Bathory - "Hammerheart" (1990)
Quorthon finishes his transition away from Bathory's classic black metal sound into previously uncharted territory... well at least for extreme metal anyway as the Manowar plagiarism is very clear. "Hammerheart" not only single-handedly created a new subgenre of metal but it also presented itself in the most defined, impressive & iconic package we've heard from Viking metal still to this day. Amazing stuff that completed a trio of classic of Bathory albums in my opinion.
4.5/5
