Emperor “The Complete Works” will be a 24-LP, one 7”, and one book box set.
This will be the largest extreme metal box set of all-time, nearly twice as large as the one preceding it.
It will also be (as far as I'm aware), the 2nd largest vinyl box set in the history of modern music.
Many people have asked how Emperor official (with only four albums) has enough material to fill this many discs. The answer is that the material has been cut in full at 45-RPM, which provides higher fidelity in playback. This is a format often reserved for audiophile cuts of classic jazz, blues, and orchestral performances.
Months were spent combing through Emperor's back catalog of official and unofficial releases - all the while coordinating with the band - before settling on a final track listing. Ultimately, the box set contains every official Emperor release in its “most official” form, as well as a good handful of unofficial ones which are being made official for the first time ever.
As a testament to one of the greatest bands of all time, no expense was spared in the creation of this set, and it even had to be mastered for vinyl in full twice. As mentioned earlier this year, the original mastering was rejected as not being faithful to the original Emperor sound, and everything had to be remastered again from scratch. I have purchased Emperor discs pressed at different times for comparison and am confident that this is the highest level of quality this material will ever achieve, matching or beating out all their previous pressings.
This will be a very bold experiment in immortalizing the greatest and one of the most influential bands in all of extreme music. Arguably, Emperor has converted more fans (myself included) into becoming worshipers of black metal than any other band in history.
The box set is a presentation in 15 parts, which will start being introduced now ...
