REVIEW: Emperor - Prometheus: The Discipline Of Fire & Demise Candlelight Records, 2001
10/10
Emperor - Prometheus: The Discipline Of Fire & Demise - cover art Enter The Eruption. Let me describe what first went on when I listened to Prometheus: The Discipline of Fire and Demise. One day I bought three CDs: Whoracle by In Flames, Master of Reality by Black Sabbath, and Prometheus by Emperor. When I came back, my family was waiting for me to get ready so we could go to Applebee’s. Despite this being sprung on me at the last minute, I was eager to go, but not before sampling my new CDs. First went Master of Reality, and then Whoracle. Impressed but unmoved by these, I threw in Prometheus, and pushed the play button. Whispering, I hear Samoth hiss the words “And after years in dark tunnels, he came to silence. There was nothing…” Wow. My heart starts beating a bit faster and I realize how creepy my room looks in the dark. I awkwardly turn on the light as a classical, Bach-influenced string instrumental intro follows, giving me the absolute creeps, and ending on a floor-shaking power chord, which immediately prompts me to shut off my CD player and run shaking to the car.
