I swear..all the topics you make are about some of my favorite bands laugh.gif

In the Nightside Eclipse is probably my favorite cd.

*edit: Speaking of Samoth and Tyrm what do you guys think of Zyklon?

Posted by: The Uncreator Aug 26 2007, 08:56 PM

Yes Emperor are great, i couldnt pick between there older stuff or newer stuffm i love the newer stuff because its more progressive, but the old stuff is just...AWESOME!!.

And regarding Zyklon i think they are great, powerful riffs and brutal songs!!

Yhea I think Emperor are pretty sweet but I find the vocals to be abit much sometimes..

Oh dont get me wrong I do like them and I think they are a wicked band. They are just one of those bands that I really have to be in the mood for to listen to as the vocals are abit too intense and overpowering sometimes.

Posted by: Robin Aug 26 2007, 10:14 PM

Moon over kara-shehr is probably my favorite song from them. Its just amazing.

I couldnt listen to it purely on the basis of their convictions at the period they wrote it. I find it a bit wrong to support a band who's only claim to fame was burning some beautiful churches and stabbing gay men on the basis of their sexuality.

Burzum was the one man band who burned the churches, not emperor, your thinking of Varg Vikernes.

And I think some of the guys from Hades burned a church with Varg. But as far as I know Emperor have been nice guys smile.gif

Well there drummer, Faust did stab a gay man, shortly thereafter he was imprisoned for 14 years, And Emperor no longer had him in the band.

Ihsahn, the man who for me, IS Emperor, has never done anything of teh nature.

Acutally Samoth was imprisoned for arson related to desecration and church burning. This was all during the height of the black metal inner circle group that Euronymous of Mayhem formed. After he was killed , correct me if I'm wrong but violence and church burnings basically stopped happening.

Posted by: The Uncreator Aug 27 2007, 07:39 AM

Wow i never knew sammoth was put in jail, i cant imagine such a nice guy doing that.

Ironic though that after Eruonymous was killed and Varg was imprisoned, the burnings stopped, gets ya thinking....

Actually, when Varg got busted for burning the church, kids all over the world started to burn churches.

(Probably not all kids, but you know, "wannabe satanists". Morons.)

I have mixed feelings about Equilibrium..the riffage is excellent but those high power metalish vocals always put me off.
