Man, this fucken album rules. (Bathory content)

[MadeInNewJersey]

Yeah, I know, goes without saying. But I just listened to it again (last night AND again this morning) for the first couple times in a few months. Just so fucken good!

Favorite songs, in order:
"One Rode To Asa Bay"
"Valhalla"
"Home of the Once Brave"
"Shores In Flames"
"Father To Son"
"Baptised In Fire and Ice"
"Song To Hall Up High"

 

[Tranquillian]

Best album evar.

 

[MadeInNewJersey]

Well, I won't go that far, lol, but yeah, it's pretty arse-kicking and splendifericious.

What do you think of my song rankings?

 

[Tranquillian]

I'd put Shores in flames after One rode to asa bay and then Song to hall up high.

 

[MadeInNewJersey]

Basically, songs 2-4 in my list are nearly interchangeable, but I really dislike Song To Hall...Quorthon's singing, lollertastic

 

[Ellestin]

I'm all for Bathory but I still need to own these albums...

Favorite songs, in order, kinda:
"One Rode To Asa Bay"
"Shores In Flames"
"Valhalla"
"Song To Hall Up High"/"Home of Once Brave" (I see these as one, kinda)
"Baptised In Fire and Ice"
"Father To Son"

"Song to Hall Up High", amazing. Chills down my spine every time he goes "when my time has come to die"

 

[MadeInNewJersey]

"Song To Hall Up High"/"Home of Once Brave" (I see these as one, kinda)

I can see that, which makes "Song To Hall..." much more tolerable (to me) as an intro to "Home of Once..."

 

[NAD]

FIYAH!!!

 

[Demilich]

hmm... song rankins:
1. one rode to asa bay
2. shores in flames
3. song to hall up high
4. father to son
5. valhalla
6. baptized in fire and ice
7. home of once brave

 

[IOfTheStorm]

Well i wouldnt consider it best album ever too (of course i freakin love "Hammerheart") but its DEFINETALLY the most EPIC metal album ever.

I would not disagree with that statement. I also must say that the new Falkenbach reminds me VERY much of the same feelings I get from Hammerheart. Yes, it's that good!

 

[Erik]

I think "Twilight of the Gods" is pretty much as good as "Hammerheart" btw

It's the 1 of the 3 famous ones that I'm least familar with. That said, I liked it the least of the 3.

 

[En Vind Av Sorg]

I was just testing out my new Classical guitar by playing "shores in Flames" in fact. One of my all time favorite albums, no doubt.

1. One Rode to Asa Bay
2. Valhalla
3. Baptised and Fire and Ice
4. Shores in Flames
5. Home to Once Brave
6. Song to Hall Up High
7. Father to Son

To Enter Your Mountain

Listen to that song and then listen to the last song on Moonsorrow's "Voimasta". Pure riff stealage (or homage).

 

[Erik]

One song on NeChrist, I forget which one right now, also totally rips off a part from Shores in Flames, but I think it's supposed to be a tribute.

And Sentenced's "Nepenthe", of course, rips off "Under the Runes"
