Our Four Studio Albums, From Nightside to Prometheus
Between 1994 and 2001 we made four studio albums. Before them came a demo and an EP, and after them a live record. Here's the whole run, in order, and where you'll find it in our designs.
Where did it begin?
Before the albums came our demo, Wrath of the Tyrant. In 1993 we released the EP Emperor. The Wrath of the Tyrant name, set in red under the Emperor logo, is one of the designs in this store.
Which albums did we release?
- In the Nightside Eclipse (1994): our first full-length album, symphonic black metal from Notodden. Its cold landscape of mountains, forest and towers, framed by our logo, is on one of our designs.
- Anthems to the Welkin at Dusk (1997): our second album. In 2017 we played shows marking its 20 years.
- IX Equilibrium (1999): our third album.
- Prometheus: The Discipline of Fire & Demise (2001): our fourth album, released the year we split.
What came after?
In 2009 we released Live Inferno on CD and DVD. Scattered Ashes: A Decade of Emperial Wrath gathers songs from our first decade in one compilation.
Who released our records?
Our music has come out on Candlelight, Century Media and Nuclear Blast.
How do the albums turn into merch?
The logo: the Emperor logo, with its pointed, winged letters, runs across our designs, and one design carries it on its own in gold.
The covers: In the Nightside Eclipse gives us its full landscape, logo on top and album title below.
The early days: Wrath of the Tyrant goes back to where it all started.
Pick the era that's yours and wear it.
