Info:
Bathory's adventures into Viking culture began on 1988's "Blood Fire Death", eschewing scratchy production and the pseudo-Satanic and occult-influenced bashings of the first three albums. Here we see the formula of "Blood Fire Death" fully evolved. Lush acoustic guitars layered with larger-than-life melodies that give such an empowering atmosphere that it's nearly overwhelming. Just listening to this album makes you want to stand on the battlefield with sword in hand, ready to fight whatever life throws at you. The vast choirs give this album the true meaning of "Viking metal". Everything here from the lyrics to the album art is true Norse. The electric guitars are powerful and melodic, often looping in their mid-paced tempos to create an unbreakable and beautiful atmosphere with elaborate solos.
