EMPEROR TO RETURN TO AMERICA
Notodden, Norway: After triumphantly headlining the annual Wacken Open Air Festival and four capacity performances in America last summer, Emperor today announce their return to the United States for three encore performances this spring.


"We have made a decision to return to the US for a few additional shows," notes guitarist Samoth. "This time Chicago is also put on the map. The shows last summer were very successful and we had an amazing turn out and support from all the fans. It was also a bit stressful because of the embassy hassle that we unfortunately had to endure. So we feel a few more shows are due and this time, all visas are in order and the band will appear in its full command. See you all soon!"


Confirmed dates are noted below. Ticket on-sale information will be noted shortly.


May 30 - The Metro, Chicago IL
June 1 - BB King Blues Club, New York NY
June 3 - Key Club, Los Angeles, CA

Yeah, like a good few dates.. Would be awesome but cant really see it happening, i think IF they come back to the UK im most likely going to have to travel down to London to catch them..

MAN, I FUCKING HOPE SO!!!!!
Theres some pretty big Emperor fans around here.. (here as in this forum, not Middlesbrough lol)

It would be wrong, but the style Ihsahn writes for Emperor is so much better than for his solo stuff....Prometheus>>>The Adversary
It would always be nice if Samoth and Trym developed a renewed interest in black metal though.

Nate, what happened to CTCC?
and i really hope they dont do another album.

I can't wait for the shitty reunion record.

lawl!

I will fucking cream if that happens. Just recently I have been listening to Emperor a lot, watching the video stream from Wacken and all that, feeling quite sad that I won't get to see them again, so if they come back to the UK and play somewhere decent - NOT FUCKING LONDON! - I will love it!
Fingers crossed......

And then get stabbed 14 times by Faust.

June 1 - BB King Blues Club, New York NY
*masturbates*
Hopefully Samoth will make it this time...

If only there was an actual tour, and yes, i mean a proper tour, not one London date or one there and another in Glasgow. I mean a real tour.
