There are black metal albums and then there is In The Nightside Eclipse. Emperor's 1994 debut didn't just define a genre, it set coordinates that the rest of the scene has been navigating toward and away from ever since. Ihsahn, Samoth, Faust, Mortiis. A record made under circumstances that would become as notorious as the music itself.This 2007 limited edition box set is the version worth owning. The kind of release that acknowledges the album deserves more than a standard jewel case because it does. Atmospheric black metal this complete, this cold and orchestral and enormous, demands a physical artifact that reflects that weight. If your collection has room for one essential piece of Norwegian black metal history, this is where you start the argument.CD format, full length album, limited edition special box set released 2007. Artist origin: Norway. Genre: black metal.Fans of: Burzum, Darkthrone, Enslaved, Satyricon, Immortal
