"Bathory" on CD by Bathory, released by Black Market, is a cornerstone of extreme metal and a defining blueprint for the development of both black metal and Viking metal. This edition delivers the raw, primitive sound and dark atmosphere that made the early Bathory recordings so influential, presented in durable CD format with clear, powerful audio.

The packaging by Black Market focuses on a stark, cult aesthetic that underscores the music's uncompromising character while offering a solid, reliable pressing for long-term enjoyment.
Bathory, founded by the enigmatic Quorthon in Sweden, are widely regarded as one of the pioneering forces of first-wave black metal. Known for their harsh sound, fast tempos and occult-themed lyrics in the early years, Bathory later evolved toward epic, atmospheric Viking metal, becoming a key reference point for both styles. The band's legacy lies in their groundbreaking role in defining the sonic and visual vocabulary of extreme metal, exerting a strong influence on later Scandinavian scenes and beyond. Even decades after its initial impact, Bathory's work remains a benchmark for authenticity, intensity and visionary creativity in heavy music.
Black Market, as the manufacturer of this CD, is associated with specialized underground and niche releases, focusing on titles that have a strong cult following.

Did T.B. Forsberg that his daring experiments will have such a significant impact on the minds of metalheads around the world ...
