Emperor released their first full length album "In The Nightside Eclipse" in 1994. At the time, Emperor's line-up consisted of Ihsahn on lead guitars, vocals and keyboards, Samoth on guitars, Tchort on bass and Faust on drums. This album is indeed a masterpiece album in the Black Metal genre. It consists of ten tracks including the bonus tracks "A Fine Day To Die" (Bathory cover) and "Gypsy" (Merciful Fate cover). Alver (bass), Trym (drums) and Charmand Grimloch (keyboards) make appearances on the two cover songs.

Behold the greatest symphonic black metal release ever! "In The Nightside Eclipse" is one of the most important albums in the 90's Norwegian black metal scene. Consisting of 8 tracks plus two covers (Bathory - "A Fine Day To Die" and King Diamond's "Gypsy") this album has managed to show the listeners that black metal can be raw and extremely melodic at the same time.

  This would be a perfect album if only the vocals were mixed louder

I don't know why but I actually like the shitty production. Adds to the atmosphere and classic black metal sound imo.

Usually, I would agree. Albums like Transilvanian Hunger and Burzum benefit A LOT from their shitty production. But on this type of Black Metal, I would prefer a BIT cleaner production. My opinion at least.

Come on, the production here is very good in black metal standards.

Rating: 8 I agree about the vocals. You can't really hear them a lot of the time.

Rating: 9 It has been a while since i gave this a good listen, however I am doing so right now (on my kick ass new cd player) and i forgot how good this album is!! Its like sweet and sour chicken, sour where you want it with some sweet symphonic sauce on top.
