Blood Music is not fucking around with vinyl. Recently they revealed their Moonsorrow box set of 14-LPs and a whole slew of other goodies, which they confirmed was the biggest metal music vinyl box set to have ever existed. So how did they follow up that release? By announcing a few single vinyl pressings… and then the Emperor box set, which will literally be everything the band ever did in a vinyl box set. Of course it's going to be bigger than Moonsorrow! At this rate the company are going to have t step it up and beat that the second they release the Emperor set.
There was a lot of controversy surrounding the set too, with people saying they fooled consumers into buying the Moonsorrow box set saying it was the biggest and then immediately announcing the Emperor box set. To which I say- if you're buying a box set because it's big and shiny and then you get mad that there's something bigger and shinier coming along, you might want to consider growing up.
The set will be out early-to-mid 2015, according to the company's Facebook.
"We've been working behind-the-scenes for more than a year – carefully compiling every detail of Emperor's oeuvre from the minute they began in 1991 until their final breath in 2007. We are working directly in conjunction with the members themselves to compile the most incredible, beautiful, and archival collection one could ever imagine into a massive COMPLETE WORKS box set, due to be released in approximately one year.
This will be the first time the band's music will be properly remastered for vinyl, as well as presented in true vinyl special editions of any kind. An insane honor for us to take part in.
Start saving your money this minute. The box set will be a one-time only, limited edition pressing. There will be no copies of our records outside the box set this time. This will be a unique offering that will make a massive mark upon the history of metal and quickly vanish into thin air.
Oh, and it will be the largest metal vinyl box set of all-time (beating out our Moonsorrow set) and one of the largest vinyl box sets ever created in the history of music. So really … if you want in on this. Start saving now.
Early-to-mid 2015."
