  Emperor - Romantic Black Metal
The articulation of complexity distinguishes this band from most popular or underground composers, although the basic elements are very similar: crossing structures of fragments of scales, interacting in power chord DNA nirvana between the greater movements of the song.
Counteraction comes in the composition behind what Emperor have wrought, which is both excellent and heartlessly vacant, the latter more pronounced in relative opposition to their older work and in that illustrative of the crisis of this work: it lacks the intensity and direction of older works which stood farther apart from the herd.
A crowd recording of Emperor at the time of their "In the Nightside Eclipse Material," this lengthy recording of legendary material suspends its songs in the muffling effects of distance and obstacle yet remains amazingly listenable as these neoclassical fl metal epics emerge from the chaos.

 Emperor (band)
Emperor is an infamous Norwegian fl metal band that was formed in 1991.
Emperor supported the famous British fl metal group Cradle Of Filth on tour, and after this tour the band ceased wearing corpsepaint; they stated that it was becoming a trend and losing its original significance and symbolism.
After Samoth's parole, the band was joined by Trym on drums, and in the end of 1996, Emperor entered the studio to record what is their most definitive album to date - Anthems To The Welkin At Dusk.

 CMT.com : Emperor : Biography
Emperor evoked not only Satanic horror, but also the frigid loneliness of bleak Scandinavian winters; additionally, images of pagan nature worship recalled an ancient, idealized pre-Christian past in which Scandinavian culture was one of the world's most dominant (resulting in the sound being tagged "Viking metal" by some).
Emperor's original lineup featured vocalist/guitarist/keyboardist Ihsahn, bassist Mortiis (who has been credited with the band's initial interest in Norwegian folk), and drummer Samoth; this trio recorded a demo, Wrath of the Tyrant, in late 1992, and soon added drummer Faust (born Bard G. Eithun), with Samoth switching to guitar.
The quartet recorded a split EP with the band Enslaved titled Hordanes Land, after which Mortiis was forced to leave the group -- and the country -- for unspecified reasons; he moved to Sweden and pursued a solo career, often appearing costumed as an elf.

 Commentary by Arnold J. Band on "The King and the Emperor"
Actually, the emperor's daughter is the protagonist here while the king's son remains in exile and servitude until she redeems him at the end of the story.
The four episodes in which the emperor's daughter is the protagonist are designed to elevate her to a position of royal power and wealth from which she can declare that all exiles must be returned to the capital for the festivities accompanying her marriage.
Were this story a simple romance, the emperor's daughter would have stayed on as king in her new kingdom, or, at least, the reader would expect some development to explain how the emperor's daughter revealed that she was really a woman masquerading as a man and how she was received when she returned home.

Being Emperor in the Roman Empire was not a constitutional office but rather a complicated collection of offices, titles, and honours, that were consolidated around a single person (while in the republic the "taking of turns", often in shared offices, had been the principle for passing on power).

It sets a new standard of complexity for the band (one which they have not reached since) and certainly for pop music, which is nowadays all but devoid of innovation and intelligence.

The band does indulge in some trademark noodling during "Metronomic Underground" and the tail end of "Olv 26," but these excursions are still focused, never aimless.
