Another fun fact he never played live, he had session musicians and his father Börje "Boss" Forsberg support his project. No matter the support of third parties, Bathory continues to be a one-man band and a single mastermind.
@@David-Jm i read somewhere that he did some live shows at the begining of his career but then got bored and quit doing them ,and sadly there's not actual footage .
BATHORY... one of the greatest bands to ever exist in the metal scene. Plus Quorthon (he wrote all the songs and most of the music) was a genuine master of every thing he wrote, RIP Quorthon.. you will always be in our hearts. \m/
Yeah, off course it's heavy. Quorthon (guitar, vocals, main songwriter) is one of the best songwriters ever in metal, not like some this today's overrated people in music. And on most of the albums he was alone, so he played every instrument, guitars, drums, bass, because it was hard to find bandmates so he decided to do everything by himself and he also recorded, mixed, produce everything with his father. So he was just normal guy from Sweden who loved music and didn't want any fame or something like that, he just wanted to be a musician since he was a little boy. I mean he with other bands pioneered two metal genres (black metal and viking metal), there isn't to many people who can say that.
@@outis439-A First album had, for second and third albums I'm not sure. Many people to this very day are not sure if he was the only guy on some albums or he wasn't? Quorthon was a mysterious guy and he didn't give too much information about himself and the band, he just wasn't interested in fame, popularity or in selling many albums as possible, he just wanted to make music and he fuckin did, created two metal genres! He started to give some information about the band in middle 90's towards his death in 2004. If you are interested, you can check some radio interviews on youtube, where he talks about himself and the band.
He used a drum machine and sometimes hired musicians to help but on his later albums he did everything himself except for drums he even payed personally for the production of his only music video
My ffffff gawd... Vin, you completely destroyed the intro.. That intro is epic, it sets the mood so well for the rest of the song! Turn off your damn phone !!! Baaaaah !
I'd go as far as suggesting that the "heaviness" of heavy metal is a matter of the contrasts, including those contrasts between the lower-end and the treble... to me, the trebly black metal and the more bass-heavy down-tuned brutal death-metal, as well as the non-stop high-speed metal and the plodding pace of funeral/ambient/shoegaze metal alike lose out on much of the contrast that would lend it a heavier sound. For this song, you've got those ethereal acoustic strings and keyboards contrasting with those beautiful, booming drums and the buzzing guitars, while the mid-paced tempo provides enough room for the faster bits (especially in the other songs on the album), and the slower, more atmospheric parts to open up some contrast, and gives those wonderful, broad riffs room to breathe and travel. Even Quorthon's voice also has a lot of great texture to it, lending it a little more variety than usual for the more monotonous shrieked vocals of black metal (or the low bass belch of brutal death vocals!) alone have.
AHHHH YEYEYEYEYE, I'm so pumped you guys finally did this. This album in particular was the transition between Bathory's early black metal material to Hammerheart (their first true "viking metal" album), this song and the title track in particular are fucking great epics. I hope you guys delve deeper into Bathory so you can get a sense as to why many, including myself, consider Bathory the ALPHA AND OMEGA of black metal and extreme metal in general. Hail Quorthon!
I had originally been saying Journey to the End but I feel Fagning is one of the best entry points to Windir. I love Journey to the End but the last half of the song is very different.
@@khellendross3573 i can get that. i have a feeling that since they liked dunkleheit they might like journey to the end. I could be wrong though i figured theyd like the flesh and the power it holds but nope.
Windir is such a unique band. Journey to the End, Fanging, Blodssvik, Likbør are all good choices. Journey to the end is the last song on the album, if you listen to the song by itself the ending might seem a little weird.
Only problem is the Sogndal dialect, unless they do something English from 1184 or later, not seen any proper translation you get the gist from Google but that's about it.
Orgy of silence Conspiracy of peace Only the sound Of the cold northern breeze Twinsun sink fading Behind the black lake Asleep is the mountains Yet the night is awake Strange is the night Now black stars rise And many moons circle Through silent the night Along the black mountainside scattered By the campfires awaiting the dawn Two times a hundred men in battles Tried by the steel in the arrow, axe and the sword By battle worn hunger torn awaitening For the sun to break through the cold haze And for the banners of Ebal to appear On the hill in the sun's first warm rays The elder among the men looked deep into The fire and spoke loud with pride Tomorrow is a fine day to die Now the morning advance from far east Now the sun breaks through dust clouds and haze Now a forest of spears appears on the hill And steel shines bright in the sun's first rays Die Die Die Die
You forgot to mention that Quorthon (RIP) created 2 styles of music. Black metal at 14 years old and epic/viking at 17 years old (this album). Try "The Lake" from Bathory and turn off your phone when recording a video
I've been listening to bathory since 1983 I have All ways loved his music and still have 100 percent respect for quarthon, may he rest in peace in Valhalla
Esse álbum é como uma guerra, começa com a cavalaria e uma certa calma, e tudo explode em agressividade, depois de muita batalha termina de forma majestosa em Blood Fire Death com a calmaria do riff final, majestoso
Glad you guys did this one. Especially for the dude that requested it in the comments of EVERY video for months now lol. Love what you guys are doing. Hails from Tennessee!
Thank you so much for reviewing such a monumental song off one of his many masterpieces. Quorthon was such an amazing writer and composer. He not only helped launch the first wave of black metal but also single handedly created the Viking Metal sub genre. His pride for his homeland, his love for his true beliefs and his admiration for his great pagan ancestors are absolutely inspiring. Great review and reaction Vin and Sori.
Yay, glad we got this one done. Lots of people were asking for this one. Now let’s challenge you two and have you react to Deathspell Omega- A Chore For The Lost. IF YOU DARE!!
Finally the guy had his song selected! He has been commenting pretty much in every video. Well done guys. I'm also gonna insist with my pick. Septicflesh - Persepolis
This is song is not about Jihad, it's about Oskoreia. Oskoreia typically involve a ghostly or supernatural group of hunters passing in wild pursuit. The hunters may be either elves or fairies or the dead, and the leader of the hunt is often a named figure associated with Oden. Seeing the Oskoreia was thought to presage some catastrophe such as war or plague, or at best the death of the one who witnessed it. People encountering the Hunt might also be abducted to the underworld or the fairy kingdom. In some instances, it was also believed that people's spirits could be pulled away during their sleep to join the cavalcade.
Finally Paranoid Android got this request done! Think he requested both songs cause the first track bleeds into the second song. Personally the intro is a little to long for me but it does set up the mood and a kick ass surprise when the metal blasts in
@@davidblair3845 Maybe you do not know that many musicians in the metal scene worldwide were inspired by the music of Quorthon and those musicians made original music, maybe you can show us something more original? Or are you just sitting in front of your screen because you have nothing smarter to do? In the world there are two types of people, those who do and those who observe.
I gotta get myself some Bathory! You're the coolest Christians I've ever seen! And I know butch nuns, a hippie Catholic priest who played Dylan in Catholic school, a Goth ex-nun, two pastors of LGBT-affirming churches, and a Christian sensei who taught me Jackie Chan moves to nu-metal! And I'm an Atheist, with mostly Wiccan, Atheist, and Buddhist friends!
Long story short, this song is the connection between the Black Metal Bathory and the Viking Metal Bathory! I suggest you from the viking era,Twilight of the gods (the complete 14 minutes version "Prologue-Twilight of the Gods-Epilogue")
My introduction to Carcass came from their 'Peel Sessions' EP, which was about as unearthly, weird, eroded, alien, and decayed as anything Carcass in particular - and grindcore in general - had ever done before or since; the 'Peel Sessions' recording sounded like it was performed in another universe and broadcast from the other side using the most primitive and makeshift of experimental equipment so it could be recorded for scientific study by human scientists....
Have I proven my point yet? This was a young kid changing the extreme music scene all by his lonesome. At this point he had musicians to play for him. And not just his father's studio to record in. So the quality of the music got better with each release. This is the second of two album. that gave birth to black metal. Not the party metal Venom made. And there were no muslims on the Scandinavian battlefields. So please don't shit on the viking culture by calling it jihad. And when vikings died in battle. It was believed that half of them were picked by Frøya. The goddess of love To hang out in her halls. And guard her in the eternal war of good and evil that all religions seem to believe in. Before Odin got the rest to have in his halls. There is a lot about the Norse religion that was abolished by christians. And only survived through poems. So everyone thinks that vikings went to Odin's halls to just wage war. And Sori didn't quite like it. That is one more thing that proves that this is black metal. The first black metal bands didn't go for heavy. They went for disturbing. It wasn't until Enslaved found their own style, (heavily inspired by this album) heavy came back into the genre.
Jihad has one meaning and it's to spread Islam by the sword. Jihad is not "having a debate" or an "augment". It's doing everything in your ability to destroy everyone who is not a muslim. On the other hand, dying as a fighter in Norse cultures is competently different. The way these kingdoms functioned and acted wasn't too different from other European countries at the time. "Vikings" aka the raiders, were a tiny part of Norse societies. They were mainly the fit young men with no families, who could row the best. Other than that, these northern kingdoms traded and explored and did everything like others. They went out of conquests in England, but people still speculate for the reasons to this day. It doesn't mean that they waged war on Christianity itself. And then, lots of cultures went on lots of conquests for lots of reasons.
"This is the second of two album. that gave birth to black metal" How so? It's Bathory's 4th black metal album and one could argue that Hellhammer, Tormentor, Vulcano and Parabellum all released black metal demo's before Bathory. Not to take anything away from the man though...
Bathory were a very important band. As a reminder, you two should listen to your reaction to One Rode to Asa Bay again, just to see in what ways their sound changed significantly. This also sounds a lot heavier than most black metal because this came out in 1988, and Bathroy was part of the first-wave of black metal, which was still heavily rooted in thrash metal. The second-wave of black metal that originated in Norway in the early 90s took heavy influence from Bathory and several other bands and evolved the sound to more of what you're familiar with when you think of black metal of today. Of all of the so-called first-wave black metal bands, I would still say that Bathory was the most important and still sounds the closest to modern black metal.
@@XPGrindDeathking Generally, Bathory may as well have been. But through out most of Bathory's time, Quorthon did have a drummer and usually had a bass player with him. They changed frequently and didn't get much spotlight, and so easy to forget, but they were there enough for Quorthon to consider them more than guest musicians in some of his later interiews. Where he specifically questioned why people just thought of them as guest musicians.
We need the full reaction/review of King Diamond’s Abigail album, right? Now that you’ve heard one song off that album, you’ll want to get the whole story 😉 I know you’ll gonna like it. ”The birth of Abigail would soon be realized. The second coming of a devil in disguise”...
The lyrics and the artwork is based on the Northern European tradition of the Wild Hunt or Furious Host. Odin with the Valkyries ride in the nightsky to take along with them in Valhalla the souls of the dead people that fell in the battlefield. In the other European countries, the tradition is around other local deities (Hecate, Wudan, the Faerie Lady, Perchta etc)
Haven’t listened to this song in a long time and I can sing along with every single word. The thing I love about Bathory is his voice, the tone on the guitar that’s consistent yet different on every album, and you can always hear the bass no matter what album or song.
Bathory was one very talented guy, who played every instrument himself, and produced this classic himself. Tomas Forsberg (stage name Quorthorn) sadly died in 2004 due to heart failure. They stopped touring back in 1985 as he couldn't be bothered arranging gigs. Very influential guy.
Dear Santa I've been a relatively good boy during this year. All I ask is happiness and health for everyone and Vin and Sori reacting to Paradise Lost - Hallowed Land :)
The lyrics are a stark reminder of my time in Afghanistan fighting the war. US Army Infantry 2011-2012. Located just below the Korengal Valley. This is my absolute favorite black metal song.
Thanx for reacting to the most important Scandinavian Black Metal Band/Project ever!...."One Rode to Asa Bay" (Official Video) and the LP Titel Track "Twilight of the Gods" are still my All Time Faves....by the way,we talk about Scandinavian War,so not Jihad,but Ragnarök.The LP Cover Painting is called Åsgårdsreien (1872) from Peter Nicolai Arbo.Translated "The Wild Hunt/Odin's Hunt/Ride to Asgard,the residence of the northern goddess.Read the "Edda",the "Bible" of our ancient Northern Gods.....Greatings from old Germania,FENRIS over and out.....9.8 is ok ;)
YEEESSS! Bathory 🤘🏻Awesome review and discussion as always... However please may I ask you two to review more AMON AMARTH it has been far too long now since your last reaction: Under the Northern Star, Father of the Wolf, Death in Fire, One Thousand Burning Arrows, Blood Eagle, Thousand Years of Oppression, Back On Northern Shores, The Pursuit of Vikings, Tattered Banners and Bloody Flags, A Beast Am I, Raise Your Horns.🤘🏻🤘🏻
69 views, nice. You should react to Enter the Eternal Fire next! my personal favorite of them. And then Alcest - Écailles de Lune pt.1 (not related at all but a totally beautiful song and I'll always request it)
beyond epic i love this song and the album is the best metal album ever. the songs a war cry before going into battle, the cover art of the album is the valkyrie talking the fallen to vallhala. and the lyrics are from a poem (i think i maybe wrong)... and i never got round to thanking you for the motorhead 1916 reaction video thank you 👌🤘🏼🤗
Glad to hear this classic again with you guys! i would suggest -Bathory In nomine satanas I suggest the video with lyrics.Tells the story of making a blood pact with Satan in an awesome way. Also check out Enslaved-Urtical gods Amazing riffs and vocals! Thanks for reading!
In going to keep trying. Theocracy- I Am Theocracy- Mirror of Souls Anathema- Internal Landscapes Anathema- Flying live from Bulgaria (this song has an one the best solos ever)
R.I.P Quorthon
:(
May he rest his head in the halls of Valhalla
In memoriam, brother.
Rip 🤘🙁
RIP Master
It still blows my mind that this came out in 1988...
For real
zombiTrout. The guitar tone gave me a very Ride the Lightning era Metallica vibe - never heard this song before and i kinda' liked it.
Checkout the first album by "Piledriver", they were Black Metal before Bathory.
I randomly came across it in 1989, just a year after I started listening to metal at all. Warped my young mind forever.
@@Blutroth Came out same year as the self titled Bathory album
Quorton was really a genious one man band
fun fact: film director Jonas Åkerlund played drums in Bathory 1983-4
hell yeah ma !! A fine day to die/Oden Rides To Nordland! on full volume is so fucking gooodd its insane
Fun fact his Daddy paid for all of this
Another fun fact he never played live,
he had session musicians and his father Börje "Boss" Forsberg support his project. No matter the support of third parties, Bathory continues to be a one-man band and a single mastermind.
@@David-Jm i read somewhere that he did some live shows at the begining of his career but then got bored and quit doing them ,and sadly there's not actual footage .

All we know for sure is that Jonas Åkerlind has made his career boasting about drumming for Bathory (for 2-3 weeks)
My ffffff gawd... Vin, you completely destroyed the intro.. That intro is epic, it sets the mood so well for the rest of the song! Turn off your damn phone !!! Baaaaah !
ikr?! why he cant put down his phone for 10 damn minutes while he is making a video......disrespect at its finest, to the music and to the viewers
I was so disappointed to witness that, I was like "f*ck yeah, they'll love this intro", then THAT happened.
It was Quorthon calling reminding him to turn off the fckn phone!
LMFAO
his boy varg called him
I think you’re trying to say that most Black Metal is more focused on treble and less on bass which plays a factor on how “heavy” a song would sound.
I'd go as far as suggesting that the "heaviness" of heavy metal is a matter of the contrasts, including those contrasts between the lower-end and the treble... to me, the trebly black metal and the more bass-heavy down-tuned brutal death-metal, as well as the non-stop high-speed metal and the plodding pace of funeral/ambient/shoegaze metal alike lose out on much of the contrast that would lend it a heavier sound.
For this song, you've got those ethereal acoustic strings and keyboards contrasting with those beautiful, booming drums and the buzzing guitars, while the mid-paced tempo provides enough room for the faster bits (especially in the other songs on the album), and the slower, more atmospheric parts to open up some contrast, and gives those wonderful, broad riffs room to breathe and travel. Even Quorthon's voice also has a lot of great texture to it, lending it a little more variety than usual for the more monotonous shrieked vocals of black metal (or the low bass belch of brutal death vocals!) alone have.
Black metal is heavy

Finally! You guys should also check out Windir- Journey to the End, Ending, or Arntor Ein Windir.
Very good choice
I had originally been saying Journey to the End but I feel Fagning is one of the best entry points to Windir. I love Journey to the End but the last half of the song is very different.
@@khellendross3573 i can get that. i have a feeling that since they liked dunkleheit they might like journey to the end. I could be wrong though i figured theyd like the flesh and the power it holds but nope.
Windir is such a unique band. Journey to the End, Fanging, Blodssvik, Likbør are all good choices.
Journey to the end is the last song on the album, if you listen to the song by itself the ending might seem a little weird.
Only problem is the Sogndal dialect, unless they do something English from 1184 or later, not seen any proper translation you get the gist from Google but that's about it.
Orgy of silence
Conspiracy of peace
Only the sound
Of the cold northern breeze
Twinsun sink fading
Behind the black lake
Asleep is the mountains
Yet the night is awake
Strange is the night
Now black stars rise
And many moons circle
Through silent the night
Along the black mountainside scattered
By the campfires awaiting the dawn
Two times a hundred men in battles
Tried by the steel in the arrow, axe and the sword
By battle worn hunger torn awaitening
For the sun to break through the cold haze
And for the banners of Ebal to appear
On the hill in the sun's first warm rays
The elder among the men looked deep into
The fire and spoke loud with pride
Tomorrow is a fine day to die
Now the morning advance from far east
Now the sun breaks through dust clouds and haze
Now a forest of spears appears on the hill
And steel shines bright in the sun's first rays
Die
Die
Die
Die
One of my favorites. One of the most important early black metal tunes
Haven't jammed to Bathory is such a long time. Thanks for playing and reviewing. Good to hear old school stuff again

"Vikings" aka the raiders, were a tiny part of Norse societies. They were mainly the fit young men with no families, who could row the best. Other than that, these northern kingdoms traded and explored and did everything like others. They went out of conquests in England, but people still speculate for the reasons to this day. It doesn't mean that they waged war on Christianity itself. And then, lots of cultures went on lots of conquests for lots of reasons.
"This is the second of two album. that gave birth to black metal" How so? It's Bathory's 4th black metal album and one could argue that Hellhammer, Tormentor, Vulcano and Parabellum all released black metal demo's before Bathory. Not to take anything away from the man though...
@@mysticsaxophone4181 and Mayhems DeathCrush is full of Venom/Hellhammer style riffs
hornswoggle lover39 the first album was punk not even "metal"
Bathory were a very important band. As a reminder, you two should listen to your reaction to One Rode to Asa Bay again, just to see in what ways their sound changed significantly. This also sounds a lot heavier than most black metal because this came out in 1988, and Bathroy was part of the first-wave of black metal, which was still heavily rooted in thrash metal. The second-wave of black metal that originated in Norway in the early 90s took heavy influence from Bathory and several other bands and evolved the sound to more of what you're familiar with when you think of black metal of today. Of all of the so-called first-wave black metal bands, I would still say that Bathory was the most important and still sounds the closest to modern black metal.
Bathory was a one man band.
@@XPGrindDeathking Generally, Bathory may as well have been. But through out most of Bathory's time, Quorthon did have a drummer and usually had a bass player with him. They changed frequently and didn't get much spotlight, and so easy to forget, but they were there enough for Quorthon to consider them more than guest musicians in some of his later interiews. Where he specifically questioned why people just thought of them as guest musicians.
We need the full reaction/review of King Diamond’s Abigail album, right?
Now that you’ve heard one song off that album, you’ll want to get the whole story 😉
I know you’ll gonna like it.
”The birth of Abigail would soon be realized. The second coming of a devil in disguise”...
I still have this on cassette.
Opeth - Demon of the Fall!!
I listened to this as a child and it opened up a new metal world for me. All hail!
Finally
so glad you listened to this has been a classic for over 30 years, enjoy guys.....xx
The lyrics and the artwork is based on the Northern European tradition of the Wild Hunt or Furious Host. Odin with the Valkyries ride in the nightsky to take along with them in Valhalla the souls of the dead people that fell in the battlefield. In the other European countries, the tradition is around other local deities (Hecate, Wudan, the Faerie Lady, Perchta etc)
Haven’t listened to this song in a long time and I can sing along with every single word. The thing I love about Bathory is his voice, the tone on the guitar that’s consistent yet different on every album, and you can always hear the bass no matter what album or song.
Wszystkie albumy Bathorego są zajebiste. Pozdro Ave Bathory
BATHORY!!!!!!!! Thank you guys so much for making these videos!!!
Bathory was one very talented guy, who played every instrument himself, and produced this classic himself. Tomas Forsberg (stage name Quorthorn) sadly died in 2004 due to heart failure. They stopped touring back in 1985 as he couldn't be bothered arranging gigs.
Very influential guy.
Just a truly amazing album. I was about 16 when this came out and it blew my mind, continues too now.
Candlemass - Demon's Gate
Judas Priest - Cathedral Spires
Black Sabbath - Cross of Thorns

Finally, paranoid android can rest.
paranoid android lol...what song u wanna review of next?
Do more of these guys! This is badass!
The lyrics are a stark reminder of
my time in Afghanistan fighting the war. US Army Infantry 2011-2012. Located just below the Korengal Valley. This is my absolute favorite black metal song.
Thanx for reacting to the most important Scandinavian Black Metal Band/Project ever!...."One Rode to Asa Bay" (Official Video) and the LP Titel Track "Twilight of the Gods" are still my All Time Faves....by the way,we talk about Scandinavian War,so not Jihad,but Ragnarök.The LP Cover Painting is called Åsgårdsreien (1872) from Peter Nicolai Arbo.Translated "The Wild Hunt/Odin's Hunt/Ride to Asgard,the residence of the northern goddess.Read the "Edda",the "Bible" of our ancient Northern Gods.....Greatings from old Germania,FENRIS over and out.....9.8 is ok ;)
As a 16 year old boy i stood in front of the mirror with a sword in my hand like the guys on the back cover :D
FINALLY homie gets his song done, props to the Alliance!
Bathory was Black Metal , he change Viking Metal after he died. He was from Sweden. This album started Viking album. He was one men band.
YEEESSS! Bathory 🤘🏻Awesome review and discussion as always... However please may I ask you two to review more AMON AMARTH it has been far too long now since your last reaction: Under the Northern Star, Father of the Wolf, Death in Fire, One Thousand Burning Arrows, Blood Eagle, Thousand Years of Oppression, Back On Northern Shores, The Pursuit of Vikings, Tattered Banners and Bloody Flags, A Beast Am I, Raise Your Horns.🤘🏻🤘🏻
The sounds of Odin's riding across the sky!!! Hail Odin, hail old Norse beliefs!!!
Opeth-Demon Of The Fall/The Moor
If you want to understand the roots of Bathory's viking metal, Manowar's Into Glory Ride album is the best place to start as the main influence.
The choral part in the intro sounds like Carl Orff's Carmina Burana - good stuff!
Caught Somewhere in Time by Iron Maiden 🤘🤘🤟🤘🤟🤘🤟🤘🤘🤟🤟🤟🤘🤟🤘🤟🤟🤟🤟🤟🤘🤟🤘🤘🤘🤟🤘🤘🤘
"This is uh... probably the heaviest Black Metal song I've ever heard"
Oh my sweet summer child

69 views, nice. You should react to Enter the Eternal Fire next! my personal favorite of them.
And then Alcest - Écailles de Lune pt.1 (not related at all but a totally beautiful song and I'll always request it)

@@slayazcreeps I bet Vin doesn't kiss ya!
When your ringtone is more brutal than the intro 🤘🏻😂
beyond epic i love this song and the album is the best metal album ever. the songs a war cry before going into battle, the cover art of the album is the valkyrie talking the fallen to vallhala. and the lyrics are from a poem (i think i maybe wrong)... and i never got round to thanking you for the motorhead 1916 reaction video
