Bathory - Blood Fire Death (1988)

 Blood Fire Death is a pivotal moment in the evolution of extreme metal—still vicious, but now reaching for something grander. Quorthon blends the feral black/thrash assault of earlier albums with sweeping, almost cinematic passages that lay the foundation for Viking metal. It’s a strange and powerful hybrid—violent yet majestic, rooted in mythology and apocalypse. Epic as fuck, if I may say so. 

2014 Swedish repress from Black Mark Production.
