If someone asked him the real name he always gave invented ones Rumours persist that Borje ''Boss'' Forsberg, the owner of Black Mark Productions, is Quorthon's father, but Quorthon himself denied these claims, stating ''Boss is 52, I'm 37. Add that up yourself. All these rumours surrounding Bathory are crazy.'', though Boss was in fact 59 at the time. It is also rumoured that Jennie Tebler is his sister When he formed the band in 1983, his nickname was originally Black Spade. He soon changed it to Ace Shoot, then finally to Quorthon, a name he found on a list of demons. Contrary to popular belief, Bathory have never released an official demo. The first recording was two songs for the Scandinavian Metal Attack compilation LP in 1984 Kothaar was a name used by more than one person. Bathory also had a few drummers, as well as drum machines. In some albums he even mixed a real drummer with a drum machine Quorthon died of heart failure on June 3, 2004 DISCOGRAPHY Scandinavian Metal Attack split with Oz, Trash, Zero Nine, Spitfire - 1984 Bathory - 1984 The Return - 1985 Under The Sign Of The Black Mark - 1987 Blood Fire Death - 1988 Split with Tankard and Rage - 1990 Hammerheart - 1990 Twilight Of The Gods - 1991 Twilight Of The Gods single - 1991 Jubileum Volume I compilation - 1992 Jubileum Volume II compilation - 1993 Requiem - 1994 Octagon - 1995 Blood On Ice single - 1996 Blood On Ice - 1996 Jubileum Volume III compilation - 1998 Katalog compilation - 2001 Destroyer Of Worlds - 2001 Nordland I - 2002 Nordland II - 2003 In Memory of Quorthon Volume I compilation - 2006 In Memory of Quorthon Volume II compilation - 2006 In Memory of Quorthon Volume III compilation - 2006 In Memory of Quorthon boxed set - 2006 |

SONG TO HALL UP HIGH I know you watch over me, father of all the past, and all that will ever be, you are the first and the last The watcher of all that lives, the guardian of all that died The one-eyed God way up high, who rules my world and the sky Northern wind take my song up high, to the Hall of glory in the sky, so it's gates shall greet me open wide, when my time has come to die |

HAMMERHEART Hammerheart Now that the wind called my name, and my star had faded now, hardly a glimpse up in the empty space, and the wise one-eyed great father in the sky stilled my flame For the ones who stood me near, and you few who were me dear, I ask of thee to have no doubts and no fears For when the great clouds fill the air, and the thunder roars from oh, so far away up in the sky, then for sure you will know that I have reached, the joyous hall up high With my bloodbrothers at side, all sons of father with one eye, we were all born in the land, of the blood on ice And now you all who might hear my song, brought to you by the northern wind, have no fear. Though the night may seem so everlasting, and forever dark There will come a golden dawn, at ends of nights for all yee, on whom upon the northstar always shines The vast gates to hall up high, shall stand open wide and welcome you, with all it's within, and Odin shall hail us bearers of, a pounding hammerheart |

How very mysterious. .im informed, a great deal is owed to Bathory, and given that they laid the cornerstone for what would follow, respect is well deserved. .its something im yet to explore, So ill say no more till then

Yes, Countess Bathory existed, but that's for another forum... Bathory has influenced so much of what I listen to, and has influenced me as a writer as well. When I heard the news of his death, I literally cried for days. His music and lyrics will always live on. RIP

I prefer the Viking stuff more, but so much has been a direct influence on other bands
