Coming in from Sweden, Bathory is truly a one-of-a-kind band. With just a single band member, whose name is Quorthon, this band produced genre-defining albums such as "Under the Sign of the Black Mark," which is often considered to be one of the first black metal albums of all time, and "Hammerheart," which is the first true viking metal album of all time. Most of Bathory, however, has very strong roots of raw thrash metal, and when Quorthon mixed that with his "black metal vocals," he ended up making some of the first ever 1st wave black metal albums.
