This is an Enhanced audio CD which contains regular audio tracks and multimedia computer files.

As black metal's fully enthroned reigning kings, Emperor are truly an interesting, intriguing act, combining the soaring, operatic, orchestral sensibilities of classical music with the pomposity, technical skill, and brutality of various types of heavy metal. What emerges from that Norwegian cocoon is something entirely new, or if not entirely new, then a fully realized version of something that had been attempted by other acts. This live disc, which also incorporates multimedia -- a video for "I Am the Black Wizards" and Emperor screensavers -- was recorded and engineered during European touring for Equilibrium IX. Whether or not the tracks have been overdubbed -- after all, black metal is not an easy medium to work in -- remains fairly dubious. The drums have certainly been triggered, but whether additional vocals or guitars were cut, who knows. One thing is certain, Emperor prove mightily adept at conveying the full range of human emotion in song; from soaring, anthemic leads, to deep, murky Mahler-esque moods; to capturing the frightening solitude of a cold Scandinavian winterscape. Emperial Live Ceremony is not one of the best live albums ever recorded -- or, for that matter, overdubbed and studio crafted, but it does indicate this outfit's superior abilities, songwriting abilities that eclipse most others working in the black metal idiom. ~ Patrick Kennedy

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

Recorded at the Astoria Theater, London, England.

Emperor (Black Metal): Ihsahn (vocals, guitar); Samoth (guitar); Charmand Grimloch (keyboards, background vocals); Trym (drums).

This is an Enhanced CD, which contains both regular audio tracks and multimedia computer files.Kerrang (Magazine) (p.53) - "[T]his is the sound of one of the all-time great metal bands on blistering form."

Sepultura Schizophrenia CD  (1987) Bonus Tracks; Remastered

Emperial Live Ceremony album
CD $15.05  4.3 stars Top 500 Audio Samples
All tracks have been digitally remastered by George Marino at Sterling Sound, New York, New York. Brazilian death metal upstart Sepultura took an incredible leap forward with their second full-length album, 1987's Schizophrenia. Though recorded only a year after the band's primitive debut, Schizophrenia displayed a remarkable sonic evolution in both technical and creative terms. Constant touring, rehearsal, and the addition of new lead guitarist Andreas Kisser obviously helped the band achieve the musical proficiency necessary to pull off its complex songs. This is apparent as soon as the Psycho-inspired intro theme gives way to the precise, lightning-quick staccato riffing of "From ...

Exodus Another Lesson In Violence CD  (1997)

Emperial Live Ceremony CD music
CD $9.29  5 stars Audio Samples
Recorded during a one-off 1997 reunion show, this vibrant live album featured the near original lineup of thrash metal pioneers Exodus; the only absent parties are original bassist Geoff Andrews and guitarist Kirk Hammet, who was probably tied up at his day job Metallica. Though it was almost certainly tweaked in the studio at a later date, the performance captured on Another Lesson in Violence sounds amazingly live and raw, containing furious renditions of the band's many early classics, ...

Emperor Prometheus: The Discipline Of Fire & Demise CD  (2001)

Emperial Live Ceremony music CDs
CD $14.05  4.5 stars Top 500 Audio Samples
If there's one band that truly embodies anti-commercialism, it's Emperor. Generally regarded as the one true master of the Norwegian-bred black metal art form, the band concocts a staggeringly violent whirlwind of carefully constructed noise resulting in nigh-impermeable records piled high with complex arrangements and heart-bursting violence. So it's no surprise that, for its swan song, the band would issue Prometheus, a birth-to-death concept album of such weight and density that it takes roughly two dozen listens to even begin to appreciate the depth of its composition and its painstaking attention to detail. Accompanying the release of Prometheus was the announcement that it would be Emperor's final word as a band, and listening to the record, it is increasingly apparent that the bandmembers were beginning to take divergent ...

Obituary Slowly We Rot/Cause Of Death CDs  (2003)

Emperial Live Ceremony songs
CD $14.65  4.3 stars Top 500 Audio Samples
As part of its 1998 Obituary reissue campaign, Roadrunner released not only the albums themselves but also a pair of two-fers: Slowly We Rot/Cause of Death and The End Complete/World Demise. These two-fers feature not only the remastered sound of the reissues but also the same bonus tracks. Plus, they're quite a bargain relative to buying the albums individually. On the downside, you're stuck with typically unappealing two-fer artwork, and of course, you're stuck with two albums rather than one. This latter issue isn't such a big deal with these Obituary reissues because the partnered albums go together well. In the case of Slowly We Rot/Cause of Death, you get the band's first two albums, from 1989 and 1990, respectively. The former is a landmark, one of the first major death metal albums to surface and one of Obituary's best; the latter is an anomaly in the band's catalog, plagued by poor production values but highlighted by the substitute guitar duties of the mighty James Murphy of Death (lead guitarist Allen West is absent here). These are two of the most influential ...
