Was I listening to the right Bathory?

[Ryan VH]

I got an album from them last night, "Twilight of the Gods", and it seemed pretty mellow which was why I was questioning them being called Black Metal. Now I'm listening to "Under the Sign of the Black Mark" and holy shit does it sound different.

 

[EricT]

...

You have got to be fucking kidding me.

LEAVE THE HALL!

 

[Ryan VH]

What?! I ain't saying it's a bad thing. But I'm just making sure that "Twilight Of The Gods" was the right one.

 

[EricT]

God dammit!

Twilight of the Idols is a fucking masterpiece in atmospheric black metal. One of Quorthon's greatest works.

UTSOTBM is also great... probably a bit more your style.

[Ryan VH]

Dude, don't get me wrong. I really like TOTG. It's the first album I listened to by them, and to then hear another album that was completely different was very surprising.

 

[Captain Beard]

That, Hammerheart, the Nordlands, and ESPECIALLY Blood on Ice. <3

 

[Will Bozarth]

just because it isn't all RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH FAASTTT OOGGA OGGA BOOGA doesn't mean it isn't black metal

 

[Ryan VH]

Blood on Ice is awesome. I love the acoustic intro.

 

[Will Bozarth]

fucking <3 Nordlands

 

[Ryan VH]

just because it isn't all RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH FAASTTT OOGGA OGGA BOOGA doesn't mean it isn't black metal

i know

 

[Will Bozarth]

get Nordland and Nordland II.

 

[Captain Beard]

Neanderthal Metal, Will describes. I'd like to hear some. And get Hammerheart as well if ye haveth naught.

 

[EricT]

One thing you should understand about Bathory, no album sounds the same. Quorthon was very experimental. That said, the only album I advise to stay away from is Octagon.

 

[Captain Beard]

Yeah, I'd agree there.

Will do, hopefully tomorrow.

 

[Captain Beard]

You'll stay away from it tomorrow? That means you're listening tonight? Fag.

 

[EricT]

I am so fucking sick with genre classification. I'm sick and tired of people going "No, thats not black metal, its viking metal with black influences" and such.

 

[mReEtTaIlRsEkD]

then don't fucking define or classify anything. i'll call you on it.

 

[Captain Beard]

So hows college pengu? Drink much?
