'''Emperor''' is, or was, a Norwegian BlackMetal band, founded in 1991 by Music/{{Ihsahn}}, Samoth, and Music/{{Mortiis}}. A number of bassists and drummers came and went during the band's existence, with Ihsahn (guitar, keyboards, vocals) and Samoth (guitar) forming the nucleus of the band. While they were officially active they released one demo, four full-length albums, a live album, and a handful of EP's and splits. In their early years Emperor was caught up in the turmoil and controversy of the Norwegian black metal scene of the early '90s, and following the recording of their first full-length album two members were arrested and imprisoned, Samoth for arson and drummer Faust for murder ([[AvertedTrope no jaywalking charges were reported]]). Samoth was released after 18 months, but Trym of Music/{{Enslaved}} replaced Faust, whose sentence was much longer. After this the band's criminal activities waned and they released three more albums before disbanding in 2001. The band reformed briefly in 2006-2007 for some live shows. In 2009 they released their second DVD/CD combo, a two-disc set culled from some festival performances, which they've said is [[TheVeryDefinitelyFinalDungeon "the final nail in the coffin"]] for the band. Despite this, the band announced that they would reunite once again to headline the Wacken and Bloodstock festivals in 2014, with Faust on drums. Trym has since rejoined the band.

band. They have continued to tour regularly into the 2020s, though Ihsahn has said multiple times that a new studio album is unlikely as such an album would sound identical to his solo material.

Deleted line(s) 54 (click to see context) :
* MohsScaleOfRockAndMetalHardness: Usually about a 9, but some of their music dips into an 8, probably including most of ''Prometheus'' (the prog influences drag it down a bit), and some of the earlier material may hit 10 due to the more abrasive production. The instrumental "The Wanderer" may be a 7, but it's a bit of an oddity in their discography. "Opus a Satana", not containing prominent guitars, is not really classifiable.

Added DiffLines:
* AlbumTitleDrop: ''Anthems to the Welkin at Dusk'' appears in "The Acclamation of Bonds", while "The Majesty of the Night Sky" has the words "into the nightside eclipse", which is just one word removed from the album title, ''In the Nightside Eclipse".
Added DiffLines:
* FacialMarkings: As a black metal band, they wore corpsepaint during their early existence. They dropped it after ''In the Nightside Eclipse''.
Added DiffLines:
