Both current members of Emperador are a married couple. They run a metal-themed church called Iglesia Subterránea Caverna, sometimes abbreviated "Caverna" or "Iglesia Caverna".

Went on hold after the release of "Fúnebre adoración" in 2019.

NOTE, JUNE 2019: "Emperador" (Christian) and "Malignum" (secular) ARE NOT the same band. This is false information added by a troll / spammer on Metal Archives. Former members Franklin and Daniel started the latter band after they left Emperador.

Pastora Rosa Negra - Vocals (female/operatic), Drums

Past members:
David Sanjines - Guitars
Franklin - Bass

Ocultismo, satanismo
Gloria de su fe
Ocultismo, satanismo
Lujuria de poder

Misa negra en el altar
El velo rasgado ya esta
El traidor en la mesa se sentara
Satanismo ocultismo hoy harán

Legiones al servicio de satan
Lujuria en el culto a baal
Sacrificio y sangre harán
Para su reino destrozar

Gloria en el ocultismo
Gloria a Jesucristo
Gloria en el ocultismo
Gloria a Jesucristo
Gloria en el ocultismo
Gloria a Jesucristo

Velas negras para ofrendar
Y tu alma poder marcar
Ocultismo en el circulo bestial
Satanismo para condenar

Gloria en el ocultismo
Gloria a Jesucristo
Gloria en el ocultismo

Gloria a Jesucristo
Gloria en el ocultismo
Gloria a Jesucristo
Gloria en el ocultismo
Gloria a Jesucristo

Blasfemia tu fé
Blasfemia tus creencias
Blasfemia tu dioses
Blasfemia...

Blasfemia tu fé
Blasfemia tus creencias
Blasfemia tu dioses
Blasfemia...

Coleccion (NOT SURE IF LEGIT)
Format unknown

LEFT:
Mentioned [here], though the link for the release itself no longer works, so all I have is the cover art and name. Given the name is "Coleccion" ("Collection") I'm assuming it's a compilation. It uses the same photograph as the 2009 compilation artwork, but here, it's black and white, and the logo is in a different place... I've also never seen this specific artwork used for the 2009 comp. Can anyone clear this up?

RIGHT:
Similar artwork is used [here] for the 2009 compilation, but again, I've never actually seen this artwork used on a CD copy of the 2009 comp, so... I don't know. Also, why are there two cover variants for this?

Stream (OFFICIAL)

1) Fúnebre adoración 5:29
