Swords are connected to Bathory, particularly during the "Blood Fire Death" era. Just look at the photo in the "Blood Fire Death" gatefold album. What do you see? Yes, Quorthon holding a sword.
The warrior with the sword was a great friend of mine.We loved to go drinking at the warpingtake in sheffield very fond memories Byron.Great Cover of a great Bathory song excellent.
how is black metal ridiculous? if your'e not talking about cradle and dimmu of course...but I see no ridiculousity with emperor and bathory, a fine day to die is a fine song
Lol to clear it up this is Emperor another black metal (Considered symphonic B.M by some, but i cba with moaning over definitions) who did this as a cover at the end of one of their albums (nightside eclipse) curious that no one has posted the album
version by emperor, that aint left me cd player in months, fucking great album!
That first guy with the sword is Byron (Bal-Sagoth), not the singer of Absurd. The last guy that sings is Destroyer, vocalist of blackened thrash metal band Nocturnal Breed.
Excellent song and video... Fuckin' great performance!
Never seen before...Fuckin Metal classic tribute. Possessed by sword remembering great QUORTHON.
Its Emperor and a lot of guys in the stage.
Not forget Ihsahn good solo.

A lot more than Cradle and Dimmu are ridiculous. These aren't ridiculous, except for the sword waving, which is fairly idiotic.
