Arguably the finest Black Metal album of them all and Emperor top this list through having more than one defining album. In the Nightside Eclipse, revealed grandeur not yet experienced in the Black Metal scene and this opus par excellence can be cited as genre defining as Slayers ‘Reign in Blood’ or ‘Napalm Deaths ‘Scum’.
Featuring two of the most influential Norwegian musicians ‘Samoth and Ihsahn, [who were previously in, Thou Shalt Suffer], and spawning the likes of Mortis [original bass player], Emperor are the undisputed kings of Norwegian Black Metal.
‘Nightside Eclipse’ appeared after the equally astonishing split with Enslaved, taking the
invigorating keyboard imbued Black Metal to symphonic aural heights not yet beheld by man nor beast. The raw, desolate core of guitar and vocal delivery was intact, yet the majesty evoked by the keyboard orchestration was simply stunning.
The following album, 1997's Anthems To The Welkin At Dusk could never capture the astonishing atmosphere of ‘Nightside Eclipse’. What Anthems, did achieve was a progression of the former and where other bands would have struggled to maintain any momentum, Emperor just created a more dramatic and unique version of what preceded. The same equation can be applied to the 1999 release, IX Equilibrium. Once more the onus was not to surpass the former, but rather to strive onwards with far more intricate Black Metal components and daring music.
The bands influence has also had far reaching consequences with other acts of the same shivering ilk. Samoth played bass on Burzums ‘Aske, Gorgoroths ‘Pentagram & Satyricons ‘Shadowthrone, amongst others.
Emperor could never continue perpetually at such a release rate, and the bands last drops of ingenuity were used on the 2001 Prometheus: The Discipline Of Fire & Demise album, a release that was to be their last. [for now that is].
