Bathory - Nordland I[views:5943][posts:14]____________________________________ [Oct 31,2007 5:03pm - BornSoVile ""] scored this last night. I'm missing most of the catalog from Hammerheart on through Nordland I. I'm actually kinda more partial to the more epic style of songwriting on Nordland I and Hammerheart versus the early albums. Nonetheless, Blood Fire Death is a total masterpiece. I dunno, random Bathory chat I guess. What should I go for next? I'll probably go with Nordland II regardless but if I have to choose between these, gimme your thoughts! Twilight of the Gods Requiem Octagon Blood on Ice Destroyer of Worlds |

The Nordland albums are, to me, Bathory's best as far as the epic/viking stuff goes, with Hammerheart right behind them. Personally I am more partial to the early Bathory albums, mainly because of the raw, gritty thrashing style and cheesy Satanic lyrics - I have to be in the right mood for the epic stuff, I'm normally more apt to play the early thrash albums. |

| ________________________________ [Nov 1,2007 12:23am - NIGGER ""] DESTROYER OF WORLDS IS SHIT |
| __________________________________ [Nov 1,2007 1:47am - yggvidrir ""] I agree with Mr. Nigger. Destroyer of Worlds is shit. Requiem is a bit of a stretch for me, too. |

| ____________________________________ [Jan 14,2011 11:37am - Slag NLI ""] The song "Ring of Gold" gets me everytime. |
| _____________________________________ [Jan 14,2011 11:38am - arilliusbm ""] It's about his cock ring. |
| _____________________________________ [Jan 14,2011 11:43am - Slag NLI ""] It will get me harder knowing this. |
| __________________________________________ [Jan 14,2011 12:41pm - ancient master ""] i like foreverdark woods off Nordland I |
| ______________________________ [Jan 14,2011 1:00pm - BSV ""] foreverdark woods has one of the sickest horse riding ride bys ever recorded and panned in stero. So, verdict after a few years from this thread being made: TWILIGHT OF THE GODS is my personal favorite. It holds up so fucking well for me. |
