Several photos of EMPEROR's surprise performance at Scream's 15-year anniversary party at Oslo, Norway's Rockefeller Friday night (Sept. 30) have been posted online at this location http://photobucket.com/albums/y196/xmetalerinx/ (all photos were taken by EMPEROR guitarist Samoth's wife Erin).

As previously reported, EMPEROR reunited after four years to play a surprise three-song set at Scream's anniversary event. Samoth told producer Patrizia Mazzuoccolo of the Norwegian metal radio show "Tinitus" that last night's performance was "a short teaser that we are using to announce full headline shows we are doing next year. This is a cooler way of announcing them instead of telling people through our web site." It was announced last night after the band's set that EMPEROR will headline the Inferno festival (April 13-15, 2006) in Oslo, Norway and Wacken Open Air (August 3-5, 2006) in Wacken, Germany next year.

The illustrious black metal band, whose split in 2001 took the scene by surprise, performed three tracks — "The Loss And Curse Of Reverence", "I Am The Black Wizards", "Inno A Satana" — and received a rapturous welcome by an ecstatic crowd.

damn, good setlist too...

U.S. Tour anyone?

theres a norwegian band called scream?

i only knew of the DC one.

.......it's Scream Magazine, a popular Norway metal publication, not a band (assuming you were serious).

good fucking god. they NEED to come to the US.

they won't

I thought it was an anniversary for the terrifying Neve Campbell thriller

We should get Raising Kubrick to reunite and have them open for Emperor in Boston!!!!!

I am guessing this is a joke in relation to Kevorkian's Angels and Gorgoroth, and if so I would just like to point out that 'WE' didn't book Gorgoroth, I did. If I ever landed a tour with Emperor on it, Sin of Angels would open it.

I dont know what youre talking about Joe. I know nothing of this "gorgoroth" show of which you speak.

THIS IS SO LAST WEEK.

dumbasses.. scream is the name of a band with 2 former emperor members.. not nearly as good as emperior.. i doubt it was emperior that was playing

anonymous said:

Yeah that Scream logo behind Samoth is a dead giveaway that it wasn't emperior playing.

anonymous said:

This is true, but the party they were playing was for Scream magazine, which just celebrated it's 100th issue, and 15 years.
