	Bathory – Music at Last.fm
		Bathory was the project of the now deceased Tomas "Ace" Börje Forsberg (Quorthon), who lived from 22 February 1966 - 7 June 2004 and died of heart failure.
		Bathory was a landmark band in the history of fl metal.
		Around the late 80s, Bathory changed its style from fl metal to what was later known as viking metal, mixing epic music with nordic themes and viking influences, while retaining its fl metal roots.

	Bathory (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Bathory have been credited with giving life to two genres within the metal spectra.
		Starting off as a raw fl metal platoon in 1983 and unleashing venomous attacks like "Bathory" (1984) and "The Return" (1985) and eventually exploring the realms of, what was to be named, viking metal with milestones such as "Hammerheart" (1990) and "Twilight of the Gods" (1991).
		The sound stinks (although improved from "Bathory") and the musicianship is far from top-notch, but the passion poured into it is invincible.

	Bathory - Biography - AOL Music
		And, like Venom's early work, Bathory too were challenged by the downright primitive recording conditions of Heavenshore Studios (actually a converted car garage and storage space) -- limitations which inadvertently set the rough, uncompromising template that was later carefully scrutinized and accepted as gospel by generations of fl metal-metal musicians.
		Not even this promising start was enough to sustain Bathory's momentum within such limited stylistic boundaries, however, and, after exhausting the possibilities of rudimentary fl metal with his first two efforts, Quorthon realized that a creative face-lift was necessary.
		With his death, so dies Bathory, although there is no doubt that his career-long record label Black Mark (owned and operated by Quorthon's father) will eventually unveil any unreleased Bathory material which may still lie in their vaults.

	Bathory - Black Metal
		Rising from the midst of this bulk are tendrils of delicate melody leaning toward statements in the classical style which summarize the developments in phrasing so far and resolve to a fusion, fission or restatement of major theme.
		Where this differs from previous Bathory is in the evolution of tempo beyond the direct influence of Venom and Slayer, the primary progenitors of this style; here something closer to, ahem, Motorhead can be heard with recursing and counterpoint rhythms underlying simple, almost ambient riffs that emphasize resonance over harmonic motion.
		Instrumentalism is precise and while sometimes rock-influenced, blends threads of ideal with a concentration of effort on melody and blasting raw riffs that exceed the study of motion and impact found on the second work from this band.

		BATHORY will be releasing their latest opus, entitled Destroyer Of Worlds, on October 8th in Europe and October 23rd in the US.
		If I was a BATHORY fan, I would rather wait a few years on a new BATHORY album that turns out to be a great album, than to have a less good album at once.
		One important reason is that BATHORY has covered so many sounds and styles over the years, we first of all had to take certain precautions not to duplicate anything we have done before.

	Bathory : Requiem - Listen, Review and Buy at ARTISTdirect
		Instead, the album (Bathory's seventh) merely signaled a back-to-basics resurrection of the legendary fl metal group's primitive, early-days simplicity, rather than offering yet another chapter in their Wagnerian, long-evolving Viking metal phase of the surrounding years.
		In the case of Requiem, any trace of the lengthy epics, ostentatious arrangements, chorused vocals, and ambient keyboards that had dominated other albums was obliterated by the single-minded velocity and death metal mania with which tracks like "Crostitution," "Distinguish to Kill," and "War Machine" pierce the listener's skull.
		Ironically, even though Requiem did benefit from the improved audio quality present on the band's later triumphs, on this occasion the final results were surprisingly inferior to the rough-hewn gems of their past.

		The world of metal would definitely be a different place had it not been for Bathory.
		But Bathory in itself was hardly a band, but instead an outlet for the late mastermind Quorthon to expunge his seemingly limitless supply of music.
		Personally, I've always found it relatively hard to pin down Bathory's music to one specific genre, especially because they/he was never afraid to experiment.

		Still it was soon proved who were the most brutal of the lot and Bathory quickly evolved into something really brutal and ugly in the eyes of the normal man.
		Bathory doesn't suond as much as Venom any longer, OK there are a few elements left, but this is so much faster and brutal, it's amazing.
		except that this is two different Bathory "Greatest Hits" with lots of great songs from all of Bathory's periods plus one song from their first demo (1983) on both of them and in total tree unreleased tracks recorded between Blood Fire Death and Hammerheart (Not any of the songs on the Blood on Ice album).

		Bathory also uses choirs somewhat on this album which add a nice unholy worship vibe to the album.
		This album has to be among the most epic recordings ever in the history of metal, encompassing all the grandeur and power of the Viking forefathers and the gods of the Asatru Bathory frontman Quorthon had idolized during this period.
		It was now in 1989, 6 years after Bathory's first release, that a (roughly) 24 year old Quorthon began his lifetime achievement.

		Composer Richard Wagner's influence on Bathory is evident in the lengthy compositions complete with thematic notes and orchestrated vocals, which are found all over the record.
		Twilight Of The Gods is--for those who can appreciate Bathory's matured sound--a momentous record full of subtle but dynamic riffs and impressive vocals joined with epic song structures that are nearly Wagnerian in their magnitude.

	BATHORY
		For the avid student of BATHORY lyrics, the man praising the land of home, is the very man whom as a child was mentioned in "Baptised in Fire and Ice" on the HAMMERHEART album back in 1990.
		BATHORY has become such a vital source of inspiration for thousands of acts and one of few pillars on which the whole extreme metal scene rests, it’s much more important for a BATHORY album to sound like BATHORY rather than trying to invent something entirely new, or worse, copying somebody else.
		Since Elizabeth Bathory sounded too female - by all right - it could also be thought of as being the name of a female singer in the band, which we didn’t have anyway.
