Wrath of the Tyrant (Paperback)

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Wrath of the Tyrant is an album of demo recordings released in 1992 by the black metal band Emperor. This batch of recordings shows an extreme difference in sound versus later albums, more akin to lo-fi death metal. Because of the poor production, many have found this release offputting and/or frightening, although it is not unlike the low production quality demos of many other black metal groups of the time. This was the only time Emperor ever used down-tuned-guitars: the album was recorded in D standard, which was determined by Ygg's and Samoth's experience with death metal. "My Empire's Doom" eventually metamorphosed into "Beyond the Great Vast Forest" on the band's debut album, In the Nightside Eclipse.
