Talk:Bathory (band)

message: This article should at least mention the fact that the Bathory album covers obscure the band name with old english font which has lead to the "BATLORD meme". I.e. people thinking the band is called 'BATLORD' due to the font ("Why does that Bathory shirt say Batlord?").

===Complete page overhaul?===
This page on Bathory is poorly sourced, and full of misinformation. A good source would be the autobiographical and biographical sources released with his albums (including posthumous ones), links and/or references to various interviews mentioned. I may know a lot things about Bathory, but I can't do anything without references to correct them. Please consider donating your time to Bathory if you own or know of any resources to better this article!

:I am currently trying to fix the articles about Bathory and Quorthon with information from Blod Eld Död, which came out last year. It has a lot of interviews with pretty much everyone involved with Bathory over the years, and it is confirmed that Boss/Börje Forsberg is Quorthon's father, and that Quorthon real name was Ace Forsberg.

message: Someone added in "Black Metal/Hardcore Punk" into the genre infobox. Apparently some people need to give Bathory a real close examination...they're anything BUT hardcore punk. I left it as Viking Metal, Black Metal, and Thrash Metal. Mister Deranged 21:17, 8 March 2007 (UTC)

message: There are NO citations in this article whatsoever. What basis is there for the assertion that they were a "highly intellectual" band? Could a fan or someone who has a clue about them please edit this article with citations. I'd like to read about them, but only if what I'm reading is grounded in documented fact.

replies: text: Yeah, this page is currently awful. I'll try and make it a priority to look for sources and sort this page out over the next week. I've removed some of the obvious nonsense, corrected a few bits per WP:MOS and added citation needed flags to everything that starts off with 'some fans think' etc. Those bits will probably get deleted but I'll have a go at sorting first.

thread_title:  Citations? 

message: I changed " *Ace ``Quorthon`` Börje Forsberg - all instruments & vocals (Silverwing)  (R.I.P. 2/17/1966 - 6/3/2004, heart failure)" to "Quorthon (2/17/1966 - 6/3/2004) - guitars, vocals, music, and lyrics"; inasmuch as 
1) it reflects more closely what is on the (presumably more authoritative) Quorthon page: we still don't know his real name; 
2) it seems to be standard policy not to list death details in line-up entries. 
Of these, 1) seems the more important.
Also, the relevance of Silverwing was left unexplained.

message: Seemingly someone has been trolling this page, see the remark "Bathory is also the worst band in the world". Someone should fix that, because I'm too lazy to do it.
Ban em. This is not correct information and has no citations except to a random 5SOS fan's opinion, which is irrelevant.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Lilahdog568 (talk • contribs) 02:58, 12 January 2015 (UTC)

message: We can probably find sources saying Bathory is several different styles at different periods of their career. I'm not particularly interested in arguing about them. I reckon we leave 'black metal', 'Viking metal' and 'thrash metal', don't state exactly when they were in the infobox but find sources. Reasonable compromise? Blackmetalbaz (talk) 21:10, 28 April 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I'm not interested in arguing about it, either. I don't think there is an arguement really. Early on they were black metal, then they became Viking metal, then they made a couple thrash albums and then went back to Viking metal. Sounds fine to me, though I think the sources are unneccesary per what I just said.  THere's never been an edit war on this page (that I know of) over the genres. Blizzard Beast $ODIN$ 21:30, 28 April 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Nah, just something mentioned on another Talk page. I think you could make an argument that some of the early stuff is thrash as well as black. Finding sources for that is actually quite easy, although some users seem to regard Terrorizer as unreliable. Blackmetalbaz (talk) 21:52, 28 April 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: True and true. Though if you argue that early Bathory is thrash it's very different than the thrash that they played on Requiem and Octagon. Blizzard Beast $ODIN$ 22:03, 28 April 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Oh absolutely. Notably by not being shit ;-) Blackmetalbaz (talk) 22:29, 28 April 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Hahahahahaha!! True. Those were the only bad albums that Bathory ever made. Blizzard Beast $ODIN$ 22:59, 28 April 2008 (UTC)

text: I think the lead should say Black Metal not Viking Metal, as most everything of theirs can be considered Black Metal, where as Viking Metal isn't until a few albums in. Viking Metal is (arguably/traditionally) a subgenre of Black Metal anyway, but that's a different argument. JanderVK (talk) 02:06, 27 September 2014 (UTC)
thread_title: Genre (as usual)

message: Black metal used to mean any group that sung Satanic lyrics. The oposite being white metal which was groups that sung lyrics about the Bible. When Venom released the album "Black metal" it was reference to it being evil / satanic. 
Its like saying Helloween are first wave Death Metal as they appeared on an album titled "Death Metal". Everyone knows Helloween aren't Death metal the same way everyone remembers Venom were part of the NWOBHM. Venom sound more like Motorhead only with poorer recording quality and production - Motorhead were a much bigger band with bigger label support.
The new genre taking the name "Black Metal" evolved from Death Metal groups who took a large influence from groups like Venom. Deatth Metal was usually satanic in its theme as with Morbid Angel etc who took much influence from bands like Slayer so the conection of Satanic theme with groups like Venom is understandable.
Black metal as a genre / sub-genre of extreme metal music started not with Venom etc but was started much later and was greatly influenced by Venom etc.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 77.96.254.123 (talk) 16:35, 7 September 2008 (UTC)

message: The Early years section of the Biography states that Nosferatu, Natas, Mephisto, Elizabeth Bathory and Countess Bathory were names used before the band decided on Bathory.
