I think that the break in this song with Ihshan’s shift to clean vocals, and the following harmonies are one of the most outstanding things that ever happened in the history of Metal...
HAIL TO EMPEROR, THE BEST BAND EVER! Ihshan is the best compositor, and Trym's stone face, when he's playing blasts is priceless. Every band on earth isn't worth enough to lick theirs boots.
2017 will be 20 years since this album was released! Celebrations will be held all around the world by true metal heads! Emperor will make a couple of live performances... It will be great!
Yes, but it will be similar to 2014, when they did 20 years of Into the Infinity of Thoughts - they played 3-4 gigs back then. One of those was @ Wacken, where I was lucky enough to watch them. The experience...a piece of my soul is still in front of that stage...
one of the very best black metal songs ever written. up there with Faustian Echoes by Agalloch, Withstand The Fall of Time by Immortal, and Freezing Moon by Mayhem,
I've only ever listened to the Wrath of the Tyrant album (or demo, whatever it is) and I'm pretty shocked and amazed by the talent these guys have after watching this.
@@sivnehahgsteggen7182 and besides that, even with the absolute importance that Bathory has for the whole black metal scene, it is'nt even remotely a match to Emperor as regards technique and composing skills.
Fortunate enough to seen these guys back in 1998 at Milwaukee's Metal Fest, they played on Saturday, Mayhem, Impaled Nazarene, and Blood Storm and many others played Friday, didn't see that show but bought the vhs. And i do believe OPETH played on Saturday night as well
Hell, if I had the chance to sing backing vocals for a live Emperor show, I'd sure as hell be excited about it and maybe a little overzealous doing it.
Deep Green Dark Chaos Blinded I run down these paths By heart I know them They lead to the soaring cliffs Stout they stand above the water's edge Lifeless And this is my foundation Cold stone Formed only by winds and time How invulnerable Lifeless Ahh... I have longed to be at one with this Yet, the waters call my name For once I wish to see The entity behind the voice The face of this seduction The beauty of my pain Am I blessed or am I cursed by thy presence? What is my crime? What is my deed? Is this life my redemption? Shall I repent or proceed? I hate my flesh Its dimension poisoned my soul with doubt It made me question the essence of... The 'I' Slaves are those of this world Given freedom to lay the chains upon The Master The wolf is no longer free Release the chains and come for me Suddenly, his mournful cries were stunned Out of the cold mist came three enthralling ships Sails torn by many a storm, and the bows adorned by the Most fierce gargoyles he'd ever laid eyes upon. Yet, the Crew they bore... Three times twelve in numbers. They Stood motionless, wrapped in grey, worn gowns And from behind their shadowed faces the seductive chanting Bidding him on board. without hesitation, he accepted And away they sailed... Upon these seas Wherein I drowned so many times I scatter the ashes of destiny Still my flame is in hunger With fire in my heart Shall I greet the shores ahead Though, I know not what will burn.

Best song ever.
Best album ever.
Best band ever.
Best live performance ever.
Best drummer ever.
Nothing else to say.
emperialAnthems + Best guitar players and vocal ever
Best comment ever.
3 years latter... I agree.
I rarely agree so hard with anyone on anything as with you right now
Yeah I agree and I love Trym’s poker face when playing that fucking fast and intricately hahah
The song is the Bohemian Rhapsody of Black Metal. Best song in the entire genre and one of the best of all time.
it's so pretty and has so much variety in one song, i love it
No this song is better and don't compare Emperor to Queen. This is aggressive and beautiful. Queen is horrible.
Isn't this the best live performance ever?
This and Nodveidt's
Its Gooooood-uh.
Absolutely. Fucking astounding how good this is.
Gorgoroth Live in Wacken 2008.
Its good but imperial live ceremony is probably the best metal concert ever made by emperor
someone should send an Emperor album to space to make sure this never gets lost!
Best way to be sure it gets lost, in my opinion...
@@louisjamin7195 fr
That guitar solo at the end........
twice.
Holy fuck Trym is the fucking man on this performance.
This song is the greatest black metal ballad. From Telemark, Norway! Emperor!
Had Ihsahn been born 200 years ago, he would have been right up with Wagner.....
@BAZ INGA :D lolllll
Emperor is the peak of true Black Metal! and it ends with them... HAIL EMPEROR FOREVER!
The real shit.
I think that the break in this song with Ihshan’s shift to clean vocals, and the following harmonies are one of the most outstanding things that ever happened in the history of Metal...
THE DEFINITIVE MASTERPIECE
This stands up to any live performance of any band, and it's probably better than most due to the speed and technicality, HAIL TRYM!!
Listened to this at least 20 times and it has to be the greatest moment of black metal ever!
Black Metal at it's finest. Long live Emperor.
Beautiful. From one of the best albums of all time, masterful performance.
The finest Norwegian band of all time.
Everlasting greatness
jesus this band is amazing in many ways. one of my favs from back in the day
I think, when you talk about how amazing is Emperor's music, the name of Jesus is not the best one for mentioning XD
@@narekcholakyan9601 Why babyboy, why???
@@narekcholakyan9601 theyre not satanic tho xd?
This my friends is a piece of art.
The ending solo is amazing, fuckin epic and melodic
5:45 onwards is some straight-up death metal technicality. It's like if Suffocation had an orchestra behind them. Incredible.
I was there, wonderful memories.
HAIL TO EMPEROR, THE BEST BAND EVER! Ihshan is the best compositor, and Trym's stone face, when he's playing blasts is priceless. Every band on earth isn't worth enough to lick theirs boots.
this song gives me chills
Better than studio version!
No shit 😂
holy fuck. wish I was there
Black metal at its finest. \m/
pucheala
The part at 4:17 and forward has to be the most epic black metal part in the history along with the lyrics. Such a fucking poem.
When I need to feel power- only this song, again. And again. Year after year😊🖤
2017 will be 20 years since this album was released! Celebrations will be held all around the world by true metal heads! Emperor will make a couple of live performances... It will be great!
yeah, finally live again!
Yes, but it will be similar to 2014, when they did 20 years of Into the Infinity of Thoughts - they played 3-4 gigs back then. One of those was @ Wacken, where I was lucky enough to watch them. The experience...a piece of my soul is still in front of that stage...
One of the best extreme metal songs of all time! This is art!!
unholy fucking hell, im exhausted after watching this. Completely fuckin awesome performance. This band is otherworldly...fuckin blown away.
Реально одна из лучших композиций среди всей металл-сцены.
Просто топище.
Greatest like ever uttered in black metal right there.
"Feel free to sing along!"
Should've had the lyrics posted with a bouncing ball on each syllable 😆
with fire in my heart (8)
Heeeaaaarrr myyy caaaaaaaalll!
one of the very best black metal songs ever written. up there with Faustian Echoes by Agalloch, Withstand The Fall of Time by Immortal, and Freezing Moon by Mayhem,
That's some real music right here
That guitar solo at the end is just fuckin EPIC!!!!!!
Hassan Ahmed agreed. One of my favorite solos of all time. Absolutely stunning quality.
I've only ever listened to the Wrath of the Tyrant album (or demo, whatever it is) and I'm pretty shocked and amazed by the talent these guys have after watching this.
Their duo causes goose bumps on my skin. True epic.
Probably the most epic concert I've ever been to. Amazing!
To think that Einar from Leprous is enjoying so much this masterpiece in his keyboards, is so fantastic lovable!!!
So glad this has been added again! Best black metal band of all time, playing one of the best black metal songs of all time!
absolutely No1 band all history
Metal Perfection.
Masterpiece! Enchanted by this song for years! This performence is awesome
I watch this about once a month. Every month. Forever. Fucking epic. Best black metal band. Ever.
Update: I'm still here listening

@@armyofninjas9055 lmfaoooo respect dude damn
Best black metal concert ever. ✌️🤘🤘🤘
I can only imagine how supernatural seeing this band in living flesh must be. They have to reunite once more!
11 years later, I come back to this video. And I still remember all the lyrics.
deep lyrics
Ihsahn's guitar playing is so fucking amazing. All these Wacken videos just sound so good. End of the world shit.
This sounds so god damn good! Loved this song as a kid and still gives me goosebumps.
Trym killed it \m/
my favorite emperor song after inno a satana, and they are sick live!! hopefully i will see them live one day..
I can bearly breath while watch this. GREAT SONG FROM A GREAT BAND!
I agree with most of the comments on this vid, Anthems is the best damn album i have heard from emperor
Indeed he is a beast, check out Dominator from dark funeral, he is a fucking beast too.
this is truly classic
Epic, forever epic song!
simply beautiful
Mighty Emperor!!! BM does not get any better than this!!!
Hail to the almighty Emperor. Think I just might love their sound live more than the albums.
amazing
Awesome... Wish be back again soon !
Fucking owned that stage.
Most ever best metal song what human wrote in this style!
you make my day. Thank you!
Love it!!!This one is not from this world!!!!Hail Mighty Emperor!!! \m/
simply a MASTERPIECE!!! HAIL EMPEROR!!!
Einar Solberg!! 04:33
He looks so different back then!
i hail the emperor with my soul!
Blows my mind
The first black metal band I got into and haven't found anyone else since that compares. Even in other sub genres of metal.
Mayhem, Bathory, they are all Norwegian. There are good BM bands but it ends with these guys for sure.
Bathory is from Sweden.
@@sivnehahgsteggen7182 and besides that, even with the absolute importance that Bathory has for the whole black metal scene, it is'nt even remotely a match to Emperor as regards technique and composing skills.
a master piece

very awesome!
Baptized in Fire, Our Spirit Eternal, the Moon our Power, and Stoic Wisdom did Enchant Us and did Guide our Way!
So Mote It Be Stoic Euphoria!
trym with his poker face rules
Hear my call...
I return to the soaring cliffs
They truly shine of strength
even though, I nothing learned
With strength I burn...
Best song ever!!! \m/
Long Live The Emperor.
awesome
Tis id amazing
Mindblowing
I have a dream!!! To see another one Emperor's album!
BEST SONG FROM THE BEST BAND!!!
Hell, if I had the chance to sing backing vocals for a live Emperor show, I'd sure as hell be excited about it and maybe a little overzealous doing it.
Yeah, it's their my favorite song .
GREAT!!!!!!!!!
Magnificent Emperor.
emperor forever...
HEAR. MY. CAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAALL!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Deep Green Dark Chaos
Blinded I run down these paths
By heart I know them
They lead to the soaring cliffs
Stout they stand above the water's edge
Lifeless
And this is my foundation
Cold stone
Formed only by winds and time
How invulnerable
Lifeless
Ahh...
I have longed to be at one with this
Yet, the waters call my name
For once I wish to see
The entity behind the voice
The face of this seduction
The beauty of my pain
Am I blessed or am I cursed by thy presence?
What is my crime?
What is my deed?
Is this life my redemption?
Shall I repent or proceed?
I hate my flesh
Its dimension poisoned my soul with doubt
It made me question the essence of...
The 'I'
Slaves are those of this world
Given freedom to lay the chains upon The Master
The wolf is no longer free
Release the chains and come for me
Suddenly, his mournful cries were stunned
Out of the cold mist came three enthralling ships
Sails torn by many a storm, and the bows adorned by the
Most fierce gargoyles he'd ever laid eyes upon. Yet, the
Crew they bore... Three times twelve in numbers. They
Stood motionless, wrapped in grey, worn gowns
And from behind their shadowed faces the seductive chanting
Bidding him on board. without hesitation, he accepted
And away they sailed...
Upon these seas
Wherein I drowned so many times
I scatter the ashes of destiny
Still my flame is in hunger
With fire in my heart
Shall I greet the shores ahead
Though, I know not what will burn.
Best black metal musicians ever !!!!!!
Más grandes que la vida misma. Esperemos que vuelvan a juntarse, y que Ihsahn se deje de tonterías...
Epic song ⚔️🇧🇻😈👺🤘
Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuckin' eeeeepiiiic
Rivogliamo gli Emperor!
Emperor surrounded by an ocean of fans \m/
