Eventually there comes a time when the hype about a band becomes superfluous, and their status alone speaks volumes. Such is the case with Emperor, the black metal gods hailing from Telemark, Norway. Emperor has become known as one of the originators of symphonic Black Metal that Norway is internationally renowned for. Often described as the greatest and most unique modern black metal act of all time, Emperor has sold hundred of thousands albums worldwide. Their cult album "In the Nightside Eclipse" has been ranked among albums like Slayer's "Reign in Blood" and Venom's "Black Metal" as a definitive masterpiece of our time.
