From In the Nightside Eclipse (1994). Their debut album, recorded in July 1993 at Grieg Hall in Bergen and produced by Emperor and Pytten, released through Candlelight on 21 February 1994. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so an ESP E-II Eclipse through a Marshall JCM800 2203, the nearest rig to the one Emperor is documented with, stands in. Set the amp to a high-gain setting and use the bridge pickup. Standard tuning.
