Founded in the early 1980s by Quorthorn, Bathory is widely regarded as the first black metal band, with their early albums defining the genre’s raw, dark, and atmospheric sound. Albums like “Under the Sign of the Black Mark” (1987) and “The Return……” (1985) set the blueprint for countless black metal bands to follow, delivering haunting melodies, relentless riffs, and an unmistakable atmosphere.
In the late 80s and early 90s, Bathory pioneered a new subgenre with their Viking metal classics “Blood Fire Death” (1988) and “Hammerheart” (1990). These albums combined epic, narrative-driven lyrics with grandiose compositions, inspired by Norse mythology and Viking history, solidifying Bathory’s place as one of the most influential bands in metal.
Though Quorthorn passed away in 2004, his influence is still felt across the heavy metal world, with bands like Emperor, Behemoth, and Satyricon continuing to draw inspiration from Bathory’s groundbreaking work.
