			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>EMPEROR </strong>- &#8220;<em>IX Equilibrium</em>&#8220;, 1999, LP, Candlelight Records</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1254" title="front" src="http://blog.luna-amara.ro/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/front1.jpg" alt="front" width="580" height="435" /></p>
<p>ultimul album notabil <strong>EMPEROR </strong>(pentru mine, evident). directia in care a luat-o ulterior trupa (desi unele influente sunt deja prezente si pe acest album) pe albumul &#8220;<em>Prometheus: The Discipline Of Fire And Demise</em>&#8221; a rezultat intr-un <em>dead end</em>, iar pasajele muzicale mult prea progresive combinate cu o productie a albumului care nu punea in valoare piesele au &#8220;ingropat&#8221; efectiv viitorul <strong>EMPEROR</strong>.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1255" title="inlay" src="http://blog.luna-amara.ro/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/inlay.jpg" alt="inlay" width="580" height="435" /></p>
<p>revenind la albumul de fata, avem de-a face cu un <strong>EMPEROR</strong> <em>re-vamped</em> si oarecum de tranzitie, fata de precedentul &#8220;<em>Anthems To The Welkin At Dusk</em>&#8221; (un album absolut fantastic, de altfel).  &#8220;<em>IX Equilibrium</em>&#8221; e un album mult mai tehnic decat anterioarele realizari, parca axat mai mult pe viteza executiei. singurele obiectii pe care le am apropo de &#8220;<em>IX</em>&#8230;&#8221; sunt legate de durata albumului si de productia oarecum &#8220;<em>subtire</em>&#8220;. in rest, it rocks. <em>Trym Torson</em> e unul din cei mai buni tobari pe stilul asta din cati mi-au fost dat sa aud si asta se poate auzi pe acest album. piese remarcabile ar fi opener-ul <em>Curse You All Men</em>, <em>The Source Of Icon E</em> (cu niste parti vocale fantastice, pe stilul falsetto <strong>KING DIAMOND</strong>, courtesy of Mr <em>Ihsahn</em>), <em>The Warriors Of Modern Death</em> sau <em>Decrystallizing Reason</em>.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1256" title="sleeve1" src="http://blog.luna-amara.ro/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/sleeve1.jpg" alt="sleeve1" width="580" height="435" /></p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1257" title="sleeve2" src="http://blog.luna-amara.ro/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/sleeve2.jpg" alt="sleeve2" width="580" height="435" /></p>
<p>artworkul albumului este grozav, if you ask me. cover artworkul este o combinatie intre gravura lui <em>Gustave Dore</em> si imaginea unei sculpturi realizata de tatal lui <em>Samoth</em>. in rest sunt prezente reprezentari/&#8221;manipulari&#8221; dupa &#8220;<em>Infernul</em>&#8221; lui Dante, ilustrat tot de <em>Gustave Dore</em> (in special inlay-ul e incredibil). din pacate, pozele postate de mine aici nu pot reda realitatea; cei din trupa chiar si-au dat tot interesul ca albumul asta sa arate asa de frumos (laminated logo+album title, laminated photos of the band on the back, etc, etc, etc&#8230;). se pare ca sunt un artwork freak <img src='http://blog.luna-amara.ro/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' /> .</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1258" title="side a" src="http://blog.luna-amara.ro/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/side-a1.jpg" alt="side a" width="580" height="435" /></p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1259" title="side b" src="http://blog.luna-amara.ro/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/side-b1.jpg" alt="side b" width="580" height="435" /></p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1261" title="back" src="http://blog.luna-amara.ro/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/back1.jpg" alt="back" width="580" height="435" /></p>
<p>all in all, &#8220;<em>IX Equilibrium</em>&#8221; e un album frumos, care merita ascultat. poate ca necesita mai multe auditii, insa odata ce te-ai obisnuit cu el, il vei reasculta din cand in cand cu placere.</p>
