Legend has it that if you play "Bathory" on a sunny day, Quorthon rises from the grave, rapes three virgins, burns down at least one church, turns the volume knob up by 16dB whilst you're not watching, and tells the sun to "Fuck right off!"

[@billk9799]

Nowhere near as technical and complex as Chuck BUT dude, Quorthon was a galaxy of his own

[@adamkwiecien5489]

@@billk9799 Technicality isn't always a good thing. Chuck focused on technics after "Leprosy" and lost the art of music from his view, while Quorthon was developing as an artist. Unfortunately, Chuck tried to reach Andy LaRocque's technical skills and that was his mistake. And I don't think that Chuck could come up with acoustic guitars like Quorthon did. That's why I consider Quorthon a better musician than Chuck, especially that Quorthon wasn't afraid of playing other genres, like on solo albums.

[@billk9799]

@@adamkwiecien5489 I hear you, that's exactly why I said ''Quorthon was a galaxy of his own'' and trust me, I'm the first who doesn't like ''virtuosos'' but Chuck's ideas were marvels, especially for a self taught player. Then again, it's unfair to compare them as they both were very gifted individuals, with different approaches, on different ''genres'', giving us, mortals, masterpieces.

[@CommanderSp00ky]

​@@adamkwiecien5489 I wouldn't say Chuck lost it right after Leprosy, I just don't really like TSOP. And maybe I'm not a huge fan of Symbolic. But I am most definitely digging all the albums until ITP EXCEPT Spiritual Healing, in my opinion that is Death's worst, or atleast, most boring album.

Lyrics Orgy of silence Conspiracy of peace Only the sound Of the cold northern breeze Twinsun sink fading Behind the black lake Asleep is the mountains Yet the night is awake Strange is the night Now black stars rise And many moons circle Through silent the night Along the black mountainside scattered By the campfires awaiting the dawn Two times a hundred men in battles Tried by the steel in the arrow, axe, and the sword By battle worn hunger torn awaitening For the sun to break through the cold haze And for the banners of Ebal to appear On the hill in the suns first warm rays The elder among the men looked deep into The fire and spoke loud with pride Tomorrow is a fine day to die Now the morning advance from far east Now the sun breaks through dustclouds and haze Now a forest of spears appears on the hill And steel shines bright in the suns first rays Die Die Die Die

[@adrianaslund8605]

2:40 Ive always liked the menacing sort of subtle riffing in this part. Later there is also a little harmony hidden in the mix when the verse riff hits. Its barely audible but once you hear it every cover of this song that lacks it feels incomplete. Then there's the rythmical gallop riff part which has this feeling of the pulse of the song quickening. Which is something you almost never hear in music. Its hard to tell if its intentional but for me it makes the music feel very organic and alive. Unhinged. Its an ecstatic berserker rage in music form. And Quorthon's lyrics are actually pretty intelligent. It reminds me of an extremely pissed off William Blake. Edit: "actually pretty intelligent" because i generally don't have high expectations on metal lyrics. When listening to power metal for example its better to just ignore them.

[@Havyng25]

It's ok dude. Metal isn't know for smart lyrics. Most is always about the riffs primarily. I do agree, this one is absolutely fantastic.
