After the 1997's metal monster "Anthems to the Welkin at dusk", the norwegian bloodhounds Emperor recorded what i call, the perfect follow up. Although "Anthems..." is a practically impossible album to be equaled, "IX Equilibrium" transforms the ideas of the last work in an excellent way, and takes them to a different level; The structure is quite more technical, and more brutal, but the intensity remains. The band's natural virtuosity acts by itself, and here we confirmate the thing that makes Emperor the best: Unity. Read more ›› |

Unlike the first two Emperor albums, this one doesn't really click with me. The ocassional high-pitched "heavy metal vocals" really are out-of-place too. Sounds damn silly. Yeah, I guess I'll just stick with the brilliant In The Nightside Eclipse.

Awesome album. I love the guitar work on this one. Solid production; raw but listenable. Favorite track: An Elegy of Icaros.

Musicaly its good, a bit avantgardish but band song titles somehow don't talk to me, needs be more epic
