Black music cassette with 6 panel j-card.

Background information über 'The Return...'

Released in 1985, "The Return..." stands as Bathory's second full-length offering and arguably one of the most influential black metal albums ever recorded. This raw, uncompromising masterpiece pushed the boundaries of extreme metal even further than their debut, delivering a sound so primitive and ferocious that it would become the blueprint for countless black metal bands that followed. The album's lo-fi production, courtesy of Quorthon's vision, creates an atmosphere of pure darkness that perfectly complements the blasphemous lyrical content and relentless musical assault.

The nine tracks on "The Return..." showcase Bathory at their most primal and unforgiving. From the opening chaos of "Revelation Of Doom / Total Destruction" to the haunting "Outro" that closes the album, every moment drips with malevolent energy. Songs like "Born For Burning" and "The Rite Of Darkness / Reap Of Evil" became instant classics in the underground metal scene, while tracks such as "Bestial Lust" and "Son Of The Damned" demonstrate the band's ability to craft memorable hooks within their wall of sonic brutality. This album didn't just influence black metal - it essentially created the template that would define the genre for decades to come.

For fans of: Venom, Celtic Frost, Mayhem, Darkthrone, and Hellhammer
