• General Enmity / 1997 [Wounded Love]

A slowdown and a turn towards "classic Metal"?

No relation to the Australian Allegiance.

A marginal incusion maybe. They are known to trade members with Marduk every now and then.

Quorthon started the band in March 1983 together with two other guys. Initially they played Motörhead-influenced rough Metal much like early Venom. The line-up didn't last long, and after one demo and two tracks on a compilation album Quorthon kicked the two others, as they weren't into the things he wanted to create. With this the music changed to become also very Venom-like but much "Blacker". With no stable members except Quorthon the band fought through their first three albums, until Quorthon in late 1986 finally gave up the idea of having a "real" band and decided to continue all alone, getting help from friends and contacts when needed. By now Bathory had by far left the Venom cloning and "Under The Sign Of The Black Mark" would later become the banner under which modern "Northern" Black Metal bands would gather. Quorthon also felt that there was time for a change in the music and imagery of the band. For the next album he went more towards "battle hymns" type epics but the real shock came with "Hammerheart". Viking romanticism presented in clear vocals to high-toned solemn tunes. The following album continued the slow-paced march towards ancient times, now also with classical influences and impressive acoustic guitarwork. Then came a sudden turn towards late eighties' Speed/Thrash Metal, although the latest release is from the Viking era. Quorthon, only has also made a solo album which is NOT Metal at all (it's grungy rock and as such not bad at all, in case you wondered) and a second one is coming. Future Bathory material is supposed to be unlike anything released before, but still Metal and still heavy.

• The Return / demo / 1983

They were pretty Motörhead-influenced in those days
• Bathory / 1984 [Under One Flag/Combat/Black Mark]

Some think that this is more Speed Metal than really Black
• The Return... / 1985 [Under One Flag/Black Mark]

Real Black Metal!
• Under The Sign Of The Black Mark / 1987 [Under One Flag/New Renaissance/Black Mark]

Hints of what would become modern Black Metal showing up here
• Blood Fire Death / 1988 [Under One Flag/Kraze/Black Mark]

Death/Battle Metal
• Hammerheart / 1990 [Noise/Black Mark]

Slower Power/Battle/Doom Metal
• Twilight Of The Gods / 1991 [Black Mark]

Slow and with lotsa classical influences
• Jubileum Volume I / 1992 [Black Mark]

compilation 1983-1991
• Jubileum Volume II / 1993 [Black Mark]

compilation 1983-1991
• Requiem / 1994 [Black Mark]

Speed/Thrash Metal. Recording quality not that great.
• Octagon / 1995 [Black Mark]

Also kind of Speed Metal, but traces of UTSOTBM/BFD era too
• Blood On Ice / 1996 [Black Mark]

Parts recorded in the Viking Metal era 1987-1989, parts new. Musically mostly like Hammerheart with parts that could also have been found on BFD and TOTG.

One of those things...

• Endless Damnation / demo / 1991
• The Return Of The Northern Moon / demo / 1992
• From The Pagan Vastlands / demo / 1994

identical to the demo
• ...And The Forests Dream Eternally / MCD / 1995 [Enthropy]
• Sventevith (Storming Near The Baltic) / 1995 [Pagan]

Translation: "Sventevith" is a Slavic god. The CD has "Transylvanian Forest" and "Sventevith (Storming...)" which it claims are bonus tracks
• Grom / 1996 [Solistitium]

Translation: "thunder"
• Bewitching The Pomerania / MCD / 1997 [Solistitium]

"Hidden In The Fog"/"Sventevith (Storming...)" (new recording?)/ "With The Spell Of Inferno (Mephisto)"
• The Return Of The Northern Moon / 1997 [Pagan/Last Epitaph]

You guess...
• (new album "Pandemonic Incantations" out already?)

Raw & primitive low-skill Black Metal the way it was meant to be... Or not? Recently went astray, though.

• 7th Blasphemy / demo / 1990
• Demonomancy / demo / 1990
• Dawn Of Satan's Millenium / picture 7" / 1991 [Turbo Music]
• <split with Death Yell> / 7" / 1991 [Turbo Music]

the Beherit track is "Werewolf, Semen And Blood"
• The Oath Of Black Blood / 1991 [Turbo Music/JL America/Turbo USA]

Consist of the "Demonomancy" demo and the "Dawn Of Satan's Millenium" 7" tracks. Horrible quality!
• Promo 1992 / demo / 1992

3 songs also included on "Drawing Down The Moon"
• Drawing Down The Moon / 1993 [Spinefarm/JL America/Turbo USA]
• Messe Des Morts / 7" / 1994 [Necropolis]
• H418ov21.C / 1994 [Spinefarm]

• Day Of Darkness / 12" / 1995 [bootleg] (split with Impaled Nazarene)

live from '91
• Electric Doom Syntheses / 1996 [Spinefarm]

Still mostly like "H418ov21.C"
• Werewolf, Semen and Blood / MCD / 1996 [bootleg]

What is on this?
• (the "Messe Des Morts" 7" will be released on a split CD with Archgoat ???)

(a split CD with Atanatos will be out soon on Odium/Darkside records ???)

• Aftertaste / 7" / 1994 [bootleg]

"Clouds" remix + 3 live songs

Impaled Nazarene-like violence. Quite grindcore-ish. Think Blasphemy's "Fallen Angel Of Doom" without the slow parts. They call it Satanic War Metal themselves.

More melody on this one
• (new album "Fist Of Satan" out yet?)

Ex-Throne Of Ahaz and Katatonia member. Thrashy Black (mid-80's reborn). Are they still active now that Katatonia are reunited? Not to be confused with the Chilean Bewitched.
