Best Bathory Albums

The Top Ten
1 Blood Fire Death

Great album, very heavy, nice keyboards

2 Under the Sign of the Black Mark

In my opinion, this album marginally eclipses Blood Fire Death. It is much heavier and darker than the latter, with the trademark 'horrible' black metal production. For starters, I'd recommend Blood Fire Death and working your way backward.

One of the best albums

3 Hammerheart

The best Bathory album, along with Twilight of the Gods.

4 Bathory
5 Blood on Ice

This album is ridiculously underrated.

6 The Return...

It isn't as inferior as it's made out to be. In fact, I find it a tad more enjoyable and memorable than all of their Viking-era outputs. A very influential record that began sliding into obscurity once the following record dropped. Check out Born For Burning and The Rites of Darkness.

7 Twilight of the Gods

'One Rode to Asa Bay' on Hammerheart is my favourite Quorthon song, but it set the tone for this majestic work.

8 Nordland II
9 Nordland I
10 Destroyer of Worlds
The Contenders
11 Requiem
12 Octagon

The worst one.
