Emperor's final album is one the greatest Symphonic Black Metal albums to be released. It can take maybe a handful of playthroughs to completely absorb and appreciate the level of detail in it. But it's a very rewarding experience if you do put in the time. All hail the Emperor!

The most ecclectic Emperor album written solely by Ihsahn. And extravagant journey through some of black metal's most complex and amazing compositions. A must have

I've enjoyed all of Emperors albums (Anthems to the Welkin at Dusk probably being my favourite, never saw the big deal about In the Nightside Eclipse), this and IX Equilibrium have been somewhat neglected though. Full of impressive technical riffery and bluesy leads with strongly pronounced symphonic elements I would consider this an impressive work of black metal even if sometimes the rhythm section devolves into mush.

Look to this album to learn how to use pinch harmonics in your writing. This album slaps so hard. Potential 4.5

riffs sure but no atmosphere, and annoying 90's synthed instruments bleh. Production stinks, too.

A lackluster and disappointing final studio album, Prometheus does nothing to truly capture and provide what made Emperor's previous releases so invigorating. Drab and stale results come from the production attempts to make it seem dark and heavy, simultaneously. Even worse is that the keyboards are so off, especially when playing with the rest of the band. Rather than helping to compliment what could've been another effective black metal album, Emperor come off sounding more like (present day) Dimmu Borgir meets Behemoth. But with little beyond a few good riffs and solos scattered throughout, even that might be too generous of a statement for this plummet of quality in the band's catalogue.
