Black metal pioneers held a livestream event, A Night Of Emperial Wrath 2021, on May 23rd, which include guest appearances from ex-members Mortiis and Faust. 2021 marks 30 years since the formation of extreme metal pioneers, Emperor. Formed in 1991, their game-changing debut In The Nightside Eclipse (1995) set the template for symphonic, bombastic, melodic black metal, whilst their follow-up record, Anthems To The Welkin At Dusk (1997) became an instant hit.
