popped down to HMV one day just to see if they had anything worth buying and there it was, staring at me.
