Into The Infinity Of Thoughts


"Into The Infinity Of Thoughts" is the opening track on 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 sets its tone with layered guitar textures, tremolo picking, and dense atmospheric arrangements. For electric guitarists, it offers a deep study in black metal guitar technique, including cold, distorted riff-building and the orchestral approach that made Emperor distinctive within the genre.

  • The track opens a debut album considered one of the most influential records in black metal history.
  • Emperor's guitar work on this album blends raw black metal aggression with unusually rich, layered symphonic textures.
  • In The Nightside Eclipse featured a one-time lineup, with drummer Faust and bassist Tchort never recording another full album with the band.
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.
