Wrath of the Tyrant was the demo released in 1992 by the seminal black metal band Emperor. Because of the poor production, many have found this release offputting and/or frightening, although it is not unlike the low production quality demos of many other Black Metal groups of the time. This was the only time Emperor ever utilised downtuned-guitars: the album was recorded in D, which was determined by Ygg's and Samot's experience with death metal. "My Empire's Doom" eventually metamorphosed into "Beyond the Great Vast Forest" on the band's debut album, In the Nightside Eclipse.
