Emperor is a Norwegian black metal band formed in 1991, regarded as highly influential by critics and emerging black metal bands.[2][3][4] The group split up in 2001, but reunited from 2005 to 2007 for a few festival dates and brief US tours, and again reunited in 2013 to 2014. Emperor reformed for the third time in 2016. The group was founded by Ihsahn (guitar/vocal) and Samoth (then, drums).
