Does Bathory count as black metal or is that just Viking metal?

When you think of Black Metal you usually associate it with the Norwegian bands which started in the early 90's but these bands are part of the 'Second Wave' of Black Metal. Bathory is considered part of the 'First Wave' of Black Metal which also included bands such as Merciful Fate, Hellhammer, Celtic Frost and Venom. The term 'Black Metal' was first coined by the English band Venom with their 1982 album 'Black Metal' because us English pretty much invented everything.

If you like Bathory, one of my favourite bands called 'I' did a song dedicated to them which I think is better than anything Bathory has ever done.

That's pretty awesome. Thanks for sharing. I still prefer Bathory, but damn, did that get me pumped.

And if you didn't invent it you still claim you did. jk

Yeah I was joking anyway. Truth is we did invent a hell of alot of stuff, the only problem is we are shit at pretty much everything we do. Football is a good example, haha

Speaking of nationalities, where abouts are you from Stoney?

Ireland. Dublin to be precise. Although I can't really comment on England been shit at football. We have Paul McShane starting for us, for fuck sake. Although the list of crappy players we have goes on and on. lol

I really like Immortal and Dissection's Storm of the Lights Bane. But I'm more of a thrash metal/melodic death metal kinda guy.

Thrash and Melo-Death? You listen to Lazarus A.D and Children of Bodom?

Never heard of Lazarus A.D. but I love Children of Bodom. Arch Enemy, Amon Amarth, Carcass, Death, Opeth, Sentenced and Dark Tranquillity are some of the other death metal bands I listen to. I like metal in general...pretty much all the genres other then the nu-metal shit that plaqued the 90's.

Metallica, Iced Earth, Megadeth, Testament, Exodus, Heathen, Overkill, Blistered Earth, Slayer, Kreator, Judas Priest, Nevermore, Black Sabbath, Metal Church, Anthrax, Mercyful Fate/King Diamond, Dio, Iron Maiden, Motorhead, Hammerfall, Blind Guardian, Lamb of God, Shadows Fall, Trivium....I have tons of music from all these guys.

Lazarus A.D is new, but there still thrash. And there very good too.

Awesome.
