20 years ago I heard this and fell in love.I always used my walkman to feel this incredible atmosphere.Quorthon is god, years ago when I read of his death got depressed about it for months...
Many of us in Lombardy-nation (which is not Italy) grew up with Quorthon at the time these albums were published. Criticism to the quality of production is unuseful: just consider the SOLO! after FIRE!!!
I first got this album in '91 just before we shipped out to Iraq for Desert Shield/Storm. We listened to this CD for 96 hours straight while we were on the attack. The next time I played this CD for combat was 2003 for my second tour in Iraq. When you need to be psyched up for war I highly recommend this album. R.I.P. Quorthon!!
bathorys best song, the lyrics are incredibly well written and intensive, the progression of this song is most intelligently built up with its peak at the solo. i really can feel the ocean foam in my face while listining to this song, there is no viking metal album than can build up such an atmosphere, if someone knows one, please tell me!!!!
@Chunkydude1973 whoa, chill the fuck mate cuz ur acting like a weekend warrior ya self. black metal for me is like a bastard child of thrash and crust punk but I personally don't give a flyin' fuck 'bout genres. grow up old man.
@tsruhet86 yah the only reason i posted this is cuz i listened to a couple of manowar's norse mythology themed songs and felt like i need some real shit to clear my ears :)
Outside in my country we have a hard winter since the 29 november! wind, ice, snow, etc...so cold that I like to listen the musique of Bathory /Quorton with my MP3,
and the cold have few effect !, I feeling a little bit what feel the real vikings durring nord winter!...
Be carfully on the road guys !stay home if you can.
i truly love the game. i play the game each night with my uncle and we destroy everyone. we're pretty good but that's because we obtained a completely new gaming mouse with all the money we saved as a result of grabbing the full game from mw2forfreeUinfo (replace U with .) rather than buying it
Quorthon's 'acoustic' guitar was unusual for it's folk elements. I used to play themes from Twilight of the gods and Blood on Ice. Shores intro i consider the best of Bathory. Exept Ravens maybe.
whats everyones most liked weapon? i really like the rpg personally. it's so easy for you to wipe out almost everyone with it! my roommate calls me a noobie for using the gun however who cares. i'm somewhat new i suppose! yet at the least i didnt be forced to pay for the game. i down loaded it at no cost by mw2forfreeZinfo (replace Z with . ) this week
Awesome song even to this day.This was my tanks theme song during Desert Storm. I was pissed off to the max when my wife sold it and 3/4 of my cd collection when I went to Iraq again in 2003.
@gunnergrunt69 what a song for you to choose I salute you. Ypu and your crew understand war if you listened to bathory. I wish you well in your journey home
This is Bathory's most beautiful song... very meaningful and amazing introduction, then it gets a little more intense and harder as the song progresses. Hail Bathory, and I praise Quorthon for the amazing musician that he was.
I grow up with Bathory songs, and now I have 38 years old, and his music EVER make me feel Young!!!!. THis great song was played when Quorthon enter to Valhalla!!!!!!!!. WE NEVER FORGET YOU!!!!!!!.
Me too Mocosnegros I was like 19 when the album came out with this track on it. Its still one of my fave all time songs and I'm not into death metal so much now...Bathory where a class and another above all of the others...in my heart they will be timeless. I'll be 80 years old and playing them on my dusty record player to my great nieces and nephews
When I first started listening to Bathory I was more facinated about the metal stuff he made and didn't care too much about the vikings and stuff. Now the tables are turned completely. I say that this shit over here is the real deal, now and forever!
If outer space aliens invaded and asked to listen to only one song before deciding to wipe out our race, this would be the song to play them. This song is proof that humans are worthy of life, because one of them was able to make a song like this.
This is a beautiful song but also a very sad one for me.
They come to a new place and destroy it!
It's strange that your comment got so much support, because in a situation that you are describing, the aliens will definitely leave OUR shores in flames..
I don't anyone could ever put it as aptly as you have, this song, in fact the whole album is beyond anything legendary could ever describe, pretty much my all time favourite album.
@AngryAaron69 fuck no! the truth is that the human race play songs like that cause it is a weapon against aliens and the alien invaders who hear any metal get destroyd in 100k mile radius
"Though the gates that stand between the mortal world and the immortal Realm of Chaos are now closed to me, still I would rather die having glimpsed eternity than never to have stirred from the cold furrow of mortal life. I embrace death without regret as I embraced life without fear."
I removed the seconds of silence, that's all. YouTube doesn't support videos that break the limit of 11:00, so I had to do it in order to get the track uploaded.
