Dziwi mnie brak tematu o tym norweskim zespole black metalowym.
Emperor powstał w 1991 roku w Notodden z inicjatywy Vegarda "Ihsahna" Tveitana i Tomasa "Samotha" Haugena.
W 2001 roku z dorobkiem czterech albumów studyjnych formacja została rozwiązana. W latach późniejszych zespół trzykrotnie wznawiał działalność na potrzeby koncertów. Uwielbiam dwie pierwsze płyty, dwie następne gorsze zdecydowanie, aczkolwiek nadal słuchalne. A wy?
