Bathory....

[Damageinc840]

I got a quick question, sorry it doent have really anything to do with AA, but I just heard a few Bathory songs for the first time (bizarre, right?) and I liked it, Ive seen some people with Bathory on the np and some Bathory cd covers in their signatures, so I'm wondering whats a good place to start with that band?

Also- Go get the new Vital Remains cd, Dechristianize. Holy shit its fucking brutal.

 

[Aggressor]

I would say start off with "Hammerheart" that's his best...

 

[megamich]

"Blood Fire Death" is bathory's best album.
I'm not quite sure but i think its their last black metal album.

 

[Damageinc840]

I've heard the song Blood Death Fire, definately liked it. Are their newer albums any good? ie Destroyer of Worlds and such?

 

[TB666]

Nordland series are good.

 

[megamich]

I didn't like "Destroyer of worlds"...

Try "Blood On Ice"...
a great viking album

 

[Surtr]

Why do you all say "their"????
Bathory is only a one-man-army: Quorthon aka Quoddel

There are a lot good albums by him, but I don't like Blood On Ice...

 

[víkingr]

i thought bathory was only for the first 3 albums a one man army :/

 

[AmonAmarthGR]

Bathory is my favourite band...all the albums are masterpieces but Hammerheart,Twilight of the Gods,Blood on ice are the best.

 

[víkingr]

the song one rode to asa bay and the clip to it are just plain genius

 

[Tranquillian]

i thought bathory was only for the first 3 albums a one man army :/

All albums AFTER Hammerheart are Quorthon only.
Go to www.bathory.se and read the history, great reading.

 

[víkingr]

I'll read it later, but I thought he had said once that he used an unknown drummer and an unknown bass player to record the other albums, but nevermind :/

 

[Snowblind]

"Bathory" was the first album I got from this band.
Oh, and Dechristianize was pretty good, too...I wasn't really blown away though.

blood fire death, definatly blood fire death. wow I feel like the rainman

 

[Overlord Purple Rainbow]

blood fire death, definatly blood fire death. wow I feel like the rainman

HA HAAAAAAAAA!!!


My picks would probably be the great Viking Trilogy, BLOOD FIRE DEATH, HAMMERHEART, and TWILIGHT OF THE GODS.

 

[DeathBlade]

Im surprised none mentioned Under the Sign of the Black Mark. I know it isnt viking metal, but its still good music IMHO.
