Welcome to album review Tuesdays here on the channel and tonight we are going deep beneath the earth into Norway for a member request and this one comes to me from Josh and he has asked me if I would review Emperor-In The Nightside Eclipse and I said sure why not? Now while im not the biggest symphonic black metal guy? I can appreciate some of Emperor’s work.

Being that they are one of the bands responsible for the creation of Norwegian black metal, this band is definitely a staple in the various shapes the genre would take. Emperor are one of those bands who have a very avant-garde approach if you will to their songwriting and style of black metal which includes a lot of classical influences both in the instrumentation and the vocals as well.

So before we get into the review im going to give you guys some background history on Emperor
Emperor was known as one of the most infamous Norwegian black metal bands during the early and mid-1990s. Samoth was jailed 16 months for taking part in church burnings with Varg Vikernes (Burzum), along with other members of the Norwegian black metal scene. Drummer Faust was jailed for church burning and for the stabbing and murder of a homosexual man in 1992 (he was never suspected of it until 2 years later when he was arrested in 1994).

The group disbanded in 2001 because they felt they had lived up to everything they wanted to with Emperor. They have received "legendary" status, toured worldwide, have a large catalog of releases, and they didn't want to be known as another group that "never knows when to quit making music" as well as creative incompatibilities (Ihsahn was becoming more inspired by the progressive tendencies he would showcase in his solo work, whereas Samoth was exploring a technical death metal inspiration he would utilize in Zyklon.)
