Bathory - The Return of Darkness and Evil (1st Version 1983) 

Crazy to think Quorthon was only 16 when he made this.

All you need is to hear that drum opening to see the Motörhead influence.

Master..King...Quorthon..first black metal God...our KING...BATHORY FAN FOREVER...

One of the first real black metal song.

Love the reverb in the song

Coolest riffs around. 🤘🏻💀

Under-rated underground brilliance! Hail quorthon eternally! 🍻😈

im pissed. ive went on many Bathory binges before on youtube, and never found this song until fucking now.

I love Bathory, Thomas Forsberg 🤘🏻😈🤘🏻

Hail Quorthon 🤘🤘🤘R.I.P i's the best black metal real

such a genius

I find this version far more groovy.

The return of the fire and flames.

Una joya del black metal sueco

🤘⚡🔥🐐🔥⚡🤘

Thanks Bathory, It was a great time with Quorthon !! V

Weird how some people out there Don't like Bathory

A essência do Black metal está nesse som!

It was the first time I heard Bathory. I was 12 when I bought the first (Swedish) pressing of the compilation at legendary Shades in London. When I heard The Return of Darkness and Evil I was astounded! I had never heard anything so brutal and so evil! I immediately became a fan of Bathory. I later bought the edition of the LP known today as the Yellow Goat, but the production, when compared to the sampler tracks, was very poor. It was only years later that I learned that the coffin closing at the end was due to the reel-to-reel tape having run out. Almost a decade later, I was with Quorthon at a signing in Lisbon. A fantastic musician who loved his fans. He left us too soon...

Wow!

The return of those of might. Thiis year has been one crazy journey for me to say the least.

Hails to the scandinavian metal 🤘🏻

Quorthon the BOSS !!! RIP 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘

Brilliant and powers of damned. 🤘🏾🤘🏾

A sorcery written in blood Summoned by a witch in the dawn Give all the hell cause you’ve still got the strength To start up the Black Metal storm The darkness possessing - You thought that you could The blood starts to freeze in your veins Your mindset is high and it’s all to be real You’re feeling there’s no longer strength I ride the flame You take the pain I’ll raise the dead Black Metal night is here again I ride the flame You take the pain I’ll raise the dead Black Metal night is here again It's the RETURN of the darkness and evil It's the RETURN of the fire and flame It's the RETURN of my master Satan It's the RETURN of soul burning pain Sacrifice a virgin to the princess blood of hell Sacrifice the children to the queen of magic spell Gather masses run in circles scream for mercy burning flame Living hard this is the master let them feel the blood and pain They’re superior and soldiers of one His angels of goodness have lied The demon’s despising the virgin’s cries To the heaven’s of dust in the night I ride the flame You take the pain I’ll raise the dead Black Metal night is here again I ride the flame You take the pain I’ll raise the dead Black Metal night is here again It's the RETURN of the darkness and evil It's the RETURN of the fire and flame It's the RETURN of my master Satan It's the RETURN of soul burning pain

Que voltage tan brutal

iamgine if someone would redo the first two bathory albums in this style.

When Jonas Akerlund was on drums!

ptm batori gracias por existir

Thanks for a great upload👍

Brutality

I'm guessing that watain band covered this version and not the version off 'The Return...'

While I love the more Black Metal version on the album version. I do really love this more Motorhead/Venom/Tank influenced version of the track

(Motorhead + Venom + Metallica!) x Evil vocals =This!!

roseta stones of extreme metal The other on is under the sing of evil from sodom

Ahead of its time

🔥

put the lyrics on the screen

I really like this version better

Anal black fucking metal. Quorthon tenia 10 años cuando compuso esto. Una bestia.

🤘🔥🔥🔥🔥

🤘🏻

Main riff really similar to Accept - Fast As A Shark.

Whiplash!

länge leve quorthon!

👿👿👿👿👿🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
