Quotes about Emperor
Not many people will argue against the case that Emperor are the greatest black metal band of all time, or that they raised the genre into new realms of art. In The Nightside Eclipse amplified black metal’s invocation of otherness as it imprinted the inhuman on an immeasurably vast and majestic canvas. [...] Emperor tore open new spaces that drew in innumerable voyagers in their wake.
