Bathory - R.I.P.

[Aamon]

die ersten paar scheiben sind ja herausragend.
gegen ende wurden sie aber eher durchschnittlich.

wäre interessant, was er jetzt machen würde. jetzt ist ja für so viele die
zeit, sich wieder zurückzubesinnen auf alte tugenden.
womöglich hätte er noch ein epos geschaffen.

leider gibt's sehr wenige bands, die diese lücke geschlossen haben.
mir fällt nur Moonsorrow ein, aber sogar die sind anders.

Da fällt mir grad ein das letzte Interview mit dem Rock Hard vom Quorthon!
Alter Schwede hat der die zur Sau gemacht geil!

CREST OF DARKNESS MEMBERS TO TAKE PART IN QUORTHON TRIBUTE EVENT
CREST OF DARKNESS founder and frontman Ingar Amlien together with drummer Kjetil Hektoen will join members of LEGIONES, ENTHRAL and THE EMBRACED in a specially formed band called SYTHANAGON WINGED to perform five songs by the late Thomas “Quorthon” Forsberg, founder of BATHORY and one of the pioneers of the first wave of Black and Pagan/Viking Metal. The event, which is billed as “Blood Fire Death – In Memory of Quorthon”, will take place on Saturday 17 November at the Fru Lundgreen in Trondheim, Norway, and as well as SYTHANAGON WINGED, other bands taking part include CHTON, CLEAVER, LAW OF THE HORSEMEN and A SORCERY WRITTEN IN BLOOD.
Commenting on the Quorthon Tribute event, Amlien, who started his musical career with the progressive band CONCEPTION before forming CREST OF DARKNESS, a vehicle that allows him to explore the more vampiric and satanic elements that interest him, said: “It’s a huge honour to be part of a tribute to an incredible musician. One who has influenced and inspired, and will continue to influence and inspire, generations of other musicians. It’s no exaggeration to say that many of today’s bands would probably not be around without him. Kjetil and I have been rehearsing hard with the rest of the guys and we are ready and very much looking forward to performing the BATHORY songs and do them the justice they deserve”.
