CoC : Emperor - In the Nightside Eclipse : Review

Emperor - _In the Nightside Eclipse_
(Century Black, 1995)
by: Brian Meloon (6 out of 10)

Pretty decent melodic black metal. Not as melodic as some, but still good. The production here is unfortunately lacking, as the guitars are not as clear as they could be. However, there is a substantial use of keyboards, enough to usually offset the lack of well-produced guitars. The songs are usually long, and avoid becoming monotonous, as they vary quite a bit, but unfortunately, only a couple of the tracks are actually memorable. Also, there are a few too many blast beats for my tastes, but this is still quite good, and an enjoyable listen.
