When ESP decided to give the LTD Viper-1000 EMG this particular set of EMG active humbuckers, they had nothing but pure metal on their minds. The EMG 81 at the LTD Viper-1000 EMG's bridge is largely responsible for the majority of metal riffs you can think of, providing the blazing hot and knife-edged tone you need to cut through the mix, plus the driving low end you need for maximum impact.
