Emperor are the first black metal band i ever got into, unfortunately just under a year after they broke up. I've always hoped they'd get back together so when they announced they were going to reunite I was fuckin there. They played two shows in New York and two in California, and that's it for the entire US. the New York shows were fucking amazing! Samoth couldn't get in the country due to visa issues, though, which made the sound and the mix a bit thin, they were definitely missing him.
