Nope. Bathory is once of those bands that were an essential influence of other musicians and that are partially responsible for what metal music is today but for whatever reason they seem to be relatively unknown for today's metal masses.

So congratulations, my friend! It looks like you're one of today's Lucky 10000! Give it a shot, share it with your friends!

They're one of those bands that, if you like any version of metal, you kinda need to check out. Maybe only one listen through the discography, but it's worth it just to hear the origins of a lot of metal characteristics.

Not everyone will like them. And, I'm dubious any time someone claims to like listening to the first album more than once lol. Like, there's some serious fucking metal on there, but the recording is so fucking bad.

I also like to use a BATH ORB after a long day at work

There’s an epic post on MetalArchives from someone who claims he always thought they were called “Batlord”.

[–] TonyToniToneOfficial@lemmy.ml 9 points 1 year ago

All hail the ratlord

Wait, I've been wrong about the band name for decades? Well, fuck me running

[–] Burn_The_Right@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

Fuck Me Running is a totally different band.

It's in Old English style of gothic script. A font that imitates a medieval type of handwriting.

That's such a dope shirt! Great, now I want one!

Well, somebody just got themselves a new grindcore band name.
