My fave album is predictably 'Blood Fire Death'. Just an amazing combination of styles with a wonderful atmosphere, song writing and presence. A godlike album in my eyes. 'Bathory' and 'Under the Sign of the Black Mark' come very close however with their blackened thrash briliiance.
Anyway, RIP Quorthon.

Fuck i think i have listened to Bathory and The return like 10000000000000000 times so far like almost whole Under the..... album and i dont like Blood Fire Death album except for 3 songs from there.... Hammerheart is my favorite so far and Twilight is pretty damn.... Blood on ice is cool and Destroyer of worlds is decent piece of Trash metal....Nordland saga is also briliant ,just i Quorthon died before he was able to finish it.... Only thing i absolutely hate is those Requiem and Octagon albums.....

I love the first 6 albums , the others are not bad , but the first 6 are pure awesomenes.

Good ol' Bathory has gotten a lot of verbal beating because of the later albums. As BulletDodger said, the last bunch of albums weren't rubbish, they just didn't reach the same massive weight, height and width as the earlier ones. I'd say the mid period is the best, when things are progressing. Bathory's early period is way to overrated, the late period is way too underrated.

When the first Bathory album was released I bought it and recorded a tape with it and then I played that tape more or less constantly for at least four days. At the time it was the most extreme shit you could by in a normal record shop and noone that I played it to could understand what I saw in it. The second album didn't give me the same feeling and after that I lost interest.

Hammerheart is an incredible album! I think the way Qurothon built this creepy, foreboding atmosphere around his very Viking-esque vocal approach was absolutely perfect. I really love the short pauses in the deep sounding drums too. The whole album really just screams Viking war songs on a ship sailing towards battle...awesomeness!
