Bathory - Bathory (1984) Reissue [2010]

 

Bathory is the first album by the Swedish Black Metal band Bathory. It is considered one of the first recordings that defined the Black Metal style.

The original title for the album was "Pentagrammaton," but it was discarded because many people read it as "Pentagon." The staff was placed in the back and was replaced on the cover by the face of a goat composed of several horror comic clippings.

It was printed on 1000 copies of vinyl, with a yellow goat instead of white. In the reedición for CD of 1990, Storm of Damnation and the subject of exit (outro) are not mentioned in the list of songs.
