Bathory - The Return... (Reissue)
Description
STUNNING LIMITED EDITION PICTURE DISC REISSUE OF BATHORYS SECOND ALBUM.
Recorded and mixed in February, 1985, at Elektra Studio, Stockholm, Sweden. There were a handful of bands that influenced the birth of Scandinavian black metal (frequently referred to as the Second Wave of Black Metal), but few are worshipped as faithfully as Sweden's Bathory. Formed in 1983 and led (and most instrumentation provided) by Quorthon (Thomas Forsberg), their first four albums laid the groundwork for black metal's sonic aesthetics: lo-fi production, heavy distortion, trebly and abrasive tone, rapid-fire tempo, and raspy, barking vocals. The Return of Darkness And...captures a dark occult satanic atmosphere in a very rare way. This is dark and evil in a convincing way with Quorthons trademark demonic vocals.
Tracklist:
Side A
1. Revelation Of Doom
2. Total Destruction
3. Born For Burning
4. The Wind Of Mayhem
5. Bestial Lust
6. Possessed
Side B
7. The Rite Of Darkness
8. Reap Of Evil
9. Son Of The Damned
10. Sadist
11. The Return Of The Darkness And Evil
12. Outro
