Emperor

Main
Albums / Singles

You don't have to look very far to gauge the already legendary status of Emperor; they have dominated Black Metal (with a raised sword) since its beginning, influencing countless bands. Their music continues to push the aesthetic boundaries of decadence and excess, owing as much to Wagner as they do Venom. Tapped into something truly sinister, Emperor's combination of Death Metal and Gothic theater continuously raises the standards by which Metal is evaluated. With each recording, Emperor manage to create something more epic than the last.
