Bathory Retrospective 

Varg mentioned many times that War was a tribute to Bathory.

Burzum is a one-man project and Varg didn't rip off anything, "War" is his homage to Bathory.

Hammerheart and Twilight are more different than you think. Hammerheart has lots of super heavy riffs going in and it has a much thicker atmosphere. Twilight is softer, more melodic and more progressive. It has more cleans, acoustic guitars, etc. It's also very spiritual and metaphysical sounding, where Hammerheart is straightforward viking metal.

The Return is their most underrated album. That one is up there as one of their best for sure

when I was real young, and would see a bathory album, I thought it said bathord.

The videos on this channel are so underrated

When I first listened to Bathory's "Blood Fire Death" I was immediately brought into the sound. Love every minute of it.

Call from the Grave is the first Bathory song I ever heard

I can imagine cartman singing Viking metal now

Quorthon predicted Mayhem

Quorthon, have a nice time in Valhalla. Odin is proud of you!

The Lake is also my favorite song from Blood on Ice. It's amazing. One of my favorite songs ever.

no band's sound evolved more than Bathory...RIP Quorthon, a true genius and legend!

I enjoyed the video. As a long time Bathory fan I appreciate it. I first heard Requiem in '95 when I was 15 years old. Quorthon was doing interviews and promoting for Octagon (the Metal Maniacs interview is what sold me), so I took a chance and ordered Requiem and loved it. It blew me away. Within 6 months I had all of their albums, some shirts, finding any info about Quorthon/Bathory, and spreading the word about them to any who would listen. Been my favorite band since, and was devastated when he died. Also, for their 20th anniversay (March 2003) I had the Bathory logo tattooed across my back. I could go on, but I'll stop.

The best black metal band ever

Amazing band, everybody has to accept that Quorthon makes several masterpieces of music. He nailed that and creates a revolutionary kind of music.

Wow, such a great retrospective! Love it, thanks for sharing

The first Bathory song I heard was Possessed.

Great video man. Really intriguing to watch.

Hammerheart is straight forward with the heavy riffs, rough singing, references to norse mythology, and has a more thicker atmosphere or ambience while Twilight of the Gods is more softer, bittersweet as if you're riding into battle for the last time, and introduces acoustic guitars which I love. Both albums are amazing in my opinion especially Hammerheart which is how I got introduced to black metal.
