The Top Ten

1 I Am the Black Wizards

My favourite black metal song, from my favourite black metal album, by my favourite black metal band. WHY IS THIS NOT #1?

Best Emperor song.

No exception, this is the ultimate Emperor track and kills in every way possible

The ultimate black metal song. Definitely one of their best songs they have ever done!

2 Inno a Satana

So Evil and Beautiful

Inno A Satana! Inno A Satana! Amazing ending song of a magical album. I like In the Nightside Eclipse a lot more than Anthems to the Welkin at Dusk. - metalfan1999

Awesome song. Just getting into Emperor and black metal in general and this one stood out among the youtube playlist.

I just adore this song. Peace out.
