It’s time to start a new Epic Metal Blog tournament. You all know it: We like playlists and games in equal measure. This time, we’re not focusing on the greatest epic metal bands of all time in a general sense, but on Bathory‘s discography.

From today on you can choose your favourite records that Quorthon released under the name Bathory between 1984 and 2003. You can see that we are not limiting ourselves to the Viking Metal era, which is stylistically the most relevant for our blog.

About the game mode: In the first round there are four groups (drawn by lot) with three albums each. These three albums all compete against each other once. The first two from these groups qualify for the second round. The four third-placed teams will subsequently play for places 9 to 12. Three points are awarded for a win and one point for a draw.

Please vote on Instagram via our stories. On Facebook, please post your decision in the comments column.

We hope for lively participation and exciting discussions. Hail Quorthon!
