@@joebenson528 shows what you know lol quorthon wasn’t always alone. he had a real dummer before he switched over to drum machine lol don’t make yourself look dumb , bud.
The riffs in this are some of the most badass I think that's ever been recorded. But yeah, Bathory kind of set the standard of having fuzzy buzzsaw recordings, but they always had great songwriting.
I'm 60 years old and have loved metal since I was a kid (Black Sabbath especially). I had never heard of this band, but now it has reinvigorated my thirst for metal. Thank you for providing me with another few years of great music, as I will be listening to all I can of their catalog
Bathory - “Enter the Eternal Fire” (black metal) + “Twilight of the Gods” (super epic Viking Metal). Dom Dracul’s cover of Bathory’s “You Don’t Move Me” is rad, also.
This album can actually be pointed as the one that started the shift of the black metal genre to the viking metal. Bathory is a vastly variable band when you listen to different albums. Put this one ("Blood Fire Death") next to "Twilight of the Gods" and I am pretty sure you'll not recognize it's the same band. BTW the final (title) track on this album is an epic masterpiece.
The main guy once said "if I was an Italian, I'd make songs about The Roman Empire"; but he was Swedish, thus the Viking stuff (after the earliest "Satanist" stuff).
Fuck yeah! ✊ After this album, they moved into/pioneered Viking Metal, of which there are some elements here. Singer/guitarist is Quorthon, who was also the only instrumentalist on lot of stuff. His dad, “Boss,” produced and founded this record label.
I think this song.Shores in flames..has 1 of the best solos ever.im 51..been into.metal pretty much my entire life .since kiss.iron maiden run to the hills was released.etc..I bought each bathory l.p. when released.from self titled in 84.fkn luv bathory..under the sign..I've been playing it couple times a week to this day...fkn masterpiece .and I have plenty of patience teaching these young fks that new metal etc..Will never be Quarthon or even fkn close.he changed many aspects of metal.for the extreme🤘🤘🤘🤘
@Morbid Angel is better than Death Blood Fire Death is not Black Metal. Viking Metal is certainly an offshot of Black Metal but is a subgenre with it's own specific. For Viking metal i mean stuff like Enslaved not the Amon Amarth shit of course. With Hammerheart Bathory developed their Viking metal style in a more epic (and less brutal) way.
@Morbid Angel is better than Death read well my post above, i agree with you that Viking metal is an offspring of Black Metal, of course the riffs are similar but if you listen to the first three Bathory album (pure Black Metal) you will find out the difference between black and viking
@Morbid Angel is better than Death As i told you before Hammerheart is a turn to a more epic style of Viking Metal. About the riffs on bfd i repeat that are heavly influenced by BM but is not the same sport. Please listen to; Bathory, The Return and Under The Sign Of The Black Mark and you will understand what i mean.
Thank you. Real reactions. Try "The Lake" from Bathory. He created black metal at 14 years old and epic/viking metal at 17 years old (this album). May he Rest In Peace
Love the enthusiasm! Just wanted to say Big Q was born in Feb of 66 and formed Bathory in March of 83 when he was 17. This album is from 88, when he was 23. Still very impressive though!
If a black/viking metal song evokes the feeling that you're trudging along in an ancient boat in the midst of a long ass voyage at sea, then it's been a well crafted song. As is heard here. Great job dude, glad to see you check it out!
How's about listen to all the albums, ok, yes, im biast, they are my favourite band, but ive been listening to them since the 80s. And they still make the hair on my arms stand on end. That takes a lot after so many decades for some one like me.
Actually, I don't like reaction videos because many react to music from those who have no idea! but you do it well and you try to understand the music. Good Job!!
@@TheAdventuresofTNT Black metal is a difficult subject but one of the most interesting genres in the metal universe. Actually only the 1st and 2nd waves are important because most of the music has happened there and the foundation stones have been laid.
The crazy thing about this track to me is, despite the pretty terrible mix quality I have yet to find a cover that can even hold a torch to the original.
Quorthon was quite the troll. He told a reporter his real name was something in a different language. When translated it was some kind of sexual act but the reporter included it in the interview without confirming it. Might have gotten something wrong in this but the general idea of it made me laugh.
Quorthon is uniqe and above all,Blood Fire Death is masterpiece album..and your reaction is simply..enjoying in music and give real describe of feelings...welcome in Bathory opus...
Some more black metal for you Ninkharsag- the dread March of solemn gods Fiat Knox- The archive of nightmares Mephorash- Chalice of Thagirion Baptism- Grim arts of Melancholy
Man my fav song is in nomine satanas but this song is a masterpiece I usually listen to 1 or 2 song of the band yeah metalheads can call me a poser but damn ❤ bathory legends
You should check out some songs from Watain. They covered this song, but they have MANY great songs. Also, I just discovered BAEST. Another amazing band!!!
To get the idea of the early sounds (keeping this list short), Venom's black metal, Sodom's Persecution Mania and Celtic Frost's Morbid Tales. And to get the idea what it turned in to: Mayhem - De Mysteriis Dom Sathanas, Burzum (a solo by not your friendliest person) - Det Som Engag Var and Darkthrone - A Blaze in The northern sky. Venom is the originator of black metal and thrash metal, you can hear their influence in bands like Carnivore or Impaled Nazarene. They can also be described as Metal Punk and that thing is also present with the other early black metal bands. And Japan has a huge Metal Punk scene. Some black metal bands go for that sound more than the more modern stuff. And I don't even consider the third wave black metal to be really black metal. For a kickass black metal song, try Mysticum - LSD.
I’m going to keep it honest and sincere being a person of color who’s liked metal for half of his life I’m 25 so I’ve missed a lot seeing stuff like this on YT makes me beyond fucking happy. Your analysis of this was extremely articulate and amazing. Also I don’t usually bother with suggestions but please listen to Born For Burning 🔥 that’s one of my favorites after this track.
It's a concept album,about the whole war/series of battles, I belive the Nords fighting to keep their religion again the flood of the Christians. At least that's the first interpretation i got when i first sat down with it years and years ago. I could be wrong about the details and particulars but point being its a concept album. Each song has to do with the different stages of the war/battles and mental preparation for the invasion is what you listened to in this reaction, then it gets to more detail of the warriors meeting in the field and then the aftermath etc. Its like one big song really hehe. My fav Bathory album...nr 2 would have to be Under the Sign of the Black Mark. Can't go wrong with that IMHO. I hope ppl don't mind but im gonna copy this to reactions on different channels,this is not a bot or something,just got tired of retyping it again and again 🤷♂️🤳🏻🤘😈🤘
To think I first listen to Bathory because somewhere I read that Amon Amarth was soft compared to this. Love this shit, quorton you fucking genius, wrote and played every instrument RIP
HADES, THE WOODWOMAN, as examples, are amazing Bathory songs at entirely polar ends of the spectrum. you can get clean guitars, distorted guitars, or a mix of both, same with vocals.
Ok so........ as much as you seem to enjoy black metal.... I sincerely from the bottom of my blackened heart believe that you would absolutely love a thing called viking metal! A good band to check out Is Aman amarth .
Way ahead of you. The day I discovered them were performing my city and I missed it. :( ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-a9r-XfpAlmU.html
This song is the kinda transition album before he started more of a viking metal style... This song is not what I would call a typical black metal song...
