Requiem is the seventh studio album by Swedish extreme metal band Bathory.

8. Outro

Twilight of the Gods is the sixth studio album by Swedish extreme metal band Bathory. It continues the exploration of the newly created Viking metal style, and also displays heavy epic doom and classical influences; it is titled after an opera by Wagner. It is a mid-tempo, more acoustic album than previous Bathory releases, though it follows on from the Hammerheart album. Of significance is Quorthon‘s total control of the album, playing all electric and acoustic guitar, keyboards, bass, and drum programming. The background vocals are a particular feature of this album, with Quorthon multi-tracking himself, as he did on the Hammerheart album, though this time in a more sophisticated way, sounding like a whole chorus at times. The song entitled Hammerheart is based on a melody from Gustav Holst’s The Planets. Specifically, it is Quorthon‘s own “rearrangement” of the middle section of the fourth movement, Jupiter. Originally this was to be the final Bathory album.

2. Valhalla
3. Baptised in Fire and Ice
4. Father to Son

6. Home of Once Brave
7. One Rode to Asa Bay
8. Outro

Hammerheart is the fifth studio album by Swedish extreme metal band Bathory. It continued the previous album Blood Fire Death‘s transition away from black metal to what became recognized as Viking metal, and is considered a cornerstone work of the genre.

The album, although mostly black metal, includes some of the first examples of Viking metal. According to the book Black Metal: Evolution of the Cult by Dayal Patterson, Blood Fire Death began a second trilogy, an era Quorthon described as the “pre-Christian Swedish Viking Era“.
