The Evolution of Quorthon (1979 to 2004)

I do NOT claim any of the music featured as my own.

[@AleYanok]

Forgot to mention his solo career, Quorthon released three solo albums. One in 1994 (Album), and two in 1997 (When Our Day is Through + Purity Of Essence)

I’m probably the only metal fan that wasn’t a fan of Dimebag. Darrell, due to the fact that I hated Pantera. They always seemed so generic metal. I couldn’t stand them. There was always something fake about Pantera. Besides that, I loved all metal and punk bands.

[@Gruzuck]

@@AleYanok I think it's pretty safe to say now that Bathory actually never played live.

[@SweetTeaConnoisseur]

You may want to fix that last bit of information in the video. Nordland was never intended to be four albums. That's a mere rumor that has been spread as fact for nearly eighteen years now. The only reason it was two in the first place was because in the studio they realized they had nearly two hours of material, so instead of releasing an absurdly long two hour album, they split it up into two. The next Bathory album was, in Quorthon's own words, going to be something "closer to their roots" implying a Death, Black, or possibly Thrash album. You can find the interview he says this in somewhere on KZbin if I remember correctly.

[@thatindiandude4602]
