	Bathory (band) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Bathory was a Swedish heavy metal band, and is regarded as one of the forefathers of the fl metal and viking metal genres.
		Bathory was formed in Stockholm in 1983, for fun, by the then 18-year-old Quorthon.
		Bathory have been cited as an influence by musicians as diverse as Metallica, Marilyn Manson, Cradle of Filth, Black Crucifixion, Beherit, and Billy Corgan of The Smashing Pumpkins.

	Bathory
		In 1988, Bathory was expanded with bassist Vvorthn and drummer Kothaar, after which the musicians released Blood, Fire, Death, which was composed of aggressive death metal with a general war theme.
		Bathory was already a myth, which was in particular caused by the concealment of Quorthon’s identity, but it was said to be possible that he was the son of Börje ‘’Boss’’ Forsberg and that his true name was therefore Tomas Forsberg.
		In 1988/89, Bathory began the recordings of Blood On Ice, which consisted of an epic saga with musical roots in Viking-styled metal, but this album indicated a change of style that was too big in comparison to the previous album, for what reason Quorthon put the bloody work on ice.

		A key component surrounding Bathory was an aura of mystery, this being one of the reasons the band only performed a handful of shows, all of which were in the early days of the bands existence.
		It is based on Elizabeth Bathory, the lady who bathed in the blood of her servants in hopes of retaining her beauty and youth.
		Tordah: Bathory is legendary band in the metal-world and have been a huge inspirational source for tons of metal bands.

		Bathory is one of the first bands to form the fl metal genre and one of the most influential bands ever.
		Bathory changed their line-up lots of times and for some time the now so famous video director Jonas Åkerlund (Madonna, Metallica, Prodigy) was handling the drums.
		In 1987 the band rehearsed with drummer Christian Dudeck from the German thrash metal band Sodom for an upcoming tour but the whole thing was cancelled for unknown reasons.

		The sound is as macabre and raw as on previous albums (Bathory, The Return and Under the Sign of The Black Mark), but now feels a bit more melancholic, a fact which left metalheads pondering on whether the band would change styles or not.
		The melodic introduction aside, Bathory mostly retains - throughout the majority of the album - it's primitive, aggressive and raw trademark sound (that of its three first albums, that is).
		Bathory was the very first Black band to appear and "Under the Sign of the Black Mark" is one of their best.

	Bathory Reviews at Lunar Hypnosis
		Bathory are known as one of the earliest fl metal bands, and in my opinion Bathory where the first Black Metal band.
		Nordland I is the first Bathory album to be produced to the standards of the music, I was amazed at how clear and rich the album sounded, and if I may be so bold, the first album where Boss actually deserves a producer cred.
		Bathory is considered one of the pioneer bands in the Black metal movement as they introduced much influence to many bands that are big these days in the fl metal genre (Graveland, Satyricon, Dimmu Borgir, Emperor, Darkthrone) and some other none-fl metal bands as well.

		Expecially on the firs talbum, Bathory seemed to be heavily influenced by the aforementioned Venom, and it's surprising then that Quorthon claimed to never have heard them before.
		It is almost impossible to describe the music of Bathory, partly because they evolved quite a lot from their first album to the end of the eighties and partly because their unlikely sound was so unlike anything else.
		There were quite a lot of rumours surrounding Bathory, some of them at least partially true, probably stemming from the fact that they preferred to stay away from public appearances.

		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.

		Needless to say, Bathory fans are wondering what the new material will sound like—whether it’ll be a mix of styles covered throughout the career of Bathory or an extension of the last Bathory studio album, Octagon.
		Particularly during the mid-’80s, the Bathory fans in America—who were twice as many as our European fans—I would have girls send me their pictures naked, covered in nothing but pig’s blood.
		"Bathory is [Black Mark’s] business," begins Quorthon on the eagerness of Black Mark to release the new album, who prompt him on a regular basis to have the album out by the end of the summer.

		So, he came up here, we rehearsed for a month but then he had to go back to Germany, cause they had to re-record some of the stuff to one of their albums at that time, I don't know if that was true or not, but anyway...
		The BATHORY and SODOM stories were lined together in the same magazines all the time, so of course you read a lot about eachother and it seemed that our careers were going hand in hand more or less.
		Then I started to touch a little bit about writing stuff for this band, we were talking in which direction we wanted to go and then I started writing three or four songs, I believe 'Sacrifice' was one of them and the whole thing went on, but only for about one year.

		Bathory is the project of one Quorthon a.k.a.
		Bathory quickly established itself as an occult, raw, fast and evil fl metal entity worshipped by the metal masses.
		Slagged to death by the critics, Bathory nonetheless forged on to ever bigger successes even though it was later revealed that the band used mega amounts of studio trickery and synthesizers to achieve the dark sound.

		With two original BATHORY tracks on a compilation album, there was still plenty of material that remained to be recorded in one form or another.
		There was this other band we knew somewhat that got a record contract around that time, and went on to record an album later.
		But all the other musicians and bands we knew or would meet up at parties or in clubs, were still mumbling about finding the right style some day, maybe getting a deal next week or boasting about getting to play the Budokan Hall any day now.

		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).

		One of countless speed metal bands to emerge from the thrash-friendly state of New Jersey during the 1980s, Bayonne's Blood Feast were formed as Blood Lust in 1985, and actually submitted a few songs from their "Suicidal Mission" demo to New Renaissance Records' Thrash Metal Attack and Speed Metal Hell, Vol.
		Long before the endless stream of grindcore bands emerged in the '90s, N.Y.C.'s Nausea was delivering a relentless, ear-splitting, and politically charged fury that none of them ever equaled.
		Slayer was one of the most distinctive, influential, and extreme thrash metal bands of the 1980s.

	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.
		Where majesty and vast motion of sound occurred on Bathory and Celtic Frost albums earlier, this work approaches directly in a simple honesty and overdemonstrated emotion similar to that of folk and Viking rock from past ages.

		When Bathory released the first installment of their latest sonic adventure in Norse mythology, 2002's Nordland I, there was a distinct sense of "been there, done that" to the proceedings.
		After all, Bathory pretty much invented the Viking metal sub-genre with watershed releases such as Blood Fire Death and Hammerheart years ago, and there was no denying that the band's basic template was sounding somewhat tired and recycled.
		A two-album saga based upon Norse mythology, the first chapter of Bathory's Nordland frankly comes off as somewhat less accomplished and, well, immense in scope compared to similar epic works conjured in recent years by new groups such as Edge of Sanity and Green Carnation.

		Apart from that, the songs are even more evil and darkly malignant, Quorthon keeps on screaming like he was possessed, and the drums mark the pace of hell.
		Well, certainly one can hear some mistakes specially on drums (which I think are made using a drum-machine, at least partially), but as I said in the "Bathory" review, when the spirit and landscapes of the album are so intense, that´s a secondary matter.
		If Venom and Hellhammer are the roots of the style, Bathory can be considered the stem and the thorns of the fl rose that fl metal is. This is in my opinion the first truly fl metal album in history, featuring the characteristic elements that traditionally define fl metal: evil lyrics, rotten voice, pounding rhythms...

		Swedish band Bathory took their name from Countess Elizabeth Bathory, a Hungarian noblewoman who existed in the late 16th century.
		She was not a "classical" vampire; rather, she fell into the modern category of serial killer/mass murderer, in that she killed young girls, mainly peasants, and then bathed herself with their blood, hoping to retain her youth.
		Bathory, I recognise it (Elizabeth Bathory, wasnÂ´t she a legendary vampire or something like that?) but I have no idea if they still exist.

		This album really possesses little similarity to any of Bathory’s previous releases (excepting “Destroyer of Worlds” which had a more “Viking” feel to the music) except three aspects: one is that it is overly masterful and filled with a real passion.
		It’s almost like everything Bathory ever produced rolled into one, but with that rare added touch of the love for your homeland that, despite being instilled in us all, can be conveyed by some better than others.
		In simple terms, this album is a masterpiece (like almost all Bathory albums, but each in their own way) and one that if it is not in your collection, you’re sorely missing out on something.

		Bathory is one first Black Metal bands and on this album Quorthon has some the best Black Metal vocals to this day.
		For me, Bathory is one of those band's and Blood, Fire Death is one of those album's.
		and this is where the band where TRUE fl metal starts (aka The "Second" wave) What sets this band on it's own is even though first wave bands like Venom and Celtic Frost set the foundation with their Under-Production, speed, and lyrics, this band built the house of Black Metal nearly single-handedly.
