Alsvartr (The Oath) Hark, O' Nightspirit Father of my dark self From within this realm, wherein Thou dwelleth By this lake of blood, from which we feed to breed I call silently from Thy presence, as I lay this oath May this night carry my will And may these old mountains forever remember this night May the forest whisper my name And may the storm bring these words to the end of all worlds May the wise moon be my witness As I swear on my honor In respect of my pride and darkness itself That I shall rule by the blackest wisdom O' Nightspirit I am one with thee I am the eternal power I am the Emperor Winds and storms. embrace us now Lay waste the light of day Open gates to darker lands We spread our wings and fly away
This album is a work of pure art, ultimate perfection. It was my door into Black Metal (through The Loss and Curse of Revence, which is my all time favourite hymn). Hail Emperor! Hail Ihsahn! Hail Black Metal!
"...we spread our wings and fly away!", then the killer Euronymous riff starts, and the mighty Trym takes it to another level with the furious blasting. Too good, too good.
black metal is one of the purest, strongest and captivating music genres ever. no other genre of music will awake so much feelings in inside of you, whatever these feeling are!!!! HAIL METAL. WORLDWIDE, UNTIL WE DIE AND FOREVER!!!!!!!
Ye Entrancemperium Drawn towards these lands again Seeking death and sacred soil I ride the longing winds of my blackened soul Growing stronger once I enter my empire beyond Emperium Behold my coming The fullmoon ride above me Enlightening my realm in a silvery glow Yet the shadows crawl beneath my storming sky Guarding treasures from forbidden light I still remember, though ages ago it seems The first time I entered the gates The revelation of ritual death By which I became divine Sacrifice of the life I had among the flesh of the light And now I enter again Even stronger, yet amazed by what I see In ecstasy I mock the world Suddenly I memorize Asking what I left behind Nothing Can I ever comprehend? Will my longing never end? Never! Drawn towards these lands again Seeking death and sacred soil I ride the longing winds of my blackened soul Eternally
May this night carry my will And may these old mountains forever remember this night May the forest whisper my name And may the storm bring these words to the end of all worlds
This album never gets old... >10 years later, this one is still in regular rotation for me even though I don't listen to black metal much these days. I'm more of a tech/death metal girl, but this album takes the cake.
@@metalheadindian9174 WHOA. It is RARE to find someone who appreciates Reinkaos as much as I do. People shit on that album all the time but I think it's amazing. It's very close to being just a rock album but it has some great riffs and is fucking dark as shit. Almost like a contrarian album with its relatively tame music but transcendentally dark lyrics. One of my top 5 for sure.
@Kevin Cannon This is me, almost a year later. I still love Reinkaos but The Somberlain and Storm of the light's bane have overtaken its position. It's still a fantastic record. You go mate!!!
ttssssssssasss! I still remember the first time I listened this song! I already had Emperor/Enslaved split (on cassette!) and already seen the "loss of curse and reverence" video (on MTV headbangers). This album overpassed my expectatives by far back then and is still one of my favorite metal albums of all time. And I liked how it was advertised back in 1997: "The Return of EMPEROR - often imitated but never equaled"
Alsvartr (The Oath) Hark, O'Nightspirit, father of my dark self. From within this realm, wherein Thou dwelleth, by this lake of blood, from which we feed to breed, I call silently from Thy presence, as I lay this oath. May this night carry my will and may these old mountains forever remember this night. May the forest whisper my name and may the storm bring these words to the end of all worlds. May the wise moon be my witness as I swear on my honor, in respect of my pride and darkness itself, that I shall rule by the blackest wisdom. O'Nightspirit! I am at one with thee. I am the eternal power. I am the Emperor. Winds and storms, embrace us now. Lay waste the light of day. Open gates to darker lands. We spread our wings and fly away. Ye Entrancemperium Drawn towards these lands again. Seeking death and sacred soil. I ride the longing winds of my blackened soul, growing stronger once I enter my empire beyond. Emperium! Behold my coming. The fullmoon rise above me, enlightening my realm in a silvery glow. Yet the shadows crawl beneath my storming sky, guarding treasures from forbidden light. I still remember, though ages ago it seems, the first time I entered the gates, the revelation of ritual death by which I became divine. Sacrifice of the life I had among the flesh of the light. And now I enter again. Even stronger, yet amazed by what I see. In ecstasy I mock the world. Suddenly I memorize, asking what I left behind. Nothing. Can I ever comprehend? Will my longing ever end? Never. Drawn towards these lands again. Seeking death and sacred soil. I ride the longing winds of my blackened soul eternally.
This ominous intro and opening song blew me away back when I was 17. Later I would get into their earlier, darker material, and many other landmark black metal records, but it was this album, as well as Samael's Ceremony of Opposites, that introduced me to black metal.
the best albun of history of the music!!!!! "emperor is the majestic of music" ¡emperor es lo mejor que existe a nivel musical, deja en ridiculo a todos los grupos que se la dan de virtuosos!. "ojala vuelvan". sus cuatro discos siguen dando catedra de como hacer musica de nivel mas que extraordinario. ¡¡son lo mejor de lo mejor.!! ¡siguen siendo los emperadores!.
Im sure I am the only one but I really wish they would remix the production this album. I think it would sound amazing to have the drums and vocals stand out a bit more.
As a comparison Chuck Shuldiner of Death was a nice guy, wasn't into killing or mutilating, yet he was Death Metal's finest musician. I call your comment out as bullshit.
The transition from the intro into Entrancempyrium is too great to not have these 2 tracks on one vid.
It's something very unique.
Indeed. I knew it had uploaded as one video somewhere
Honestly never thought I would like this kind of music but here we are.
Hey. What music were you into before, if I may?
@@agnieszkuHello. I was and still am into classic heavy metal and blues.
didnt like Emperor back then; saw them wacken 2006 live. awesome show
the clean guitar at the start is amazing, never heard this before.
Lots of new ideas were born. A milestone classic.
I agree, the intro track is very underrated imo
Sick intro, very evil, very beautiful.
One of Euronymous' last contributions to music forever engraved in Emperor's riff on Yeentrancempirium 🇳🇴🇳🇴🇳🇴 Long live the Kings of Black!!!
I did not know he did the opening riff to Ye Enterceptium until this comment
Can someone spell the title correctly please
@@toprak3479 😁
4:39 is the pinnacle of black metal
The drumming on this part is fucking insane
nothing else will ever reach such great heights
@@Reftsquabble so sad to think he will never get the true recognition he deserves... Hail Emperor🤘🤘

In the Nightside Eclipse is better
@@cvrsedealer this is better but Eclipse is very close
@@cvrsedealer Anthems at the Welkins at dusk and Reinkaos are the greatest Black Metal albums ever.

This song is my must have everytime i get drunk and come back home. My lifeline
Best black metal album ever.
This album is perfection.
This is a monster track. But somehow 7:50-8:41 is my favorite part. Really digging these vocal harmonies.
this album set the bar....brilliant

No

My first CD with my money...I remember those days
When you had money? Get kids and then you´ll never see them... I have 3
This is Black Metal Royalty!!! All Hail EMPEROR!!!
? Emperor is one of the oldest BM bands we have in Norway, they are legend
Kim nielsen ; best line up ever!
6:20
darkest riff ever
tkslain and hard as fuck to play
4:20 is my favorite. I heard it is by Euronimous
RIIIGHGHHGHGHGHGT
@@AndyGrouch It is hard to play Samoth's part.Ihsahn's part will not let you down to play because it easier.
Yep and incredible to get the idea to compose this and make it sound great
Masterpiece songs from a masterpiece album!!!🔥🔥 Mighty Emperor!!🤘🏻🔥🇳🇴
escuchar esto en vivo fue magnífico...
Opino igual
Alsvartr (The Oath)
Hark, O'Nightspirit,
father of my dark self.
From within this realm, wherein Thou dwelleth,
by this lake of blood, from which we feed to breed,
I call silently from Thy presence, as I lay this oath.
May this night carry my will
and may these old mountains
forever remember this night.
May the forest whisper my name
and may the storm bring these words
to the end of all worlds.
May the wise moon be my witness
as I swear on my honor,
in respect of my pride and darkness itself,
that I shall rule by the blackest wisdom.
O'Nightspirit!
I am at one with thee.
I am the eternal power.
I am the Emperor.
Winds and storms, embrace us now.
Lay waste the light of day.
Open gates to darker lands.
We spread our wings and fly away.
Ye Entrancemperium
Drawn towards these lands again.
Seeking death and sacred soil.
I ride the longing winds of my blackened soul,
growing stronger once I enter my empire beyond.
Emperium!
Behold my coming.
The fullmoon rise above me,
enlightening my realm in a silvery glow.
Yet the shadows crawl beneath my storming sky,
guarding treasures from forbidden light.
I still remember,
though ages ago it seems,
the first time I entered the gates,
the revelation of ritual death
by which I became divine.
Sacrifice of the life I had
among the flesh of the light.
And now I enter again.
Even stronger, yet amazed by what I see.
In ecstasy I mock the world.
Suddenly I memorize,
asking what I left behind.
Nothing.
Can I ever comprehend?
Will my longing ever end?
Never.
Drawn towards these lands again.
Seeking death and sacred soil.
I ride the longing winds of my blackened soul
eternally.
The Parabol+Parabola of Black Metal.
I am a Big fan of both of the Bands :) You are right!

Blasphemy.
@@endlesspath3044 I disagree
I thought so too for a bit but you'd never get the amazing atmosphere without that wall-of-noise production!
I could imagine the intro playing in Diablo.
The intro oh the intro
HAIL
5:24 AAAAAAAAAAAA
That riff is the best fucking thing Ive ever heard
4:20 Euronymous could write a sick riff
5:40 nice part
Mami mami. Ayer tuve un sueño acerca de las fantasías y dr las flores.
Recuerdos arcaicos...
7:12
best 1-2 punch in black metal, maybe in all metal
saw them with borknagar on the IX equilibrium tour, fucking destroyed.
I saw them as well in 99 in Richmond in one crazy small venue. That show still tops as the best show of my life being in such an intimate venue.
es la misma que aparece en uno de los videos de florecita dreams donde aparece los momos japoneses
Yo la escuche en el video de "callte el osico"de florecita dreams
5 Voters drowned themselves in this lake of blood from which we feed.....
guy must be a genius
Long live EMPEROR
3:30
the gold standard
que buena canción. vine aquí por florecita dreams. el video que se llama “callate el hocico”
otimo...

Truth.
...and Gaahl gives kisses to his boyfriend, that's so evil too!
Gaahl:
...satan
*sips wine*
How black metal must sound.
Exactly.
Is it also evil and black metal to posture in the UA-cam comments section?
I agree. Let Witch Metal poison our sad souls forever!
Royal black metal bloods...
I want to know who are the 5 Dislikerssssss
IM THE 40.666 VIEWER.....JUST TELLING...:)
now it has 666 LIKES!!!
Yes of course, Samoth is god..
Thanks for clarification, master of the black metal arts!
Now, go listen to your "True Black Metal" shit.
The only good black metal band out there. The rest is pure cringe.
