Emperor - A Fine Day To Die (A Tribute to Bathory)

[Fenris971]

Probably the best black metal cover ever made.

[UpsidedownHandshake]

Emperor and Bathory are the best Black metal bands in my opinion

[guigotorres]

maybe...

[joserpm]

@UpsidedownHandshake Agreed, but may I add 2 more to the list: Dimmu Borgir and early Celtic Frost.

[DruidIrl]

@joserpm

Dimmu Burger - no

Celtic Frost - yes

[countessbenno]

good cover

[icyfire011]

great cover, the only problem I had was that the solo guitar wasn't loud enough

[abacklashishere]

@icyfire011

Agreed

[DanishHeadbanger]

Exellent tribute album! I'm just so sad Quorthon died.../:

[Bakazuraz]

Pretty good cover, in fact, all the covers from this tribute album seem to be amazingly good. Though nothing compares to Quorthon's first scream on this track; it's so epic that it sends chills down my back.

[bassmasta257]

one of the best intros ever

[krimsatan]

Odens Ride Over Nordland and then A Fine Day to Die as one song is the best song ever made.

[hardcoresk8ters]

i love the tribute album

[Tweenythepriest]

What a vocal in this version... I'm amazed really... Not as good as Bathory (ofcourse!) but still some of the best music I've heard. Great cover, this song is one of the best asskicking songs on the best asskicking CD ever written. And the second solo is the best made by Quorthon imho :).

[turgore]

i like this

[EvighetensLand]

Very good tribute album indeed

[Simpson654]

Emperor might have gotten "some" of their influences from Bathory's Blood Fire Death. :)

[Mitsuraga]

@Simpson654

Clearly.

[BSODslayer]

I had my eyes closed for black metal until I heard this - DAMN this is good!

Is Emperor like this in their own material, or?

[biqueiradas]

Not like this. The old Emperor albums are really good!

[ikem555]

yeah I agree with you dude!

[bassmasta257]

and this isnt???????????

[SvitjodsKrigare]

This might be a late reply, But this song is only a cover to Bathory.

And this was when Bathory started to make Viking Metal.

[ninjacowsattack]

@BSODslayer Try Emperor's Anthems To the Welkin At Dusk. It's fucking KILLER

[Mitsuraga]

@BSODslayer

You should hear the original, but I figure by a year, you would have.

[PompaTG]

And "In conspiracy with satan" is a pretty darn good tribute album.

[wiker666]

good cover

[Asleeaslee]

Maybe the best black metal band there is, and clearly the best melodic black metal band.

emperor kick some serious fuckin asses
