The
legendary Swedish band Bathory were one among a couple of bands who founded
the whole black metal genre in the late 1980's. As if this wasn't enough
they (or he since it is pretty much a one-man band) have been very productive
throughout the years with more than ten album releases. If you haven't been
able to get to know this band before for one reason or another then here is
your chance to do so since Black Mark has decided to release this album simply
called "Katalog" which contains one track from every album. From the early
raw black metal albums throughout the viking metal era and the more
straight-forward sound on latter releases we can follow one of the most
influential metal bands ever. I personally prefer their mid-period albums
"Blood Fire Death" and "Hammerheart" although I have to admit that they
are all full of some very good music. The sound quality is pretty crappy on
most songs and the music itself is not amazing in any way but somehow Bathory
manage to create an atmosphere that no other band has been able to copy. This
is black, this is cult, this is metal.
