BATHORY

Release Year: 2021
Artist Origin: SWE
Style: agressive viking thrash black metal

when Quorthon has returned for a new era in second part of the nineties, it was not long before the need arose for the third part of jubilee Bathory compilation [1998], brimming with earlier unreleased material once again - the most intriguing is certainly In Nomine Satanas, recorded back in 1987, that has later turned into epic highlight of 1991's longplay re-titled into Bond of Blood; two more tracks are taken from archival 1984's demo tape, adding couple of unpublished tunes from 1995's session, while the rest of recordings come from other nineties' disks, so it is full range of stylistic variety here, compositionally the quality differs either, ranging from raw, primitive black metal to more mature, atmospheric and epic ambitions, but you cannot take the scope and zeal from this cult project; recent double black vinyl edition comes with a pro-printed lyric insert
