Music reviews of Blood Fire Death
Music Review: Classic Bathory
Rating: 4 Stars
This was a great disc.
Starts up with the atmospheric opener and then breaks into 'A Fine Day To Die'. A mid paced stomping opener. It gives the album a good start before the onslaught begins. and the production on this sound wise, is a touch better than 'Under the Sign'..
'The Golden Walls of Heaven', Holocaust' and ' Pace Til Death' are just Bathory speed at its best. Just brutal as hell. Tough to make out the lyrics, but it doesn't much matter. Its the guttural heaviness that makes it work. 'Dies Irae' follows the same speed pattern. These tracks just burn.
'For All Those Who Died' is another mid paced track that fits well as a breather from all the speed. Really good and most accessible track. It has a memorable yet basic chorus and riff. Reminds me of 'Woman of Dark Desires' off of Under the Sign.. Same tempo. And then there is the epic Title track. A Very long, but good song that builds nicely. Definitely the first acoustic guitar heard on a Bathory CD. A sign of what would come with the follow up 'Hammerheart'. It's a slower paced track, more in the 'viking' style. Though, I must confess, sometimes I skip it. Its a Good finish to a very good album.
Between this and 'Under the Sign..' you get the best from Quorthon. Though later albums would be decent enough, and some would be mediocre, these 2 were the best of the best as far as I am concerned. Must have for Speed/Black Metal fans.
The 'Kraze' version gets a D- for packaging. The cover art looks OK but the back of the inner card and back cover are horrendous! Almost looks like a bad bootleg because there is Nothing to it but the cover art basically. Not even the pic of Quorthon with the sword like in the original gate-fold LP. Just a black card is all! No info whatsoever. They certainly didn't go out of their way to make this an interesting package. Maybe the imports are better where that is concerned, so beware if you are a collector. Get a different version.
I personally don't think it sounds bad at all. It never was well produced, but it comes off fine. Definitely not remixed or anything. Obviously the label put no money into this, but it still sounds like the original, just the packaging is horrible.
