Cosmic Keys To My Creations And Times

"Cosmic Keys To My Creations And Times" is a track by Norwegian black metal band Emperor, featured on their 1994 debut album In The Nightside Eclipse, released through Candlelight Records. The album is widely regarded as a landmark of the black metal genre. For electric guitarists, the song offers a challenging study in the icy, layered riff structures and atmospheric textures that defined Emperor's influential sound.

  • In The Nightside Eclipse is Emperor's only album featuring drummer Faust and bassist Tchort, giving it a unique lineup in the band's history.
  • The album is considered one of the most influential records in black metal, making its guitar work a key reference point for the genre.
  • Emperor's guitar style on this album blends aggressive tremolo picking with orchestral, atmospheric layering — demanding precision and stamina from players.

EMG 81

Ihsahn's EMG 81 delivers the aggressive, high-output punch needed for Emperor's symphonic black metal tremolo picking to cut through dense synth layers. The pickup's tight, compressed response ensures consistent attack across rapid lead passages while maintaining the full-bodied warmth that prevents thin, brittle tones in heavy gain settings.
