Lol, never thought I'd see another bm fan up in here...
I posted twilight of the gods because it's more tolerable to people who never heard this type of music...
Dude, blood fire death is my fav bathory album... that was basically his end album of making bm and moved on to "Viking metal" with the next one hammerheart...
Imo, his self titled '84 album is what started the bm genre..along with tom g warriors, hellhammer...bathory's first three albums are def pure bm... the fourth one, blood fire death, you can tell that he was heading towards another direction...
Good to know there's another bm fan in here
I remember all that. I am not a huge BM fan, but my favorites nowadays are Immortal (best for me all time), Melechesh and I know, Satyricon. At the Heat of Winter is an epic album for Immortal fans. But for me, the EP "In the sign of Evil" by Sodom (1984) has some of the earliest BM roots to me even though it had more low end bassy sound. Honorable mention is Venom's "At War with Satan." Haha. Of course, I dig early Darkthrone even their first album Soulside Journey. As a Music freak I do check out the new stuff coming out like Urgehal, Herder and got the new Watain. But, I am also into Blues, Rock, Reggae, Grunge, Country, Rap, DM and a slew of other genres.
It is not about the lyrics, fellow RealGMers, it is about stretching the boundaries of music.I have written, recorded or produced about all styles of music outside of Reggae and Gospel which I have ideas to put down on someday.
