Description

Original first press from 2009. Double album on black vinyls with gatefold cover

Black metal legends Emperor recorded live from the band’s performance at Germanys Wacken Open Air Festival 2006. Whitesnake were performing a good show on the main stage while Emperors crew were setting up the gears on the other stage and it was obvious that more and more people started drifting over there to stand as close to the stage as possible, abandoning David Coverdale and his motley crew. Frankly, I didn’t blame the black metal fans in Wacken because the moment Emperor started playing it was clear that this was it – the best show of the festival. The speed, intensity and pure energy with which these Norwegians blasted the whole audience were absolutely astounding. I was always a fan of this band but only after seeing them live did I really understand what a phenomenal musical entity they are. The performance was also flawless and almost inhumanly perfect. The band was even able to use the afore-mentioned sound issues to their advantage, making their older tracks even more menacing. This album is a great memory and a must for any Emperor fan
