Today's the first time I listened to this and I have to say that it's one of the most unusual metal songs I have ever heard and will now on be one of my favorite songs of all time.
@icankillbugs And before I had only heard black metal songs from Bathory and I was surprised that this song was made by them.. Also there are only a few other metal songs that have made me felt emotional, for example Windir - Journey to The End and Wintersun - Death and The Healing
Lyrics One man rode the way through the woods Down to Asa bay Where dragon ships had sailed to sea More times than one could say To see with own eyes the wonder People told of from man to man The God of all almightyness Had arrived from a foreign land The rumors told of a man Who had come from the other side the seas Carrying gold cross around neck in chain And spoke in strange tongue of peace He had come with strange men in armor Dressed in purple shirts and lace Smelling not of beer but flowers And with no hair in face And the bold man carrying cross Had told all one of Asa bay The God of all man woman child had come To them all save And to thank Lord of Heaven One should build to God a house And to save one's soul from Hell One should be baptized and say vows A man of pride with the Hammer told new God To build his house on own And spoke loud of the Gods of their fathers Not too long time gone The rumors said the man with a beard like fire And the Hammer in chain By men in armor silenced was and by Their swords was slain Those who did not pay the one coin Of four to man of new God Whipped was twenty and put in chains then locked By their neck to the log (To the log) And so all of Asa bay did build A house of the cross Every hour of daylight they did sweat Limbs ached because faith does cost And on the day two hundred There it stood white to the sky The house of the God of the cross Big enough to take two dragon ships inside And all of Asa bay did watch The wonder raise to the sky Now must the God of the cross be pleased And satisfied Just outside the circle of the crowd One old man did stand He looked across the waters And blotted the sun out of his eyes with one hand And his old eyes could almost see The dragon ships set sail And his old ears could almost hear Men of great numbers call out Oden's hail And though he did know already Though he turned face towards sky And whispered silent words forgotten Spoken only way up high Now this house of a foreign God does stand Now must they leave us alone Still he heard from somewhere in the woods Old crow of wisdom say People of Asa land, it's only just begun
Maybe it's because the song is about the demise of the traditional Nordic, figuratively speaking, European culture and its replacement by the Abrahamic Plague, and our heathen souls simply feel it.
Quorthon dedicated the song One Rode to Asa Bay, about the christianization of Scandinavia, to C. Dean Andersson, who had earlier sent some of his books to Quorthon. The village's name in the song, Asa Bay, comes from pseudonym Asa Drake which Andersson used in some of his books.
@@themorningnevercame8618 Two separate things The Inquisition was led by Spain and was mostly a thing in Hispanic America and Spain itself and the last Catholic nations of Europe, by that time the North was already protestant Pagan North was a couple centuries in the past already
One of the biggest legends in metal. Pioneered not just one but two genres, and absolutely perfected viking metal. In spite of that, Bathory and Quorthon is unbelievably underrated and rarely mention in the same effect as other musicians in metal who's had much less of an impact because they were more commercial. R.I.P. master. I remember when you passed. It tore my little heart apart.
i have never heard a musician who has achieved so much with little. i mean - the guitars are cheap, the bass is cheap, the drumcomputer is cheap and he only hits sometimes the right tone with his vocals. but... all together his work, not only this song, is unique! this guy was a genius! RIP Quorthon, i love you...
This song has so much history that is important to remember. It is also beautiful. I don't care what anyone says, no one could master these vocals like Quorthon. I'm sorry we lost him so early.
@@euronymous2487 I would always take a recommendation from you, Euronymous. I listened and liked. I also found metal versions of Lord of the Rings songs and the Emperor's Theme from Return of the Jedi. They paired well.
*-To be honest, after almost 20 years of his departure and generating that impact on Metal, hearing this Great Song still makes my hair stand on end because of the lyrics, the story and the that guitar solo that in my opinion is one of the most underrated, rest in peace master your legacy will persist forever.*
Man... Every time I hear this song, it makes tears come to my eyes... Damn... Quorthon was and continues to be one of the greatest Geniuses in Black Metal, and even in music... I'm Brazilian, and from here I send greetings to all Nordic brothers!!!
I am proud to know that there are people in this world who have a heightened sensitivity and truly live this music, and are truly engulfed by this music.@@LordArquimes
It's an immense honor for me to read your comment, this song really expresses an emotion in an inexplicable way, everything about it, Quorthon's voice, the drums being played in an overwhelming way, the guitars, the destroying double bass, the organ generating a feeling of Gregorian music, all of this combined with the lyrics of the song, which tells a story in a poetic way, makes us feel touched by it, by the message it emits... Still the video bringing all this to light... The clip was very well done, for me it's one of the best clips ever made, if not the best, which is totally in line with the lyrics of the song, man, that's amazing, it only took a genius to achieve that...And Quorthon, It was this genius... There are some idiots who criticize Black Metal, and in turn even Viking Metal, which has its roots in Black, but there is the answer for these people, that Black Metal is simply FORMIDABLE. I'm sorry that my words were long, I'm also immensely honored to know that you are also the person who has such sensitivity emitted by this song, rest assured, there are more people like us, and that also makes me immensely grateful!!! Hail my Brother!!!
@@LordArquimes Everything is fine, and for me it is a real honor to read your comment and to think that there are people who have such an increased sensitivity, hail my brother!
who did you donate to? maybe his father? who runs this channel? is it just an automatically generated channel? Edit: His father, Boss, who was also his producer and i think made the In Memory Of Quorthon albums died in 2017. So it's not him.
@@thephoenixking3242 Hello from Czech, Look, find out, Qurthon's memory must be kept alive, it's part of getting to know Thomas better - and I'm forever in his debt, his music and words saved my life so many times when I was really bad and lying in the hospital hooked up to machines and I had a tube in my throat and the machines were breathing for me, this is the way to Asa Bay. Rushing into battle every day, with Bathory's music at full volume !
Masterpiece...🤘🏻💪🏻 First wave of Black Metal, inventor of Viking Metal... Hail Quorthorn, Hail Bathory 👊🏻 I still have goosebumps everytime I listen to that great song. I may be old now. But I still know about the best Musik 😁 High up the horns 🤘🏻
This one man was so big influence for all the metal genres back in the days, still one of the best bands in metal. Bathory is the greatest, Hail Quorthon!!!
We all sounded like that with our cheap guitars , our four track recorders and our Boss drum computers. I'll never get why he got famous and all others were forgotten, while they all sounded the same: Great vision, great feel, very creative, a lot of talent, no sound, no equip, no hope, no money, loads of booze and last but not least, no singer. I miss those times. The hopelessness felt more romantic back then.

Isso é uma obra de arte absoluta do Heavy Metal. Quorthon era um musicista muito acima da média, ainda mais para o gênero que ele cantava. Que vocal lindo, que instrumental bem trabalhada, que atmosfera épica e fria como o inverno. Uma pena esse gênio ter nos deixado.
together with evil Chuck schuldiner they are the biggest legends and true geniuses that died way too young they will never be forgotten hail too quorthon and Chuck schuldiner
@@AFXSnares why is that they are both true legends and geniuses in there own right that's what i ment in my reaction so i still don't see why that's disrespectful comparing Chuck whit quorthon they are both true and legendary musicians it don't have any thing to do with disrespect i respect both geniuses equally they made both great music and death and bathory together with hellhammer are my most favorite bands in the world
@Cultöerectus Schuldiner is a German-Jewish name. Obviously. As if Chuck's religious background even mattered. There are a ton of Jews in hard rock and metal bands including Rush, Anvil, Kiss, Van Halen, Manowar, Testament, Aerosmith, Warlord, Type O Negative, Anthrax, Nuclear Assault, Megadeth, Dream Theater, Blue Oyster Cult, Disturbed, Killswitch Engage, The Dillinger Escape Plan, etc..
i remember when the first album was released, I read a review that said: "This is what it would sound like if a 747 landed in your living room". I rushed out and bought it as soon as I could.
Mr. Quorton was one of the Best from Scandic metal music players, never heard about conflict, burning churches, just loved czech beer, good people and his music and vocals are still one of the Best, love Blood Fire Death album
On this day (March 16th 2023) Bathory turns 40 years old, crazy. Quorthon within just 20 years created 4 masterful Black Metal albums, 5 masterful Viking Metal albums and another 5 other albums not successful but good i'd say (2 Thrash, 1 Viking/Thrash mix and 2 Alternative solo albums) and that's not even all, dude allegedly recorded many classical tracks from 1999 to 2000 but scrapped due to not sounding like Bathory and planned on some Gothic Metal material with his sister as well as a return to Black Metal in 2004 but died of a heart attack in june tragically, one last thing to say is that i read about plans of 80s demos to be compiled on a boxed set but that hasn't happened unfortunately. Rest in Peace, Thomas Börje Forsberg, Most passionate metal artist i have ever seen.
Quorton você e uma obra prima não e possivel que alguem fale mal de você , quorton você tem um lindo talento você e tipo o rei do black metal você merece o trono do melhor black metal que ja existiu nessa terra to falando serio você e muito brilhante lindo incrivel fofo gato carismatico simpatico leal esperto inteligente top muito bom quorton descanse eternamente para que quando você reencarnar você salve a geração !!
Not my younger brother showing me Bathory years ago when he was like 14 ?! The fact that I’m the one who got him into metal music !! and it was the best discovery ever !
Listening to this in my conservatory. Radiator's on. Mild Winter in the heart of England. I dream of snow. I have seen it, have even touched it. But was many years ago when i was in the Continental heathen lands. :) My brother bought a couple of Bathory records in the 90's. One Rode To Asa Bay was most played.
One of the best clips ever and a song first time listened in 14 years and still love it ... I want would go to Asa bay right away .... Hail Quorthon in Valhalla, we will carry on your legacy. R.I.P. Your music is timeless, the BEST!
@@pavlolakhmanyuk7920 Yes, its true, never let the stop us, government, ...anything, anybody.......we will fight on ! Hi from Czech , wish you luck and fingers cross for You !
Can't believe he's been gone for nearly 20 years man
Drugs and Alcohol ruined his health and life 😢
He died a month before I was born, and I'm very thankful for the music he made.
Yes...big loss. What could have been.
@@RomanZ-zy1ef He died of a congenital heart defect.
@@konstantinathanasiou2227 that's really sad so many famous names died young due to drugs alcohol and fame
Today's the first time I listened to this and I have to say that it's one of the most unusual metal songs I have ever heard and will now on be one of my favorite songs of all time.
@icankillbugs ofc im into metal, what i meant is that it's very unique and comparing it to other metal songs, it sounds quite unusual

I didn't hear in 90-91 what I hear today, my friend was really into bathory, I was listening to different stuff. Love it now
Royal song, real luxury in metal form. Unrepeatable.
Unusual?
The progression of Bathory is one of a kind. I favor their black metal days, but man this song is pure.
the first of this kind...

Fuck yes
The lyricism of this song alone explains why Quorthon was an absolute genius that left our world too early.
Why did he sing in English though
@@tobiasbradley7229 To gather a wider audience.
Only BATHORY's music can truly transport us to the Viking age
Lyrics
One man rode the way through the woods
Down to Asa bay
Where dragon ships had sailed to sea
More times than one could say
To see with own eyes the wonder
People told of from man to man
The God of all almightyness
Had arrived from a foreign land
The rumors told of a man
Who had come from the other side the seas
Carrying gold cross around neck in chain
And spoke in strange tongue of peace
He had come with strange men in armor
Dressed in purple shirts and lace
Smelling not of beer but flowers
And with no hair in face
And the bold man carrying cross
Had told all one of Asa bay
The God of all man woman child had come
To them all save
And to thank Lord of Heaven
One should build to God a house
And to save one's soul from Hell
One should be baptized and say vows
A man of pride with the Hammer told new God
To build his house on own
And spoke loud of the Gods of their fathers
Not too long time gone
The rumors said the man with a beard like fire
And the Hammer in chain
By men in armor silenced was and by
Their swords was slain
Those who did not pay the one coin
Of four to man of new God
Whipped was twenty and put in chains then locked
By their neck to the log (To the log)
And so all of Asa bay did build
A house of the cross
Every hour of daylight they did sweat
Limbs ached because faith does cost
And on the day two hundred
There it stood white to the sky
The house of the God of the cross
Big enough to take two dragon ships inside
And all of Asa bay did watch
The wonder raise to the sky
Now must the God of the cross be pleased
And satisfied
Just outside the circle of the crowd
One old man did stand
He looked across the waters
And blotted the sun out of his eyes with one hand
And his old eyes could almost see
The dragon ships set sail
And his old ears could almost hear
Men of great numbers call out Oden's hail
And though he did know already
Though he turned face towards sky
And whispered silent words forgotten
Spoken only way up high
Now this house of a foreign God does stand
Now must they leave us alone
Still he heard from somewhere in the woods
Old crow of wisdom say
People of Asa land, it's only just begun
Gracias estaba buscando esa letra hace tiempo
Beautiful , Thank You so much Mariana
Thank you so much
Gracias Mariana.
bathorys bst song imo
I can't exactly explain why I cry every time I listen to this song, but it has an incredibly powerful impact - RIP Thomas
I can fully understand your reaction...

Maybe it's because the song is about the demise of the traditional Nordic, figuratively speaking, European culture and its replacement by the Abrahamic Plague, and our heathen souls simply feel it.

Indeed 1 road 1 I.
The first time I heard this song, I was so blown away that I can barely describe it. Its perfect, tells a fantastic story and takes you on a journey.
Same I never thought he could sing like that
Like when I first heard shores in flames. His guitar work is 2nd to none. Hendrix eat your heart out

@@AFXSnares why is that they are both true legends and geniuses in there own right that's what i ment in my reaction so i still don't see why that's disrespectful comparing Chuck whit quorthon they are both true and legendary musicians it don't have any thing to do with disrespect i respect both geniuses equally they made both great music and death and bathory together with hellhammer are my most favorite bands in the world
@Cultöerectus Schuldiner is a German-Jewish name. Obviously. As if Chuck's religious background even mattered. There are a ton of Jews in hard rock and metal bands including Rush, Anvil, Kiss, Van Halen, Manowar, Testament, Aerosmith, Warlord, Type O Negative, Anthrax, Nuclear Assault, Megadeth, Dream Theater, Blue Oyster Cult, Disturbed, Killswitch Engage, The Dillinger Escape Plan, etc..
@@AFXSnares Chuck is not a Jew if it even matters
I’ve been listing to metal for years and I’ve never heard a more epic melodic fist pumping song. It’s emotional and aggressive holy crap. 🤘🏻
i remember when the first album was released, I read a review that said: "This is what it would sound like if a 747 landed in your living room". I rushed out and bought it as soon as I could.
Valhala listen to me , let Quorthon know that noone could ever replace him and noone will ever will.
When I heard Hammerheart in 1990, my jaw dropped, and to this day I can't lift it.
The pitch for a Bathory solo - unmistakeable
Simply the best metal music video of all time. You don't have a metal heart and soul if you think otherwise
super utwór greetings crom Poland 🎉
Клип и композиция просто супер. 👍👍👍👍
La mejor banda de todos los tiempos batory
A beautiful song. A mighty song.
Mr. Quorton was one of the Best from Scandic metal music players, never heard about conflict, burning churches, just loved czech beer, good people and his music and vocals are still one of the Best, love Blood Fire Death album
Acompanho bathory desde que me entendo por gente, muito bom
On this day (March 16th 2023) Bathory turns 40 years old, crazy.
Quorthon within just 20 years created 4 masterful Black Metal albums, 5 masterful Viking Metal albums and another 5 other albums not successful but good i'd say (2 Thrash, 1 Viking/Thrash mix and 2 Alternative solo albums)
and that's not even all, dude allegedly recorded many classical tracks from 1999 to 2000 but scrapped due to not sounding like Bathory and planned on some Gothic Metal material with his sister as well as a return to Black Metal in 2004 but died of a heart attack in june tragically, one last thing to say is that i read about plans of 80s demos to be compiled on a boxed set but that hasn't happened unfortunately.
Rest in Peace, Thomas Börje Forsberg, Most passionate metal artist i have ever seen.
Quorton você e uma obra prima não e possivel que alguem fale mal de você , quorton você tem um lindo talento você e tipo o rei do black metal você merece o trono do melhor black metal que ja existiu nessa terra to falando serio você e muito brilhante lindo incrivel fofo gato carismatico simpatico leal esperto inteligente top muito bom
quorton descanse eternamente para que quando você reencarnar você salve a geração !!
Bathory...yksi parhaimpia yhtyeitä 🤟🔥 biisit mahtavia ym..,1980 luvulla kuulin ja ihastuin 💯 R.I.P, QUORTHON
Master Quorthon. Rest in Valhalla friend
Not my younger brother showing me Bathory years ago when he was like 14 ?! The fact that I’m the one who got him into metal music !! and it was the best discovery ever !

People of Asa land, it's only just begun...
Listening to this in my conservatory. Radiator's on. Mild Winter in the heart of England.
I dream of snow. I have seen it, have even touched it. But was many years ago when i was in the Continental heathen lands.
:) My brother bought a couple of Bathory records in the 90's. One Rode To Asa Bay was most played.
This song reminds me of me and my mates all going out on bikes runs all summer lmfao great memories 😂😂
One of the best and most important metal songs of all time 🤘
One of the best clips ever and a song first time listened in 14 years and still love it ... I want would go to Asa bay right away .... Hail Quorthon in Valhalla, we will carry on your legacy. R.I.P. Your music is timeless, the BEST!
"I want would go to Asa bay right away" -- just go then. never let 'em stop you
@@pavlolakhmanyuk7920 Yes, its true, never let the stop us, government, ...anything, anybody.......we will fight on ! Hi from Czech , wish you luck and fingers cross for You !
I am almost 50 years old guy and I still love to listen this song and this voice and sound. Remember 30 years ago like young black metall fun
Same here, 47 , but still got the chills from this.....

@@Manowar9 Tell em! I've been into Hard Rock and Metal since the 70s and nothing's gonna change. Love all the genre's and coming up on 60 🤘🤘🤘
This song of Bathory opens my chest I feel whole world is in my chest.
A lenda nórdica
