Bathory’s self-titled debut is widely regarded as a foundational work in the development of black metal. With its raw production, chaotic guitar riffs, and harsh, reverb-drenched vocals from mastermind Quorthon, the album established a stark contrast to the more polished metal of the time. Absolutely influenced by bands like Venom and Motörhead, the act defined the kvlt vibes of the eventual black metal scene that would soon emerge. Essential listening.
2014 UK/EU reissue from Black Mark.
