Awesome Version of the Album
This first Emperor has always been a grand favorite black metal album of mine. To purchase a specially packaged version of this monumental masterpiece felt awesome. This version of the album is a digibook, with two discs inside, a long booklet built into it, containing old pictures of the band, a short interview, lyrics. Artwork can be found all over the digibook, both inside the built-in booklet and everywhere else. It certainly isn't a dull, plain looking album by any means. The front cover looks better than ever; a heavily detailed illustration of mountains, the night-skies, forests, nocturnal spirits, and castles. This is one of Necrolord's famous album covers, and one of his best!Having the album in the form of a "book" makes it look more special than if it came in an ordinary glass case with a separate booklet. This digibook version of the album is nicely and neatly organized, holds together perfectly well, and the quality of the songs on the CDs is flawless.This is an album for those who enjoy the classic second wave of Scandinavian Black Metal that emerged in the '90s. This is the archetypal representation of symphonic black metal. The songs are layered with atmospheric guitar and keyboard melodies, with Ihsahn's vocals screeching amidst the highly developed instrumentation. This is some of the most powerful and most creative black metal songwriting. It's not the typical lo-fi, raw black metal with poor production quality, with only two riffs per song, and artwork only consisting of pentagrams and inverted crosses. Emperor is not overtly satanic on the surface. They wrote music and lyrics differently (still satanic in some cases), which is what makes this album a classic.Overall this is an excellent album, and this version of the album is splendid. Purchase it if you want a unique version of a old school black metal album.

In the Nightside Eclipse
My only real gripe is that this pressing doesn’t include the bonus tracks featured on the anniversary edition CD. But that’s like the only thing I could complain about and it doesn’t really bother me. This vinyl edition is excellent. The packaging and artwork has never looked better and the sound...it’s Emperor on vinyl...it sounds incredible. Speedy delivery too. If you like black metal, I don’t really need to tell you about the album except that you need it in your collection pronto

I think this album sounds better twenty years later
A masterpiece in the world of black metal. Incredible artwork. I think this album sounds better twenty years later. A must have for an emperor fan, or any fan of the black metal genre. It simply doesn't get any better than this.

Capolavoro della musica.
Disco seminale, una pietra miliare del genere. In questa versione, il remastering ha fatto il suo lavoro. Confrontatelo con la versione originale, le atmosfere del disco sono mantenute, ma la qualità è tutta un’altra cosa. Da avere.

Indispensable pour redécouvrir ce chef d'œuvre
Une superbe édition avec 2 cds et un magnifique livret qui vous replonge 20 ans en arrière ! La remasterisation est une réussite la musique est plus ample et les chansons plus puissantes. Il fallait au moins ça pour ce chef d'œuvre !!!
