Emperor - In The Nightside Eclipse (1994)
One of the most influential bands of the black metal genre, it could well be argued that Emperor lies at the footsteps of symphonic, or - if you don't mind - progressive black metal. Ultra-fast tremolo riffs, bombastic symphonic overtones, relentless drumming and speed, raw production and yet that typical majestic atmosphere - sublime - make In the Nightside Eclipse an all-time classic and a must for anyone interested in black metal.I should note here that this kind of black metal is worlds apart from what you find further below, such as Darkthrone, Mayhem or Burzum. These last three work are extreme in their sense of minimalism. Emperor is anything but that. It's like comparing Wagner with Satie - or George W. Bush with Kofi Annan! LOL

no comments on this album (i'm not yet in the right part of my 7 year cycle to listen to black metal again) but just thought I'd say Hi and cheers for the earlier Lustmord albums...
I think I know what your mean. I should be wary, too - it can really get into you, and then it's too late! Get out the razor blades!!
