I'd agree with ^.

how any fan of true Heavy Metal can dislike the self titled Bathory debut is a mystery beyond words. This is what it's all about.

had to be said

 

[Krilons Resa]

True Heavy Metal you say?

 

[J.]

leather, spikes, blood, fire, death, true, heavy, metal, beer

 

[Krigloch the Furious]

[Krilons Resa]

J. Im afraid you arent that familiar with true heavy metal.

 

[J.]

forget all your gay vocalled hippie "doom" man. has no balls

 

[Krilons Resa]

Dude, you might as well get a vasectomy.

 

[J.]

yeah thats what the wife says. she thinks ill be a bad dad. but at least my kid will know what HEAVY FUCKING BLOOD FIRE DEATH TRUE METAL is.

 

[Krilons Resa]

maybe blood fire death, but not true metal.

 

[J.]

that's what it's all about, my friend. this is metal, not hair rock. haha

 

[Krilons Resa]

It's as if you think metal was spawned out of nowhere in 97 or something.

 

[J.]

it wasnt?

 

[Krilons Resa]

lemme ask dorian

Really? I was listening to Live in Leipzig the other day, thinking that I should throw it on the trade list because I never listen to it, but I guess I should hold on to it a while longer. It's such a pristine digipak too.

@Nate - we had a thread on Celtic Frost here once...it was a tad amusing. Otherwise, To Mega Therion all the way! Or at least listen to "Tears in a Prophet's Dream" since it's SO good and you've probably already heard different versions of "Circle of the Tyrants" a million times now.

Tears In a Prophet's Dream is at best an attempt to do what they did with Danse Macabre.... which they didn't. Never forget as a kid, 1986, when I heard that track....

But on the topic of Bathory, get Blood Fire Death. The absolute best.

If there was ever a definition for "music WAY ahead of its time" it would probably be: "Tears in a Prophet's Dream".
