Newly reunited black-metal legends Emperor have announced two US shows:
07/14 - BB Kings Blues Club, New York, NY
07/16 - Key Club, Los Angeles, CA
I guess this is good news to people who never got to see them the first time around, but I must warn you not to get too excited: despite the band's greatness on record, they never were all that hot live. When I saw them and openers Witchery blew them away. And the less said about Ihsahn's other band Peccatum in a live setting (they were the other openers), the better.
