Found this little nugget in the Bathory website...

(Quothorn discussing his early views on other bands, c.1985)

" - But realy, you were so much into your own thing at the time, you had very narrow horizons. For instance I couldn't stand Celtic Frost and Kreator at all and thought I hated them immensely. And the fanzines took great pleasure in passing that infromation on and on idefenately. I even remember once or twice pouring crap on Voi Vod even though I had actually never heard even one complete Voi Vod track. In 1999 or 2000 some time, somebody in Ontario anonymously sent me a bunch of recent Voi Vod CD's. So I had a listen to all of them and had to confess to myself how fucking great and truly original that was. So that was a revelation seventeen years too late."

Just who was this "somebody in Ontario", I wonder?

You REALLY need Blood Fire Death.

--------------------

"Forty-five moments of perfection translated through a cautionary escape into the perils of the mundane, the inherent entropy in ultimate order, and the potential threats of eternal, unchecked apathy in civilization; all cloaked in musical expression so thoughtful, creative and forward thinking that almost a quarter-century later, few can even comprehend it, much less match it."

The first two Bathory albums are pretty bad in my opinion but Under The Sign Of The Black Mark, Blood Fire Death and Hammerheart are all absolutely stunning. Twighlight Of The Gods is not bad but it went badly downhill for a while when Quorthorn opted for a 'back to basics' approach which backfired. Both Requiem and Octagon are poor and really for completists (like me!). Things did pick up considerably after that; Blood on Ice and Destroyer Of Worlds are pretty decent albums, definintely worth purchasing. Nordland 1 and 2 are worth listening to before you buy as they are both a bit hit and miss. But out of all of them Blood Fire Death is the best, even at 18 years old it is still an essential album and I have never tired of it. The title track is one of the greatest black metal songs ever written.

The three Jubileum releases are interesting too and feature unreleased stuff.

I never really liked the Quorthorn solo albums, they were a bit too 'rock and roll' for me.

I quite liked Quorthon's Purity of Essence double cd, myself.... especially for the guitar work. I feel it's where he truly shined as a guitarist. Enormous influence on my own playing.

I never liked F1. The more money you put into it the better the result and that sucks. This has nothing to do about sports.
Oh why should i bother, This was about the great quornthon. sorry about that.
