I am the Black Wizards
Mightiest am I, but I am not alone in this cosmos of mine. For the
black hills consists of black souls, souls that already dies one
thousand deaths. Behind the stone walls of centuries they breed their
black art. Boiling their spells in cauldrons of black gold. Far up in
the mountains, where the rain fall not far, yet the sun cannot
reach. The wizards, my servants, summon the souls of macrocosm. No age
will escape my wrath. I travel through time and I return to the
future. I gather wisdom now lost. I visit again the eternally ancient
caves, before a mighty Emperor thereupon came. Watching the mortals
"discovering" my chronicles, guarded by the old demons, even unknown
to me. Once destroyed their souls are being summoned to my timeless
prison of hate. It is delightful to feast upon the screaming souls
that was destroyed in my future. How many wizards that serve me with
evil. I know not. My empires has no limits. From the never ending
mountains black, to the bottomless lakes. I am the ruler and has been
for eternity's long. My wizards are many, but their essence is
mine. Forever there are in the hills in their stone homes of
grief. Because I am the spirit of their existence. I am them.
Cosmic Keys to My Creations And Times
The heaves are lit by the stars where years of secrets of universal
forces lay hid. They shine so bright, but yet they have seen more evil
than time itself. Reflected in the deepless lakes they are drowning in
black elements. They are the planetary keys to unlimited wisom and
power for the Emperor to obtain.They being the gods of the wolves whom
upon they bark at night, requesting their next victim in thirst of
blood. I enjoy those moments I may haunt with these beats of the night.
What kinds of beings are existing at the deeps of my lakes? They
surely must be of an evil race, for no friendly thing can live in such
depressive waters. Here is also a planet similar to the moon, but its
phases is only one abd it is in its most powerful for all and ever...
There passes no light without the barking of the wolves. All these
landscapes are timeless, and this is all just a part of cosmos, but
all is mine and past and future is yet to discover... Much have been
discovered, but tomorrow I will realise I existed before myself. I
will be reborn before I die. I will realise planets ages old, created
by a rules with a crown of dragon claws, arrived with a stargate...

Emperor's first cd clearly shows that this is going to be one of the best black metal bands around. The production is very vague, but you can already hear Emperor's perfect blend of fast and melodic black metal. With four great songs, this is a must for every black metal fan.
