If you have even the slightest interest in viking metal, Hammerheart is an absolute must have. Bathory began the creation of this distinct and wonderful breed of metal with Blood Fire Death in 1988. Two years later, Quorthon absolutely defined the genre with Hammerheart. This is the first full viking metal album ever released, and probably still the greatest. From epic songwriting to skilled musicianship to wonderful atmosphere to perhaps the most passionate vocals in the history of metal, this album has it all. Now that I've had time to more fully explore the genre I've come to really appreciate how brilliant Bathory (Quorthon, RIP) was, and in the catalog of Bathory's work, Hammerheart stands as the crown jewel.
