Where this album fits
- Career context
- Released in 2003, 'Scattered Ashes: A Decade of Emperial Wrath' marks Emperor’s retrospective compilation after their disbandment in 2001. At this point, the band had solidified their reputation as pioneers in the black metal genre, having released critically acclaimed albums such as 'In the Nightside Eclipse' (1994) and 'Anthems to the Welkin at Dusk' (1997). This compilation serves as a reflection on their influential decade-long career.
