FAN MAIL

Talk about weird. Bathory got their big break because of fan mail. In 1983, a small record label was putting together a compilation entitled Scandanavian Metal Attack. A band backed out at the last minute. Quorthon talked. The label boss relented. Begrudgingly and mostly as a favor to Quorthon’s Dad who owned the record label. And then it happened. The mail poured in. Lots & lots of it. Fan mail that is. Because the tracks were brilliant. The sound itself sounds like the beginnings of one of those classic jokes. Two albums walk into a bar. Metallica’s Kill ‘EM All. Venom’s Black Metal. They got shitfaced drunk. Sloppy & reckless. Fucked right there on one of the pool tables in the back. And spawned something new. Something awesome.

For at it’s core, it’s essentially a speed metal album mixed with a heaping ton of Venom worship. (After all they're named after a Venom song, the immortal “Countess Bathory.”) And created the most extreme speed metal heard at that point. What I love about my favorite kinds of music is that it’s sooo simple when you break it right down. Especially punk rock. And this is essentially punk rock. Simple plodding beats. A couple of cool riffs. Tension and release. Frenetic. And then easing off. Which isn’t surpinging really. Because long before he become the godfather of the entire black metal scene, Quorthon was just a punk. “Oh yeah, when I was a kid I was walking around with green hair and safety pins and stuff - I was totally into it. Ha! Ha!”. Quorthon continues, “Our interests are simple - sex, horror and the exploration of the dark side of life. It's just a way for me to let off a little steam, after all, this is supposed to be fun, right?".

And fun it is. What’s interesting to me is that tracks like "Necromancy" actually sound like goth rock mixed with industrial. Something that's not that far from early Skinny Puppy really. If "Necromancy" played at an industrial night at some dive-y punk club back in the mid 80s no one would have batted an eye. They would have just danced a little harder. That shit swings!
