Biography
Swedish heavy metal band Bathory was formed in Stockholm, Sweden in 1983. The founding member was Quorthon (Tomas Forsberg). During the band’s history he was remaining the only one founding member and all other members were changing. The final line-up included only him; he played all the instruments and was vocalist as well. Quorthon’s project ceased to exist as he was found dead in his own apartment. He died from heart attack. The band’s name comes from the infamous Hungarian Countess Elizabeth Bathory who is told to be inhumanly cruel. The band’s lyrics was about Satanism and anti-Christianity, though later they changed their direction and devoted lyrics to Viking culture. The band released 17 studio albums and the last one is Nordland II. From our site, you can download the last album by Bathory in mp3.
