Bathory...overrated?

joro seems to think that the pinnacle of metal lies within the so-called "power" genre, so there's really no reason to be. :)

Not necessarily, that song just was :yuk:. I'm not a fan of any specific genre, almost all will do.
 
Does anyone else love Bathory but get slightly annoyed by the sound effects sometimes? I thought some on Blood On Ice were pretty cheesy, especially One Eyed Old Man where that guy talks for like 5 years.

Thats the problem I have with that album and I don't listen to it much becauses of that. Otherwise I would.
 
I kinda like them too. It's not like it's over-the-top or anything. At least not if you're keeping track of the story line as you're listening. If it's just a casual listen of that one song, I normally just skip over it.



EDIT: My post number 1996; the same year this brilliant album, "Blood on Ice" was released! :kickass:
 
hey thought i'd make Bathory my first thread !!

As much as I loved Bathory, the later viking stuff really started to suck !! did anyone keep on listening after the firts few anyway ?????
