TRIBUTE to Quorthon / BATHORY

Project leaded by Oli
(SOULDEVOURER,DAWN OF ANGER,
DINGIR AMAR.UD,DOWNFALL CORPORATION)
(Links below)

With the utmost respect and to honor Quorthon´s musical legacy!
No commercial interests!

Just the joy to play these great songs in my style
Sounds like a mixture between
that infernal pounding & shredding sounds
from the demos and the first four official records,
especially "Under the Sign of the Black Mark",
plus the classic BOSS HM-2 buzz saw guitar tone
and own ideas!

HAIL THE HORDES


Track by Track:

Track 1: The intro is originally on the "Under ..." album and was interpreted with Thor's thunder & ligthning and piano.
Track 2: One of BATHORY's classics and name giver of the band around Quorthon. In many songs, the original singing speed of the master was incredible fast. My phrasing is therefore sometimes different in some of my cover versions of the swedish musiscian. Musically,so the riffs, structure and tempo are largely corresponds to the original versions. The great pioneer mostly recorded his songs in E Tuning or Dis Tuning. My guitar was tuned to standard C, 4 or 3 semitones lower.
Track 3: Originally a demo work, simple but with an exhilarating groove and wonderfully refrain! HAIL SATAN !!!
Track 4: One of my favorite tracks from the debut. Here, unlike the other songs, I use a vocal effect that is somewhat reminiscent of Quorthon's vocal effects on the first and second record. The blunt snare beat hammered right into the head.
Track 5: An absolute dark hymn! The song first appeared on the Scandinavian Metal Sampler in 1984 and was then released again in a faster version on "The Return". I have merged both variants here, the transition from slow to fast was improvised by me. The singing style in the first chorus has also grown on my crap.
Track 6: That's it. The Outro again with Thor's support and with the integration of the classic Bathory Outro.
I hope you like it and one or the other digs up the old records again and pays homage to the master !!! HAIL THE HORDES !!!
