Black Metal.

I like Hammerheart the best out of his viking era stuff but I think I blast Under the Sign of the Black Mark the most these days. I also really fucking love the self-titled.

 

[CiG]

Shame about much of his 90's stuff.

Agreed. UTSTB is the best, followed by S/T.

 

[CiG]

I actually prefer The Return... and Blood Fire Death to the self titled.

 

[JontRevolting]

Any of you got this? It's got some good shit on it.

 

[CiG]

No, what is that?

In Memory Of Quorthon the vinyl box.

BFD is like a sandwich with amazing bread and mediocre filling. The opening two tracks and the closing track are truly phenomenal. The rest leaves little impression.

 

[Master_Yoda77]

I don't know, I really liked "For All Those Who Died". The Return is awesome as well. Really, Bathory's first 6 albums are all wonderful.

 

[CiG]

The book end tracks are the best on that album, but:



Enough said. Prepare to die!

Really, Bathory's first 7 albums are all wonderful.

Fixed.

 

[Slayed Necros]

Old Bathory is untouchable. Doesn't really need to be said!

 

[CiG]

Somebody should start an all-female tribute band to Bathory called "Bethory" and name their first album "Under The Sign Of The Black Matriarch" and have that beast man on the cover re-drawn with breasts. These are the things I would do if I were a female.

 

[Master_Yoda77]

I actually really wanted to start a Bathory cover band where we only covered songs from the first 3 albums.

 

[CiG]

So basically you want to start a 90's Scandinavian Black Metal band.

I always get to these exciting conversations late and by the time I get here everyone's moved onto something else. Anyway, I agree with Master Yoda here. 'Hammerheart' and 'Under the Sign of the Black Mark' are my favourites.

As for the vocals on 'Hammerheart', I love them in all their imperfection. I love the sound of that album, it's a miracle and could never be reproduced. Oh man I haven't heard it in ages - I really need to put this c.d on more often. I need a Bathory binge.

Some of my favourite albums of all time have productions that I find perfect but that the bands themselves will never reproduce due to better equipment/studios.

 

[The Ozzman]

Hot damn this is the motherfucking JAM. This band is local and dropped their album on Saturday night at a local show. This is some epic shit. It reminds me of shit like Caladan Brood and Summoning (different sound but the atmosphere definitely reminds me of it) but there's some faster paced stuff in there too.

Sounds great. Any physical release? I dont do downloads

Should be able to get it on Bandcamp. I can always obtain a copy and send it to you if they don't have that available.

edit: they don't via Bandcamp. Let me get another one for you and we can arrange payment. Do you have Paypal?

 

[Draehl]

Blood fire death, hammerheart & twilight of the gods are one of the best sequential release trios ever. Hammertheart is the best of the 3 but the combo of albums is tough to top...

 

[J.]

Yeah
