I am lucky to have been around back when BATHORY came out and have all their first records. I am 60 years old and BATHORY will remain the best band ever. When I die I hope to meet Tomas!
im 39 heard all of it, but was a Child when this masterpiece came to life, nothing but respect for Quorthon and the crew (including his father). Hope to visit his hometown and country soon in 2025/26 absolutely love the nordic black metal bands of the olden days. Sleep well my friend.
Must agree there \m/ was born at right time, as a teen (first wet dream hearing them) my cousin came back from Greece with a bootleg copy back to Australia. I called a few friends in Europe to find them (actual releases) until they retailed in Melbourne Australia \m/ 52 and still returning to bang
i have just saw my 57 birthday and this music is still the best,the birth of true music,glad you are still enjoying it,yes BATHORY has just got better as we get older,i am glad to find another fellow person who loves this as well as i do,i have been into this from the very early days,my fav album is BLOOD FIRE DEATH.
Now, nearly 53 year old, still cannot believe, how awesome is this music - just as when I first heard it back in the 1980s. Black metal, as we know today, started with Bathory. And also Viking metal! Blood chilling, majestic, pure evil and solitude :)
No it didn’t started with venom and bathory hellhamer early kreator amongst other advanced it so don’t talk shite I was there at all of this also sodom even early coroner
Quorthon and Boss. A master instrumentalist and his father producing and recording epic atmospheres like nobody else of the early Scandinavian black metal scene ever could! It's too bad they're no longer with us, however.
If you haven't followed along reading the lyrics, you need to. The last bit where it says "I stand at the jaws of the pit, the heat scorch my flesh...." is sooo intense.
Greatest Black Metal album in history . Not the most Demonic but Grandmaster piece and the most important it was more evil than Morbid Angel in the 80's . The scandinavians have the Metal inside their veins . Don't start fighting among Sarcófago , Vulcano, Hadez or Mayhem . Bathory created their own sound . Bathory was demonic many years before other bands tried to sound evil . Bathory's music is not a shiteton level . Bathory music creates an spiritual journey .

@@FTW_666 i'd like to throw in FLAMES OF HELL "fire and steel" from iceland (1987). It is said that only 50-100 copies were ever pressed and i do know that some copies switched places for 3000€+, making it one of the most unique and obscure extreme metal lps ever. It may not be extreme as UTSOTBM, but anyways, it's evil as fuck (also the background story is one hell of an obscurity). 😎
My favourite track from this album is Woman of dark desires. This track depends on the individual you know? I mean for me it ain't just Black Metal but also something else. If you have an open mind, well, just let your imagination run wild!!
It was recorded in the middle 80s. How the fuck it is that even possible??? Riffs, tempos, lyrics, cover, artwork everything is ahead of its time and perfect. Satanic Black Metal Rules Supreme!!! Hail.
In my opinion as a teenager of the 80s and for what came later, with this album Bathory reached its maximum musical expression of transition from Black to Thrash Metal. R.I.P. Quorthon for this Masterpiece.
Although their debut album is its greatest classic and also my favorite of the band, Under The Sign Of The Black Mark is Bathory at its best in terms of maturity and musical excellence. Classic!
Wow, been listening to their/his albums for the first time, and it just gets better and better, this will become one of my favorite metal albums ever, fantastic band
Worth tracking down vinyl rips from the original pressings of this album because you can hear on this recording that side one has issues with the treble fading in and out in a weird way. The master tape has been damaged somewhere over the years. The original vinyl pressings sound way better than any online or cd source.
A fitspiration Bathory album,many bands around the globe have been drunk straighten from this precious monumental metallic testament.And it's not being only a dark surrogate womb for black metal,but represents all laid foundation aiming to other sub-genres more extreme and obscury in heavy metal.
"Enter The Eternal Fire" will forever be the best Black Metal song of all times for me. This synth line that goes into the solo is absolutely unreal. After all these years i still get goosebumbs every single time i hear this song. Nothing in modern Black Metal can touch this album.
My best friend tell me to bying this album on cassete 1990..can imagine after first song...my reaction..btw power metal fan then.. surprising for me but damn GOOD ALBUM..BRILIANT AND WHOLE ALBUM IS MASTERPIECE..BATHORY FAN FOREVER
Yes,and want to not bying but friend,,you will not regret,,and use..song Enter the Eternal fire is favorite song,and hear how power metal fan's not love so much black metal..early black metal bands like Bathory...
This is without question the greatest black metal album ever made! It definitely inspired a strong rivalry between the Swedish and Norwegian black metal scenes some years after the magnum opus was released!
Black metal pioneers "Querthon " still lives and "Bathory"is a true vital influence to how black metal sounds 2day. Two horns up to "Querthon" /'Bathory' And big 6⁹6 hails: 🇱🇷🔱🤘👿🤘🔱🇱🇷
I love the Scour cover of Massacre. It really brings to life the true recording quality of the writing. However, you cannot beat the true, timely, recording process taken with this record. I just wish Quorthon had lived long enough to revisit some of this music.
Oh my Master! Thomas Börje Forsberg was an epoch-making musician... with a band that basically never existed... He created and launched Black Metal with his first three LPs recorded in a garage, he actually wrote and played the songs alone, because the band members were only on the album cover indicated. "Ace" was a genius full of wild ideas, but at the same time he was one of the world's greatest illusionists. Rest in Peace!
No he didn’t venom did bathory was a band I looked for at time there first album venom clone as was slayers earlier stuff this album though was different to all before 👍
This is what i'd consider to be the first full black metal album, sure there were small splashes of bands that had a sound close, helped to form the sound, but this is the first album to have the full thing.

This was the first Bathory album I ever bought, back in 1996. I still listen to it often, and wear my "Under the Sign of the Black Mark" t-shirt regularly (LOL, and my vegan parody t-shirt of that shirt). Fenriz from Darkthrone always praises this album very highly, and I have to agree with him. \m/
@@draakanaon6236 Agreed, Bathory rules. Quorthon helped to launch TWO metal genres (first wave black metal, and Viking metal); I wish he could have lived long enough to complete his Nordland tetralogy of albums, but I'll always be thankful for all the cool recordings he did release while alive.
@@johnholton8157 I agree with you. In this album some vibes reminds me Samhain (With Glenn Danzig). I really appreciate guitar sound, we can feel a special vibe, atmosphere and connexion. It's not easy to bring something new when you're a composer. Create a brand new genre.
Equimanthorn & 13 candles became my introduction to him! From Gummo & this crazy video game footage i saw with fhe 13 playing on it! But of course GTA: The lost & the damned gave me the key & lock after Call from the Grave!
I've been into Bathory since 1985; 1st love never dies, as the Walker Bros sang, so The RETURN of Darkness and Evil , as the first thing i listened to by this Swedish ''group'', remains my favourite to this day, but this one here, i see it more like a detailed depuration of the 2nd album. I guess Quorthon intended a step back on the final ''effect'' of the Return's acceptable studio sound production (though that was a very heavy and black record) - UTSOTBM seems to me more stylistically archaic, apparently more necro sounding, more XVIIth century, which is a concept difficult to translate, iykwim. And another thing - i think BloodFireDeath is wrongly pushed into the Viking thing solely because of a gatefold sleeve and an Old Spice intro.
Enter the Eternal fire was first song i ever heard from Bathory ...... Somehow this album has such a Melodic pace to its sonic assault. Somehow its quite musical.
The best Black Metal album 🤘🏻💀
The first wave peaks right here. Most ideas for the second wave in Norway comes from this very album.
What about Tormentor? They were late in the game for sure for the First Wave BM but still had their own original sound
I agree
This one definitely influenced a fuckton of metal bands. From Metallica to Mayhem.
This whole album reminds me of my youth, good times ⚔️
