This attribute controls the content of the description and og:description elements. | Emperor is, or was, a Norwegian Black Metal band, founded in 1991 by Ihsahn, Samoth and 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 90's, and following the recording of their first full-length album two members were arrested and imprisoned, Samoth for arson and drummer Faust for murder (no jaywalking charges were reported). Samoth was released after 18 months, but Trym of 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 "the final nail in the coffin" for the band. |
