Best Bathory album?

[Under The Oak]

I have a few of them already, and I might download the entire discography, so I hate to miss the best album(s). From what I've heard, "Blood Fire Death" and "Twilight Of The Gods" are great CDs. Any others?

 

[Krilons Resa]

Blood, Fire, Death > Hammerheart > the rest

 

[no country for old wainds]

Under the Sign of the Black Mark is a must-buy, and The Return isn't far behind. Blood, Fire, Death is arguably their best, though I tend to favour UTS...

 

[Demilich]

Though I'm a huge black metal fan, I like Bathory's viking stuff a lot more.
I'd say Hammerheart, Nordland I, Blood Fire Death, in that order. The others, I haven't given much of a chance to yet.

 

[Slayed Necros]

Under the Sign of the Black Mark for me.

 

[Unfaithfully Metalhead]

Bathory's self titled debut, Under the sign of the black mark and blooddeathfire....

 

[Psychonaut]

How about buy them?

Hammerheart>Blood On Ice>Twilight Of The Gods>Blood Fire Death>the rest

 

[Caelum Adustum]

Black: Under the Sign of the Black Mark
Viking: Hammerheart
Overall: Hammerheart

 

[Tranquillian]

Hammerheart > Twilight of the gods > Blood on ice > Blood fire death > Nordland 2 > Under the sign of the black mark > Nordland 1

Twilight of the Gods is Bathory's most realized album, and is what he set out to do with the viking theme.

Hammerheart and Blood Fire Death for me

 

[Chasm]

I'll probably get bashed for this but, I'm gonna have to say Nordland 1. I should also mention that I have heard everything else from Bathory and this is still probably my favorite for some reason.

 

[Necro Joe]

Hammerheart is my favourite.

It's all a matter of taste, so you are going to get tons of different answers. Best advice I could give you is to check them all out or the best ones from each era of Bathory to get a feel for the band.
