Here is the perfect opportunity for
those new to black metal to get a taste of its breadth and depth in one
purchase, and avoid the recent commercialized circus that has become "black
metal" to many in the process. Seminal Norwegian act Emperor have aptly
filled 2 discs in a "best of" concept with "Scattered Ashes..",and
listeners can conveniently experience both the infancy and zenith of this
global musical phenomenon in its 2-dozen odd tracks. From the songs which
fanned the flames that engulfed Scandinavian churches in the early 1990's to
their most recent ,and likely last, album "Prometheus..", and everything in
between, including live numbers, most of your favorites will be here. Even the
dangerously electronic remixes from their split with Thorns appear in a
juxtaposition to the legendary talents of drummers Trym and Bard, and
journeymen Ihsahn and Samoth. The fact that the discs are not arranged
chronologically is somewhat likeable, as you'll find demo material nestled in
between early raw songs and epic tracks from their mighty "Anthems…"
album. Bands that put out "best of" albums are many, but bands that put out
ones that matter, like the unforgettable Emperor, are
few.
