Inno A Satana


"Inno A Satana" is one of the standout tracks from Emperor's debut album *In The Nightside Eclipse*, released in 1994 through Candlelight Records. The album is widely regarded as a landmark of Norwegian black metal, and this track ranks among Emperor's best-known compositions. For electric guitarists, it offers a deep dive into the dense, layered riffing and atmospheric approach that defined the black metal genre, making it a rewarding and technically challenging piece to study.

  • Emperor recorded *In The Nightside Eclipse* with drummer Faust and bassist Tchort — a lineup that never appeared on another Emperor album.
  • The album is considered one of the most influential records in black metal history, and this track helped cement that reputation.
  • Norwegian black metal guitar style typically uses heavy distortion, tremolo picking, and minor-key riffs — all present in this song.
EMG 81
Pickup

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.
