CD in jewelcase.

Background information über 'The Return...'

When Bathory unleashed "The Return..." in 1985, they didn't just deliver another black metal album – they crafted a sonic manifesto that would echo through the underground for decades. This sophomore effort saw Quorthon and his cohorts diving deeper into the abyss, creating a more focused and brutal assault than their debut. The production is deliberately raw and unforgiving, with each track feeling like it was recorded in some forgotten crypt. From the apocalyptic opener "Revelation Of Doom" to the haunting finale "The Return Of Darkness And Evil", this album captures the essence of mid-80s extreme metal at its most primal.

The genius of "The Return..." lies in its ability to balance primitive savagery with memorable songwriting. Tracks like "Born For Burning" and "Bestial Lust (Bitch)" showcase Bathory's knack for creating anthems that are both ferocious and oddly catchy. The album's influence on the second wave of black metal cannot be overstated – you can hear its DNA in countless bands that followed. While some might find the production rough around the edges, that's precisely what gives these songs their unholy power. This isn't music for the faint-hearted; it's a declaration of war against musical conformity.

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