the greatest metal song ever written,on the best ever metal album.I think we played it for non stop for a week after buying it when it first came out..waiting all morning at pipe imports in Melbourne,got a flask of bundy rum,and 2 UDLs!! those were the days!! bathory venom kreator possessed..
Perfect combination of music and film! These "Faust" clips helps showing how powerful and evil those single notes in the main melody really are. *shivers*
@embeevenom There is more than just the vocals that make 'The Return' (NOT the debut album) sound like black metal as we think of it today. The atmosphere, the riffs, the raw production. This album had, for instance, a profound impact on Darkthrone's sound.
1st wave 80's black metal can be defined by the lyrics, so yes, Venom is black metal. However, this is the first black metal album that truly fits into the musical definition that has grown from the second wave.
K venom made the term black metal but bathory made the screeches and lovley growls venom came out 1978 bathory 1983 venoms first cd 1980 bathorys1984 it's all close it's possible that quorthon never heard of them until someone might have went up to him and said hey you sound like this band called venom then he probably looked into it and said SHIT we r almost the same qawincidence idk how to fuckin spell it but u get my point
The story said Black Metal was a name coined by Quorthon in 1985 after hearing the Venom album of 1982 whose name was "Black Metal". Dunno if it was THAT who named the genre, but wouldn't it be good if it was? I mean, the first Bathory albums were one of the best shit that there was in black metal, right? I remember that time, I was 16 by that time, and you wouldn't even DARE think about how HARD it was to get your hands on that music back then. In Belgium. Don't even dare.
your the peedo you cunt ;i tried having a decent conversation with you but you still won't tell me you're bands name you fucking pansy.You're only on here to feel good about yourself and make huge claims ; go back to your estonian mud hut and do some totty picking you gay prick ;FUCK YOU , GARGLE ON BROKEN BOTTLES YA FUD.
Besides the only African Metal i heard of were Absence of Light from Nairobi ,Kenya,and Crescent from Cairo ,Egypt.Magnuss Nilsson a Journalist went to Gaberone in Botswana to investigate the non-existence of metal in Africa in the 70's and never heard of your band.Venom were the first with BLACK METAL in 1979.Sorry to put you right .
@poulsontheprick we were before venom around in the 70s that dickhead didnt look hard enough.Besides i didnt we were from africa i said we were huge there.We were from estonia you fucking idiot.Quorthorn wishes he invented black metal.
@67675656565655656565 Stop calling me an idiot ;and if u are from estonia how come u can afford a computer u fucking 3rd world farmer cunt.I'll chew you up BOY.
@poulsontheprick how abbout you get fucked idiot because i made heaps of money from being the first black metal and quorthorn used to give me royalties so did hellhammer/celtic frost for copying my art. So you like chewing up young boys are a you a paedophile ?
Neither did you asswipe.Lemmy invented speed metal.But Black Metal goes way back to bands like Cloven Hoof . You're just pulling dates from the trees .If you wanna slag someone off why not try Nixon Tragedy ; he reckons no-one knows more about music than him .He's 19 and plays the piano;cello ;guitar and drums .He recently worked as an advisor to Metallica and taught Dave Mustaine how to do the Spider Walk.He told me that i know fuck all about music despite playing drums for 30 years .Good luck!
@67675656565655656565 Are u for real ?Who the fuck are you calling an Arsehole ?You fucking cavedwelling barrel of monkey shit?I'll boot your bawz ya fucking melon; i couldn't give a fuck about what mental hospital your'e in ya spazzy;Bite ma Banjo and kiss my Death Metal Superiority fuckstick !ha ha ha !You haven't even the balls to tell us all what you're groundbreaking band were called .crowshit?carpathian dungheap?discarded shitstick?dream on.....
demasiado bueno me gusto burda el video blanco y negro como peliculas viejas de terror, uffffffff esos efectos visuales estupendos años sin ver BATHORY \mL aaaaaaaaaaaaaa in 2:32 super ese grito saludos for all black metal girls and boys del mundo desde VENEZUELA..... girls kisses
i love bathory (i found this out about 20 minutes ago), but i gotta say, im more of a fan of the bm, and not so much the viking metal stuff. but props regardless for making black metal into the infamous genre it is now, and for fucking MAKING viking metal. made 2 genres. thats ridiculous.
That was such a cool video. the old black and white footage was perfect for the raw sound of early Bathory. The video and the music go hand in hand. Black Metal is cool when it avoids cliches but this fits erfect. AN old school touch to classic headbanging tune from the mighty Quorthon! Whoever made this video must be a fan. Rock On!
what movie is this from I want to watch it! The return one of the best cd's of all time. Quorthon was one of the most diverse and dynamic artists ever.
@8ottantacinque5 LOL, movies? Ok, mainstream movies suck 9/10 times. But there are still tons of fucking GREAT modern movies. And music, outstide the fucking brandead whore mainstream scene.
I really appreciate all the addition of footage from that masterpiece of silent film, Faust to this piece. I couldn't think any other imagery that is more fitting.
Omg never really understood this song, but now it just shone a light, those heartbeats in the beginning to the lyrics, now it all makes sence... Another masterpiece, ordered this CD, hope it arrives soon ^^
This is unbelievable. Major props to whoever put this together. This is way better than most Music Videos. This is the absolutely visual violence of that song!
oh by the way the film, parts, are fucking awesome and much more scarier in parts that many of crappy teen scream horror movies these days, that part of te guy firing up everyting with his crazy nutjob eyes, and the shadow of the demon over the city...fucking brilliant.
ive got alot of respect for Quorthon and Bathory but this would be better if they would talk about the actual Satan spawned from chaos instead of all this hell's master garbage
cause seriously,hell doesnt exist and no satanist believes it does
That depends of your conception of a satanist, because that atheist-hedonist laveyan/crowleyan view of satanism is just one of many views, also are theistic satanism, who actually believe in the existence of Satan/Lucifer or whatever you want to call him,as a liberating entity or an actually pure evil demigod that oppose the good God, they worship because they actually adore evil and all it represents,and believe me that view of satanism is oder that your laveyan or hermetic esoteric satanism.
and our version's roots are older than those who worship the fallen angel satan
we believe the fallen angel hell stuff is a lie...that it was invented that way to make sure satan is villified as evil...we see him as the god of darkness/chaos...spawned from chaos....and were not big fans of lavey...his philosophy is like ours...but what he actually believes satan is is completely wrong
I credit Bathory as beeing the first black metal band. Some say it was Venok since "black metal" is a word combo that started with them, but their music is was'nt black. Bathory were the first to have that real black metal sound, Quorthon was the very first to do the grim shrill vocals thing too as far as I recall.
Exactly, but after awhile Bathory changed from Black Metal to Viking Metal because a bunch of other bands started copying them. You're right though, the black metal movement was started by Quorthon.
