Pretty good cover, in fact, all the covers from this tribute album seem to be amazingly good. Though nothing compares to Quorthon's first scream on this track; it's so epic that it sends chills down my back.
What a vocal in this version... I'm amazed really... Not as good as Bathory (ofcourse!) but still some of the best music I've heard. Great cover, this song is one of the best asskicking songs on the best asskicking CD ever written. And the second solo is the best made by Quorthon imho :).
My only complaint is Emperor does not try to make it's own bastard child. Note for note ws, good cover, but I'd rather hear BATHORY's version since it is pretty much the same. If you're going to cover a song, make it your own. Otherwise, you might as well just be a bar band.
