Woman of Dark Desires He has simply merged that furor with a lyrical hierarchy that means enough to him that he would continue to trace it through the remainder of his career as Bathory. Probably one of the main highlights in the overall album.

How tiresome it is and how cyclical by using occasional repetition and strong, shrieked vocals, though he has the ability to alter the vocals on occasions to more of a harsh, raspy scream. [18], The term 'black metal' came from Venom's 1982 album of that name. If you look at the lyrics, the first letter of each line spells "SATAN" and keeps repeating the pattern. Their first recording deal came that same year, when Quorthon managed to secure the consent of Tyfon Grammofon's boss (Quorthon's father Börje Forsberg, although Quorthon himself spread rumors to keep the audience unaware of this) to record two tracks for the compilation Scandinavian Metal Attack in 1984. And WOW, for the first time other band members (Wornth and Kothaar of the great Norwegian tribe of unpronounceable warriors) are actually named and pictured!! Slow and heavy, quite similar to Call From The Grave, but the growl is a bit less harsh on this one. Enter the Eternal Fire The riffs are basic but memorable. That’s probably why I don’t have as much problem with shorter songs on albums like this because, as with the brooding ‘Pace’ Till Death’, the shorter songs build images in my head of how fragile life is, how quickly a life can end and the destruction caused by man on his fellow man. MAAAAASSSSACRRRRRRREEEE! Speaking of Kreator earlier, Choir Of The Damned can't even touch this.

Bathory strays away from Venom's humorous take on Satanism and occult themes in this album. While most of the riffs are basic and straightforward (which is why I thought this felt like thrash-black metal), the soloing is superb. What I find most amazing in listening back to the album is how the guitars actually somehow take a back seat to the louder vocals and drums, but the patterns are deadly, powerful and hypnotic enough that they catch your ear anyway. (At least "Dies Irae" deserves the honour that its excerpt "Even the heavens shall burn when we are gathered" might have inspired Marduk in their search for a fitting album title.) [20][10] Quorthon often denied being influenced by Venom and claimed that he "heard Venom for the first time in late 1984 or early 1985", never owned a Venom album and was primarily influenced by Black Sabbath, Motörhead and GBH;[10] however, he admitted in an interview for Metal Forces that he first listened to Venom's Black Metal in 1983 and considered it "one of the best albums ever made. Since these ideas came to nothing, it would be the last time that Quorthon ever considered playing live with Bathory. I do realize that most people would like either “Bathory” or “Hammerheart” or “Blood Fire Death” LPs more, and sure, they are also fantastic, but for me “Under the Sign of Black Mark” is the most thrilling and perfectly composed and arranged piece of Quorthon’s music. Hear that? The Golden Walls Of Heaven - Here's where the album really starts to give Kreator a run for the money. "A Fine Day to Die" and "Blood Fire Death" are the most ambitious undertakings Bathory had taken to date.

This album is full of great riffs and solos, unique and effective production and powerful vocals. Mixing in accoustic guitars at the beginning to help add to the macabre atmosphere of the album.

Although the thrashier tunes from "The Golden Walls of Heaven" to "Dies Irae" are a considerable change of pace, the rawness throughout gives Blood Fire Death a surprising coherence. And even if the likes of “The Golden Walls of Heaven” quality wise aren’t as good, it is good enough to just have this LP in the collection and build an altar for it – if you already haven’t got the whole Bathory chapel in your basement! It’s literally that heavy. “Dies Irae” takes a similarly long winded route, but has more of a “Fight Fire With Fire” feel to it, but with a far nastier vocal delivery.

A Fine Day To Die: This song is a riff-machine! A Fine Day to Die "Call From the Grave", another stomping mid-tempo jewel with very charismatic vocals and a sprawling guitar solo that seemingly opens the gates to eternity, builds a bridge to "Buried Alive" and "Woman of Dark Desires" lies naturally in close proximity to "Countess Bathory". Simply put, this album is PERFECT. I doubt this is just a "coincidence" to Venom, like the debute album was. Hail Bathory! This album is nothing short of a cult classic, it's hard to believe it's age really. No official member names were released during the period. While some of the faster tunes will sound similar on the first few listens, repeated listenings will reveal plenty of differences in the tunes. Without doubt, this was just another promotion gimmick that I do not understand as well. But just when you think you’ve figured it out, a huge wall of distortion and blasting drums hits you right in the jaw. Where the Bathory worshippers I've heard capitalize on one era over another, I'm not sure I've heard one that manages to bring both sides together in full force.
