Does anyone else ever think did Boss ask Quorthon
"Are ya sure you don't want to do another take on that vocal there-you're a biteen flat I think? It'd be no harm like?"

 :laugh: I was listening to Twilight of the Gods recently, and as much as I love the album, it's hard to believe they were the best vocal takes. The caterwauling on Hammerheart in particular is painful to listen to, but then again it wouldn't be the same album with a competent singer.

Had that on one evening when I was cooking and my missus was like "was he drunk recording this?"

Gotta love his tuneless vocals. They just somehow work.

As a rule I tend to operate on the basis that Bathory didn't release anymore albums after "BFD". This thread inspired me to have a spin through the other albums and fuck me, his vocals are painful throughout.

However, the singing on "Hammerheart" isn't as unforgivable as the fact that "Requiem" exists. For an established artist to have put out an album  with that poor quality of songwriting and production is kind of incredible.

Had he lived :Quorthon discovers autotune!

Oh you're going to love this...

I prefer the few albums from Blood Fire Death to Requiem, plus the Nordland albums, to the first three (I haven't heard Octagon, Blood On Ice or Destroyer) and Requiem is my favourite Bathory album. It's rough as fuck and the drum machine is as ropey as it gets but I love it nonetheless.

Browsing Graveland's Big Cartel and up pops a Rob Darken chat button saying, "Hail, how can I help?"  :laugh:

Hail Rob. The missus would love an Hour of Ragnarok flag for Christmas. Any oul deals on?
