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. Re-mastered by Turan Audio with full guidance from the band, with all vinyl artwork being carefully restored to how it originally came out by Dan Capp Design and illustration to create beautiful vinyl re issues.The release has not been in press for over 2 decades! Ihsahn Samoth decided it was time to unleash this classic BM release on the world once more.
