Just returned from a late evening walk here in central europe during one of those saharan dust wave seasons. I's a cloudy day but l could see the moon shine pretty clearly, with the yellow tint it immediately reminded me of the cover art of this masterpiece, gotta put it on again tonight l guess.
@@bernabefernandeztouceda7315 definitley not. under the sign is what hooked a lot of us and has a great catalogue but the replay value of this is infinitely better than s/t and under the sign. also this sounds way more like darkthrone. fenriz even claims this is the "quintessential black metal album", and i think even euronymous talked about the influence of this album in an interview in 1992... "if you want to experience Black Metal listen to The Return by Bathory - a lot" - fenriz
I have immense respect for this album. This is in my view, the first authentic black metal album, more inspirational than Under the Sign of the Black Mark, but somehow doesn't get the love it deserves.
I prefer this one to Black Mark and self titled. For me it kinda goes like, BFD, Return, then Black Mark for top 3. Have a soft spot for Hammerheart as well
I know everyones taste is different but the statement that "The Return..." is more inspirational then "Under the Sign..." is absolutely beyond me. The whole atmosphere on "Under the Sign..." is so dark and almost cineastic while "The Return..." is basically raw black metal with punk and Motörhead influences. The lyrics on the first two albums are more tongue in cheek teenager satanism while "Under The Sign..." has all these medievil athmosphere and almost poetic lyrics. Some songs on Under The Sign have a structure and dramaturgy that resemble the lyrics - for instance "Enter The Eternal Fire" its almost like a movie inside the listeners head. And the synth lines and intros on "Under The Sign..." create this eighties horror movie athmosphere that makes it unlike any other BM album.
@@hanshandkante5055 first one sounded like motorhead and venom but i'd listen again, lots of evil riffs and a dark vibe on The Return. I think the production is more murky and that's why it sounds more evil in some wayss. the drums leave a lot to be desired with the obvious mistakes but overall I think it's more evil than Under the Sign which I love as well
Right now it's Bolt Thrower - Powder Burns, right as the riff kicks in. Even with the intro whenever it comes on my playlist I find myself reaching for my phone.
I'm trying to think of how many metal vocalists back in the mid 80s did harsh growls like Quorthon. Jeff Becerra, Tom Angelripper, Mille Petrozza, Schmier, still, I think Quorthon's style was nastier and more demonic than all of them!!!

@@timbuk1126 yup, you're right, venom played a big part in EVERYTHING extreme metal. Crazy to see how metal and punk are constantly influencing each other
😎На этом альбоме, закончилось моё знакомство с Black Metal группой Bathory! А вот остальные группы, мне не нравятся!! 🤭😔За этот альбом респект и спасибо!!! 🔥🎸🥁🎸🤗❤️❤️❤️☮️🎇
@@Davidbrompton58 You are either a troll or an idiot. "The Return" came out 1985 and "Octagon" came out 1995, also Octagon is no Black Metal, so what the hell are you talking about?
@@thesabbath483 For someone who calls himself "Fuckingslayer" you know not much about your favorite band. Slayer is and always have been a THRASH METAL BAND. Hell Awaits is 100% pure old school thrash, not Black Metal.
En la oscura y trágica noche los pregoneros del deber oh negros pajaros funebres, santos del cielo en la cima del roble, mástil perdido en la noche encantada. Dejen ya la curruca de la primavera para aquel que en la noche encadena, sobre la yerba que impide la huida, la funesta derrota.
Though I'm more a thrasher: this album is, was and will be genius! I remember the times this album was released. You didn't say "I listen to black.", "I listen to death.", "Ilisten to thrash." or whatever you f*** like. We just said: "I hear, love and live Metal!" And that's what it is about! METAL!!!!!! 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
Well, that's just because at that point genres weren't really established to categorize shit yet. Genres are a categorization tool, there's no need to take them too seriously like the man above.
Genau! In those days everything fell into just one category : Noise! Then the "waves" started to be named and nowadays every Metalhead needs to be a surfer (?). To me it's still all one category : My Life!
@@michaelboyle5805 I hate how everything is classified in sub genres now. How would you even begin to categorize Bathory? Tomas created multiple sub categories of metal single handedly. Bathory was Black, Thrash and Viking Metal. Interestingly enough, the sub genres did do a lot of us a big favor, by allowing us to avoid certain genres altogether. Like Deathcore and Metalcore. I hate death/metal core break downs. And pretty much every band that fits in the ( We write our songs around slow, overly exaggerated breakdowns) all fit into those categories lol. Pros and Cons I guess. Anyway, REST IN POWER TOMAS!
The best metal album ever!! past present and future. His others were ok,but this is sublime.. it's like the genius and crazy Mozart was reborn in this masterpiece in the form of Bathory. Reap of evil-return of darkness..is as brilliant as Mozart Requiem (doesn't matter if he didn't write it all) .. only genius can put it on paper and make it work.
Bathory wrote itself tragedy play in this one.The whole album is besieged by somber lifeless fields where the mistery of night dwelling. So,it is an album made by Bathory within of its trajetory and time. If there was the possibility to remake that all the obscurity inside could be lost.
@@belzebub2352 Yep I don't know the name, lost the inlay years ago but it has three songs. The return of the Darkness and Evil, Born for Burning and Total Destruction. It's from '83 or '84
@@belzebub2352 I think The Return was on the Scandinavian Metal Attack but that album got lost long time ago so can't check that (also no longer on sale anywhere 🥺
Oh my Master! Thomas Börje Forsberg was an epoch-making musician... with a band that basically never existed... He created and launched Black Metal with his first three LPs recorded in a garage, he actually wrote and played the songs alone, because the band members were only on the album cover indicated. As he said: we just are a studioproject. "Ace" was a genius full of wild ideas, but at the same time he was one of the world's greatest illusionists. Rest in Peace!
@@technodrome Listen - people say this because NBM became the focus of attention in the early 90s when most people were teens. Older people remember the times before; i don't care if the N. scene copied Quorthon to the bone, it's up to them, but because of that, all the Gen-Y's consider Bathory the mother of all things evil. But the proto-concept was created in Geordie. DTFWI.
This was the one that started the bloodline. I get shivers listening to the filthy sound that all together grabs me from behind with both of its arms...and takes me to this horrible place ... A placei feel at home among the wretched ...where I am welcome . Truly a masterpiece.. a eye open..into the void I come alive without fear with out pride...
Totally influenced by Venom,Bathory made an excellent album,so good as their first work,"Bathory ".Better production and wonderful songs turned it into a classic of Black Metal. Bang your head!
If yer talkin strictly the nomenclature, then give the prize to Venom. But we talkin about MUSIC here, not some attempt at a pop cultural taxonomy. & Bathory was the first act to sound like what Black Metal would become. Venom just sounded like extra-sloppy Motörhead... 🦃😈🤘🦃
By the end of The Return of Darkness and Evil at 36:07, Quorthon got angry and destroyed his guitar because he couldn't play the guitar solo the way he wanted.
