Sadly, this is the final release by this great band – and what
a farewell it is. They’ve managed to one-up every other
black metal band with this release,
Prometheus captures the best of their previous works while
making progressions in style, technicality and ferocity. The
production is great, showcasing all the musical elements. I
wasn’t aware before of how good a drummer Trym is, his
playing is unbelievable, blasting away into emptiness. As
usual the guitar playing is amazing straying from brutal
black/death metal riffage to some prog/jazz elements. Wow!
Brutality and melody intertwined with symphonic guitar
orchestrations equally perplexing and entrancing, what a
fitting end to a brilliant career. All hail Emperor! – Greg Manz
