Emperial Live Ceremony

by Emperor

Overview

One of the best-known Scandinavian metal bands of the 1990s, Emperor was widely considered to be among death/black metal's top live bands, and the 2000 DVD Emperial Live Ceremony doesn't disappoint. Recorded during a tour stop in support of the IX Equilibrium release at London's packed and sweaty club LA2 (on May 14, 1999), the quintet rips through a total of ten tracks, including such dark compositions as the opening "Curse You All Men," "I Am the Black Wizards," "Night of the Graveless Souls," and "Inno a Satana," among others. With the group having retired from the concert stage by the early 21st century, Emperial Live Ceremony may be the closest thing to an Emperor concert that new admirers will be able to experience. ~ Greg Prato
