I don't think Quorthon would have been overjoyed, but he struck me as a cool dude from what I read on the Bathory.se site and I'm sure he would have let them do it if it required his permission. He did, however, distance himself from the extreme ideologies of the black metal bands inspired by his own work. I read that part of the reason he went viking was because he was getting letters from serial killers and convicted murderers saying they were fans of his work, and someone left a decapitated kitten outside the record label's office. I realize that's different from NSBM, by the way.
Incidentally, I noticed the Bathory website is down the other day. There was a lengthy band bio written by the man himself on there, and it explained a ton of things and was a great read. Does anyone know if it's been preserved?

I'm also looking forward to the new Wintersun. I think their self-titled debut was absolutely perfect. |
Good man. DF are tons of fun live. The new album already leaked, by the way. Can't wait for the Wintersun.
