In 1995 the cult album Blood Must be Shed, by Zyklon-B was released featuring members of Emperor and Satyricon. Tveitan retreated to a property owned by his family to compose much of what would later become Anthems to the Welkin at Dusk, which was recorded after Haugen's parole. The band at this time received a lot of support and encouragement from black metal pioneer Euronymous, and after several demos, the Emperor EP was released in 1993 to much acclaim.ĭuring this time, bandmates Bård Eithun (also known as Faust) and Haugen were imprisoned Eithun for murder and Haugen for arson. Emperor had a much more refined black metal sound which showcased Tveitan's developing keyboard skills, a distinct feature that would appear in many of his later releases. Later in 1991 Haugen and Tveitan formed Emperor. Tveitan later used the name Thou Shalt Suffer to release an album of electronic music that he composed entitled Somnium. Shortly after, Haugen left the band to focus on other projects. The project was partially funded by a government grant and the group made several releases in 19. In 1991 they changed their name again to Thou Shalt Suffer. In November, the band released a self-financed four-track demo titled The Land of the Lost Souls. They eventually changed their name to Embryonic sometime that year. In 1990 Tveitan joined Haugen's band Xerasia, a death metal band in which he played guitar and keyboards. While at a music seminar, Tveitan gained Haugen's attention with his Iron Maiden patches. Early years: Xerasia, Embryonic, and Thou Shalt Suffer Īt the age of 13, Tveitan met Tomas Haugen (also known as Samoth), who would become his long time collaborator and the co-founder of Emperor.
