"The first signs of what was to follow appeared on what some fans consider to be Bathory's best album: Blood Fire Death, where on some of the tracks the pace had slowed down to allow for a more epic songwriting approach. It was also here that the Viking theme was introduced. Most of the musical elements of Black Metal were still present, however. It was with the release of Hammerheart that Bathory surprised many of its fans. The style had now drastically changed towards less aggressive, more epic and atmospheric music; the lyrics dealt with themes about Vikings and Scandinavia's Norse mythology. Bathory had become pioneers in yet another genre within the world of extreme music—that of Viking Metal."
traduction:"les 1ers signes qui s'en suit aparurent sur ce que les fans considerent comme étant le meilleur album : blood fire death, ou l'on retrouve des titres vers une approche épique. c'etait aussi là que l'on employa le terme de viking metal. La plupart des éléments black metal était toujours la.
cependant, c'est avec la sortie de Hammerheart que Bathory surprend de nombreux fans. le style avait évolué et devenu moins agressif, plus épique et d'une musique atmosphérique ; les paroles faisaient allusion aux vikings et la mythologie nordiique. Bathory était encore devenu les pionniers d'un nouveau genre : le Viking metal."
