BATHORY In Memory Of Quorthon Vol.III (2006) CD

Quorthon died in June 2004 and took an entire cosmology with him. The man essentially invented black metal and Viking metal simultaneously, which is the kind of thing that only happens once.

Vol. III of this posthumous trilogy digs further into the Bathory vault, pulling together material that spans the full arc of what Quorthon built, from the raw Satanic fury of the early records through to the epic Nordic grandeur of Hammerheart and beyond. These compilations aren't cash-grabs, they're documents. A proper reckoning with one of the most influential figures in extreme metal history, put out two years after his passing by a label that understood what had been lost. If you've already worked through the studio albums and want to go deeper, this is where you go.

Standard jewel case CD, released 2006 on Black Mark Production. Import.
