Emperor - I Am The Black Wizards

[KILLEMALL7]

sounds soooooooo much sicker live!!!!

[captaincorpse1980]

My observation. To much hating, disagreeing, wankery, idiocy and not enough headbanging.

[alen104]

i want a tour with emperor ,enslaved ,immortal and marduk!!!!

[emperordobi]

I started listening to this when I was 15. I am now 18 and listen to electronic music but this still kicks fatty asses! Hail to the Emperor!

[productofthis]

@emperordobi wow you sure dedicated a big time to metal you pansy faggot.. i started when i was 15 too, now i'm 26

[emperordobi]

@productofthis I am just posting this to let you know that I am not willing to partake in any flaming that arises due to your low quotient of intelligence. Have a nice day.

[productofthis]

@emperordobi but you "partake" in being a faggot.. that's much worse

[leatherneck818]

This song makes the emo disappear!!!

[xeno6696]

@CreatORder Very true. Forgotten is that all of these Norwegian bands often rotated around when members were sick or couldn't play; they were a very tight-knit group that all had respect for each other. (At least in the beginning.)

[SamOnella1]

44 people are not black wizards...

[JonaChuckShuldiner]

Is he using A NAshville Guitar???

[Meller20]

@JonaChuckShuldiner

No dude. They bot use Jackson guitar in that gig. Cheers from Poland.

[ih8makinusernames]

the video looks like it was filmed in .05 megapixels but the music is all i really care about so its ok.

[AngelHolocaust666]

I AM THE BLACK WIZARDS!

[CreatORder]

Shut up about MARMADUKE..and suck my little GGAllin Cok because Gorgoroth Kills ALL

[Diddauberalles]

@CreatORder oh please not this again,choosing the best classic norwegian black metal band is like saying you like the girl to stand on her hands playing the fiddle while giving you a b.j, i mean, what the eff do you care as long as your mr. happy is well.. happy? This song is 1 of the best BMsongs evr.

what you need to do is drive really, really fast on a deserted narrow road whilst blasting this in your car; in rural Norway this passes for a great time, provided you have the right soundtrack:)

[Peppeblackmetal]

@CreatORder They kills everyone whit Gaal blowjobs?

[DominusLuna]

My favorite version of this song. All this fucking bickering between people when something is so obviously great really serves no purpose. Save the anger for these lying liberal cunts in office and remove them one by one - starting with the half-breed moron at the helm.

[Practice9Perfection]

What is he saying at the beginning???

[emperordobi]

@Practice9Perfection "you know this next song... I want you to really bang on this one"

not sure but I guess that's it. :)

[polygott]

You know that childs' toy when they have to fit a star into a star shape, a moon into a moon's shape and so on. I believe everyone has his own shape of musical where he/she is looking for music to fit in... now as for me, Emperor fits to the last molekule and atomic particle. Each time I listen to Emperor I wonder how it is possible that such music exists at all... and all I feel is gratitude.

[PaganDeath]

awesome

[Pierrick2009]

I was at that gig, 3rd row in front of Samoth! :D

[angleisthebest]

I still got the cassette of this from their split debut with Enslaved. Man its been what, over 15 years since then, and I still fucking love this band.

[Mephistopholes666]

Awesome.

[GoodOldDeathMetal]

mejor live que en la pista jaja

[grgo00]

0:27 sounds like mother north

[greatmustis]

great song¡¡¡

[infinitytru]

great live preformance

[HeavyMetalNeverDies7]

un pelao que cante black metal? xD

la weaaaa lol

[Rheaume100]

Check out,,,BEHEXEN--(my soul for his glory)

[heavyblackrock]

buena banda emperor, es d mis favoritas

[southplnk]

they stopped wearing it 1995

[Apostasy13]

The stopped in 93 already. But they were wearing a very decent face-paint during "Emperial Anthems" tour 1997.

[TheFingerbang1]

My friends and I are the dudes the camera keeps going back to in the front row!!! ten years shoots by so fast...

[bloodcorer]

the last min is so majestic!!!

[vrfl]

Whenever this song comes up I oil up my midget girlfriend and party!

[chokolate999]

goddd i cannot help but headbang to this epic song!

[666nekrobutcher]

Emperor es black metal e Immortal es Holocaust metal, existe mucha semejansa en la letra si se dan cuenta, pro se pasa con el vestuario el ritmo, el show y todo eso, pro para mi Emperor es el mjor grupo de blackmetal , ya q tiene trallectoria buena tematica tecnica buena presentacion y a ishan q es un vrdadero genio

HAIL EMPEROR

HAIL BLACKMETAL

HAIL SATAN!!!!!

[TheSuperlucametal]

viva la figa!

[Coreyf24]

Emperor and Immortal should do a tour together. Get the best two black metal bands together, would be fucking epic! I'd fly pretty much anywhere to see Immortal and Emperor in one place at the same time.

[BarnacleEd]

Especially with the new Immortal album coming out. That would be SO FUCKING AWESOME.

[chokolate999]

aaahhhhh that'd be AMAZING

[ih8makinusernames]

@Coreyf24 dude that would be so epic.

[haggard2007]

emperor esta un nivel mas arriba que todos.

[anceloti987]

mmm no creo que emperor este un nivel mas arriba que otras bandas del black

[m83gamal]

words are written by Mortiis i surfed all over the net to get any information about this wizard but couldnt get it done, any idea folks?

[HeLLofNorTH]

HAIL TO MY FOREVER EMPEROR!!!!

[Spoons15322]

I didn't know Michael Stipe did Metal..

[santafuria2]

You're wrong. It's Billy Corgan. : )

[Spoons15322]

Lol I s'pose you're right.

[Dhalsim06]

Legendary band and fucking epic song!

I'm convinced System of a Down stole the riff from this song and put it into "Revenga"

[canceladorox]

i just heard the riff you mentioned, it sound very much alike but still different... why are you hearing system of a down anyway!??!?!

[ruisperkele]

Don´t mean to be pedantic, but it´s not quite the same. And being such a simple riff it just could be a coincidence, couldn´t it.

[Dhalsim06]

whatever

[chicolay]

motherfucker yankesssssssssssssssssssssssss­sssssssss.....................­...........

[Jwflo85]

...Summon the sooouls of macrocosm! Always been my favorite part.

[jimmyhommie]

ALL PRAISE THE EMPEROR!!!!!!!!

[bloodcorer]

IAM THEM!!!!!!

[endkashika]

iiii am theeem ;(

[gfruy]

just wanted to say. I dont mean to start flame wars now... its just a voice of opinion... I have nothing against emperor... Infact i'm new to genres like melodic black metal and was trying to branch out and listen to more bands which is how i stumbled across this video

[alco1983888888888888]

emperor are good, i wouldnt say great though, some ppl are getting carried away with the comments ive seen, they are good but theres only a few actually good songs like 'with strength i burn' they are'nt anywhere near as good as dimmu borgir, marduk, gorgoroth etc, alot of emperor songs just sound like complete khaos, just like everyone is hitting everything as fast as they can, more so than a structured piece

[moomoocowcowcow]

That is by far the most retarded comment I've ever seen. To not call Emperor's pieces structured is analogous to not calling Morbid Angel death metal; in fact, they were one of the first (and arguably the best) to add more structure to the genre by incorporating classical themes.

Oh wait.. you included Marduk in that list, yet were calling Emperor unstructured. Yeah, you seriously don't know what the fuck you are talking about.

[mallorcametal3]

I was about to reply to Alco but you did a great job lol

if people think all they hear is chaos, they have to try the prometheus album, the production is clear and you can see how amazing their songwriting can get.. I mean, they have progressions and phrases in there which are unique in black metal and in most of the music. it takes a few listens to pick up, though.

[nerizor]

Anyone saying that Marduk is organized and structured is probably about just as stupid as someone claiming that Slipknot is Death Metal. Meaning, stupid enough to deserve a bullet in the fuckin head.

[Vaginnaut]

well...i'm the "anyone" and the stupid one is u and all 5 others giving u thumbup...coz u problably heard only panzier division marduk or the later Marduk albums...did u ever hear Nightwing or Heaven shall burn? probably not...songs like Dracul va domni di nou, Wolves, Materialized in stone...and many many others from Marduk...sure slipknot is shit....but not old marduk

[gfruy]

True true... well spoken... Now Dimmu Borgir is a band which has never failed to mystify me... Tracks like raabjorn speiler draugheimens skodde, da den kristne savet livet til, Alt lys er svunnet hen etc are few to name which blew me away the first time i heard it...

[XxsorgxX]

yeah...stormblast (stormblown) w/e, was a really fuckin kick ass album!!!!!ireally enjoyed gettin my hands on the original one....*yet ive never heard the re made one all the way through*

[timma00004]

Fucking Australians and there opinions. Did you get your opinions of emperor from youtube? the quality of there albums is way better and had you heard any of them you would not leave that comment. Ihsahn the lead singer is acclaimed the best guitarist in nord black metal.

[420Sabbath]

don't be ignorant

[boripx7]

Hidup PERSIB!!!!

[2dark7]

the best ever.. no one will match them hell ya

[ArnoldVeeman]

They Rule!

[Narthumpulous]

Anyone know where I can download an mp3 of this version of the song?

[Sabbath629]

Buy the Emperial live Ceremony cd.

[bloodcorer]

the last minute is so fucking sick majestic!!!!!!!!!!!

[Filosofem2008]

this song is just awesome.

[MetallicBill]

There is just a SH*T load of comment in this, damn!

[bloodcorer]

true majestic lyricks

[tzaboath]

I can´t wait for the new stuff DVD CD EP, etc...

[southplnk]

when?

[tzaboath]

Ep is already out. The dvd + vinyl will be out in the end of this month, April...

[xYuki7]

Oh fuck yea kickassest song ever man

[DominusLuna]

My favorite version of this song. Love the desolate and lonely words though it's self imposed.A few choice lyrics that embody 'the spirit' of the song. Awesome stuff.

"Once destroyed their souls are being summoned to my timeless prison of hate!

It is delightful to feast upon the screaming souls that were destroyed in my future!

Forever they are in the hills in their stone homes of grief! Because I am the spirit of their existence!"....."I AM THEM!"

"I AM THEM!"

[AtreyuDerry666]

emperor fucking rule lethal song

[SlayerAOD]

perfect

[tryambakas]

[666marduk07]

[anathemasserenades]

Best performance of the best song from the best band

[SplinterCell49]

this is a masterpiece

[eatdustburnfast]

indeed this song is incredible!!

only thy true master could write thee ;)

[dilinger83]

I am the black wizards or mother north?? Tough question..

[alextre77]

well both are masterpieces, cant say which is "better". both have this icy atmo, just pure norway, cold freezy montains, dark forests...

starting form 1:54 i really cried at this slow part of this song, pure melancholy, sad and happy at once..incredible, the essence of pure melancholy

[Rilyn666]

EXACTLY HOW I FEEL WHEN I HEAR CERTAIN BLACK METAL SONGS! its strange man u jus get this overwhelming rush of emotions. black metal is so misunderstood its silly

[MetallicBill]

Same damn thing is true for Christianity in metal and rock, STRYPER FTW! haha

[StrifeIsHere]

Who posts STRYPER FTW on a Black Metal video? Haha.

[WarHeartInme]

I don't know, I really like both..

[m83gamal]

hahaha satyricon!!

[Burzum5]

this song is awesome due to a lot of things, one of them are the fucking chorus! I feel chicken skin every time I hear it

[frosti7]

Best BM song ever.

[BMasterBM]

The fucking best

[BMasterBM]

FUCK yea...my all time fav by these guys

[KaitarBesh]

This is my all time favorite black metal song. Wonderful.

[flamingcookbook]

SHIT SONG BY A SHIT BAND.

[Loves2spooge696]

Says a faggot bitch who listenes to Norah Jones? Okay.........

Get the fuck out of here. May the emperor piss on you!

[Arahuan133]

Well said.

[iadumboros]

Gay is the new black metal. Gaahl proves it!!!

If you don't do bumsedx you're not BM.

Jesus cries every time a willy goes in a man's bum.

None more anti-christian than bumsex!!

[Loves2spooge696]

Hahah. Maybe it proves the freedom. Gaahl's orientation is a HUGE middle finger to all christians

[snakeintheshadow]

Nah...what about Norah Jones?She´s a great singer^^

Okay,I mean...well...Emperoro are fucking great.

But Norah jones is ok in what she does....know what i mean?^^

[timma00004]

i might upload the dvd but i dont know i need convincing. It would be way better quality and i think anyone who hasn't see the full dvd that is emperial live ceremony is missing out.

[FTS0892]

cool..i like the symphonic melody BM FOREVER !

[kukkopoika1981]

"are you ready for something older!??" Fuckin´HELL YEAH!! Emperor wipes out everything,INNO A SATANA!!!

[andjelopo]

How can one man be Fuckin Wizards??!!!ahahahhahahahha

[FroogleEatsGoogle]

if you would read the lyrics, you could understand the title

[andjelopo]

WTF???!!!I am the black wizards?!!!haahhhahahahdadahah­ahahaaahah

[blackjesus187]

I can only say yes. This is why I still listen to metal...that and older Naglfar...

[romanblood]

I didn't know he had a shaved head at one point.

[alexlloyd69]

What the hell...

[heresjonnylawl]

Dissection is melodic death metal/black metal.  That is definite.

[runcis182]

which year live is this, if Ihsahn have bold head...

[atheist23]

if i remember right it was in 1999

[CursedToExist]

One of the sickest videos ever \m/

[obZen00]

this and bathory's necromansy are my fave black metal tracks ever:D

[sasabe121]

kinhotri, really, who cares? shut the fuck up.

[fallenpfa]

yeah

[sasabe121]

the best black metal song.

[kinhotri]

I insist, they seems to be a rock pop band.

[WsMSnLs]

fucking love this song play this shit and get faded as fuck!! \;;/

[kinhotri]

I fucking love this song, but extreme music doesn't fit with no corpse paint, spikes and white t-shirt.

[VulgarDisplay13]

are you 11? this music is not about image

[AngryBes88]

It is to an extent, at least in black metal, would you take bands seriously if they were wearing pink panties?I doubt it. Music is a form of expression, so is your look, they complement each other, and therefore shouldn't contradict.

[fallenpfa]

hahahaha one bad guy, dissection never use corpse paint and always kick your ass.

[AngryBes88]

Dissection is not even Black metal, fool

[fallenpfa]

but its better, when i hear for first time emperor, emperor was a good band, and then they have problems whit game child black metal mafia, and have changes and never be equal, and let me tell you something, when i heard for first time emperor you are a child whit his mother, fool.

when you play to be a power fag, i hear black metal, child, dissection is black/death metal, and they used raccoon paint hahaha, only in her eyes, but nothing need corpse paint, look marylin manson its a fucking fag

[moomoocowcowcow]

I have no idea what the fuck fallenpfa just posted, but it was of some kind of greatness.

[youreafukcingclown]

umm no, actually you could call early Dissection black metal if you wanted to. it was structured like death metal though, and unlike most black metal, the music wasn't really ideological.

and while I somewhat agree with what you said in your earlier post, the actual music itself will still always be much more important than how you look like on stage.

[gh0stm0n]

This song did it all... got me head-first into black metal, all ov the world ov worms + Mortiis side-projects, Thou Shalt Suffer, Peccatum, WTFOMFG.

Wear your Emperor Death t-shirt with pride! I sure do! Hail! \m/ \m/

[OfTheWillows]

i don't like chunky riffs.

[666Desolate999]

Classic,,true melodic black metal,,like Dissection, Sear Bliss, Lunar Aurora, Graveland...

[HypnoticSpecter]

Graveland is not melodic black metal

[666Desolate999]

To (HypnoticSpecter),,It depends on what your deffinition of melodic black metal is to you,..what i ment was that it is black metal with some form of melody within the music,I was not reffering to Graveland as a Cradle of filth grade meaningless keybord wanking melodic black metal band,,to me true melodic black metal is early Satyricon,Dimmu Borgir (For All Tid),Sear Bliss,Emperor...go and listen to "Witches Holocaust" and "Barbarism Returns" from Carpathian Wolves and tell me its not melodic,,

[SATANICXUL]

DISSECTION was never BLACK METAL!

TRUE FUCKING DETAH METAL WITH THE RIGHT ATTITUDE!

[LolEpicFailGuy]

Dissection IS black metal. Its just tinged with Gothenburg. Great band, along with Emperor.

[BannerOfBlasfemy]

There will be a time when college ends, i'll maybe have a family, a job, some major duties, but always will be a place in my heart for metal. and for emperor. and i will always have o moment for listening some things or play them on the guitar. long live the emperor!

[1983metalhead]

well said man, from the cradle to the grave!!!

[boyevil666]

khessni n3raf chkon hada eli f jaber baghi ysma3 burzum o emperor jejejejeje

[romulux7]

ive allways wanted to see hell hammer play with emperor that would be bad ass

[NilsRattan]

he hasnt played with emperor. thats trym on the drums when they played in london

[2ejbed]

3:43 my fav xD

[Cosmos135498]

totally agree!!

[Asleeaslee]

hmm.. am I the only one who thinks that Ihsahn looks like a dog in this vid? Badass, but still, reminds me a little of dog

[moomoocowcowcow]

You must be high...

[BannerOfBlasfemy]

I'm not high. I just love this. metal is my life. if you don't feel like me you cannot understand. but maybe you do...

[Blackened619]

If you don't love metal when you hear metal for the first time as well as the last you never will and you can never understand. Metal is something that has to be felt. If you truly love metal you don't grow into it or out of it it is simply what you are.

[Asleeaslee]

The best song of all times. And btw, Mustaine sucks compared to Ihsahn, Ihsahn is a friggin' genious!

[neviem666]

freebeerandhotdogs...burzum means Darkness but also light...interesting it has two meanings LIGHT and DARKNESS...burzum

[jose3519]

The Dave Mustaine of black metal

Hail Ishahn

[Thrasherdude]

haha ya except Ishahn is not a bitch and throws random fits.

[jose3519]

Ok I mean the Dave Mustaine who died like 5 years ago

[jose3519]

15 years I mean,anyway Ishahn is 1000 times better

[jose3519]

Oh fuck,nevermind my comment,I wanted to say that Ihsahn is for me the Dave Mustaine of black metal,THAT Dave Mustaine who died like 15 years ago.

[Kole777]

The chick at :59 looks a little out of place.
