Bathory is "one of the pioneers of the first wave of black metal music (as well as viking metal)." Tomas Forsberg AKA "Quarthon" was guitars, vocals, music and lyrics (1983–2004) and all instruments (1991–2004). Sadly, Quorthon died of a heart attack on June 3, 2004 in his appartment in Hässelby, Stockholm.
A few days ago I said I would post some "Viking Metal" and this is a pioneer of the genre (or theme to be precise). Very chilling and epic, fairly clean vocals that aren't tacky (like a lot of Power Metal etc.), check it out!
Bathory, fuck yeah! They are a cult band. If I remember well, they took their name from a Venom's song, "Countess Bathory" (who was a woman that liked to kill virgins and bath in their blood)

Bathory is so bad ass-
Sounds like Bathory is a little too hardcore for my tastes.
Thanks for the post though. It's good to try out new types of music.
oh yeah, Bathory is awesome!
wow awesome thanks!
pretty good listen, thanks for the music.
This stuff is really awesome! Though a bit too hardcore for me
They certainly have talent. Very under recognized.
those are some low tuned guitars
Bathory are one of my favorite metal bands. My favorite albums have to be Hammerheart and Blood Fire Death!
Quorthon is in Valhalla right now :D
Love these guys.
I feel like I'm in Lord of the Rings listening to this, so badass.
Little too hardcore for me but interesting nonetheless. Good find.
Not bad. Interesting to say the least. Thank you for sharing!

Love this stuff. Thanks! Doubt I would've been able to find that and I'm glad I checked here to see what you've found. <3
Bathory is epic
