EMPEROR Reunite for 2 shows[views:3071][posts:30]____________________________________ [Sep 30,2005 7:07pm - BornSoVile ""] Didn't take long for this to happen! http://www.roadrunnerrecords.com/blabbermouth.net/ In addition to headlining the 2006 edition of Norway's Inferno Festival, influential Norwegian extreme metal outfit EMPEROR will perform at next year's Wacken Open Air, set to take place August 3-5, 2006 in Wacken, Germany. Other bands confirmed for the three-day event include CHILDREN OF BODOM, SOILWORK, SUBWAY TO SALLY, IN EXTREMO and DIE APOKALYPTISCHEN REITER. Commented EMPEROR members Ihsahn, Samoth and Trym in a statement: "Greetings, metalheads of the world! We are proud to announce that EMPEROR will headline Wacken Open Air 2006. Join us, as we re-enter the nightside to chant anthems of equilibrium, fire and demise!" |

| _____________________________________________ [Sep 30,2005 7:40pm - DrinkHardThrashHard ""] It was only a matter of time before this would happen, I won't be surprised when they really re-unite to make a new album some day. |
| _______________________________________ [Sep 30,2005 8:05pm - DeOdiumMortis ""] I got a chill when I read the thread title. Is there a travel agency that can book me one of those "vacation packages" that sends me to both festivals? |
| _______________________________________ [Sep 30,2005 11:28pm - the_reverend ""] I'd heard this rumor a few months ago |
| ___________________________________ [Sep 30,2005 11:39pm - Sinistas ""] wow |
| ______________________________ [Sep 30,2005 11:48pm - mOe ""] you know what....you guys all seem pretty happy about this.....i'll leave it be |
| _____________________________________ [Sep 30,2005 11:57pm - paganmegan ""] looks like I might be going to Wacken. |

| _____________________________________ [Oct 1,2005 12:20am - Ninkaszi187 ""] the last two records blow. whatever. |
| _________________________________ [Oct 1,2005 3:12am - brian_dc ""] I love emperor...I hope these shows are filmed and then sold to me |

| ______________________________________________ [Oct 1,2005 5:56am - coldnorthernvengeance ""] ahhh.. My prediction came true. |
| ______________________________________________ [Oct 1,2005 6:01am - coldnorthernvengeance ""] After this there will be a new record.. |

Anyway, I have no hopes at all for a new album, they should just let it rest, though of course I wouldn't complain about some shows in this hemisphere. The last two WERE indeed pretty useless. |
| ____________________________________ [Oct 1,2005 10:35am - Kinslayer ""] Man excluding Emperor, that Wacken lineup sucks. |
| _____________________________________________ [Oct 1,2005 11:47am - DrinkHardThrashHard ""] I'm sure they'll add on a lot of better bands for Wacken, they always do. We won't just be stuck with Children of Boredom and In Extremo. I enjoyed the last two Emperor albums for what they were trying, but they were no 'Nightside Eclipse'. I do remember them actually saying that they just felt they had made the statement they wanted and would reform down the line if they felt they had anything new to offer, so this really isn't too much of a surprise. Now, when are Hexx, Midas Touch, and Deathrow coming back? :bow: |

| ________________________________ [Oct 1,2005 12:16pm - retzam ""] premature*? hyphen? eh? dunno |
| __________________________________ [Oct 1,2005 12:38pm - Sinistas ""] I hope they play The Tongue Of Fire. That would rule. |
| ____________________________________ [Oct 1,2005 2:20pm - Ninkaszi187 ""] they should have broke up after "anthems.." they lost the magick. even zyklon is better than the last two emperor records. |

I agree the stuff after Anthems was a let down. They are excellent live though. I am all for them getting back together. |
| ____________________________________ [Oct 1,2005 3:07pm - Ninkaszi187 ""] yes, they were great when they played at the palladium in 99. |
| ____________________________________________ [Oct 1,2005 4:26pm - DrinkHardThrashHard ""] That was a good show. |
| _____________________________ [Oct 1,2005 4:44pm - wade ""] well this gives me hope to see them play for the first time. i think IX Equilibrium is pretty solid with some low points but i could never get strongly into Prometheus. and i HAVE tried multiple times to "get it"... |
| ____________________________________________ [Oct 1,2005 4:53pm - DrinkHardThrashHard ""] The main draw for me on those last two albums was the guitar work, I was always just fascinated with the stuff Samoth was doing. My favorite album is easily Nightside Eclipse, probably my favorite symphonic black metal record ever. |

| ___________________________________ [Oct 2,2005 1:44am - anonymous ""] the last two albums were amazing, fuck nightside. |
| ____________________________________ [Oct 2,2005 1:57am - AUTOPSY_666 ""] That is just too retarded to even believe that last post. |
