Quorthon died today

[Tranquillian]

I am still waiting for official confirmation. See my thread in the GMD for more info.

Edit: And I just got a confirmation of sorts, people I trust tell me it's true.

 

[NAD]

Damn, just when I was discovering Bathory and falling in love with the man, in the gay way.

 

[Black Winter Day]

fuck i hope this ain't true

 

[J.]

well this licks shit

 

[Black Winter Day]

and i just realized that i am wearing my bathory shirt. damn damn damn damn... rest easy, warrior.

 

[J.]

well, I'm waiting for an official statement. I still remember everyone went apeshit when a rumor was going around about a member of Nokturnal Mortum dying in a drive-by.

 

[JayKeeley]

Shocking that we don't have a single Bathory review at RC. Not that I haven't asked a million times already....

...and now the man is dead. We better do a full-on feature to honour his memory.

 

[SonOfNun]

Blood Fire Death, Hammerheart, Twilight of the Gods and Under the Sign of the Black Mark are all on my "buy" list. I guess it's about time I buy a couple of them.

 

[Black Winter Day]

indeed. hell, the man is responsible for half the music we here at RC listen to...

 

[JayKeeley]

Let's wait to see if this is real....

 

[NAD]

Hey how are those Nordland albums? They seem like something I would like, but should I buy more old Bathory first? I only have Blood Fire Death and Hammerheart.

 

[JayKeeley]

I only have BFD, Hammerheart, TotG, and Nordland I & II. Hammerheart is the best one. Nordland are ok (II > I).

 

[Black Winter Day]

am i the only one who thinks "A Fine Day to Die" is one of the best. songs. ever?

 

[JayKeeley]

By the way, without having to resort to going anywhere near the GMD, how did he die?

 

[J.]

heart problems....???

 

[Tranquillian]

His heart failed.

 

[Tranquillian]

I wish I was at home with my bathory albums available at this moment.

 

[J.]

same here.

 

[JayKeeley]

Alright, to honour the man, we should get a feature done ASAP (for releases both good and bad). Yay or nay?

Bathory
The Return
Under the Sign of the Black Mark
Blood Fire Death
Hammerheart
Twilight of the Gods
Requiem
Octagon
Blood on Ice
Destroyer of Worlds
Nordland I
Nordland II

RC staff - take your pick.

I'll also open this up to the public: forum regulars, if you want to contribute any reviews for these albums, I'll publish them at RC. No harm in having more than one review per album either...

 

[J.]

I need to get those first three.
