Hail Quorthon !! Hail Bathory !!

"Ace Thomas "Quorthon" Forsberg (February 17, 1966 – June 3, 2004) was the founder and song writer of the pioneering Swedish black metal band Bathory. He is credited with largely helping in the creation of Black Metal, and evolving it from its thrash origins into what is identified as black metal today, and also creating the genre Viking Metal, the latter having a more evolved and operatic style. He composed the music and wrote the lyrics on all of Bathory's albums.

Quorthon formed Bathory in 1983 when he was 17 years old. Always underfunded, his albums had a rough quality which many black metal bands would later emulate, and which would come to characterize this genre of music. He recorded in a garage, on a 4 track recorder, with mechanics working around him, and neighbors mowing their lawns, also known as Heavenshore Studios.

Quorthon also personally paid for the production of Bathory's music video for "One Rode to Asa Bay" in 1990. The video was shown on MTV's Headbanger's Ball, though he had not yet seen it at the time he was interviewed for the program.

Beginning in the 1990s, he took full control of Bathory, choosing to forego performing live in order to spend time recording music with hired musicians. He also played a bass guitar on almost all of his albums, and mostly used a drum machine or a session drummer.

In 1993 Quorthon set Bathory aside and recorded and released two albums under the name "Quorthon". First was called Album released in 1994, and Purity of Essence in 1997. The albums were more rock oriented than Bathory's black/viking metal style. While working on these albums he found new inspiration to continue composing music for Bathory.

Bathory's next albums were in a retro-thrash metal style, unlike previous releases. But in 1996 Quorthon released Blood on Ice, a concept album which he began recording in 1989 but didn't finish. Blood on Ice returns to Bathory's viking metal style. His next albums followed in that vein as did the Nordland saga. It was planned as a four-album set, but only two were finished."

Quorthon is still alive. He lives in my heart and feed on my love to his music. Everytime as you are listening to his music he comes to you. Arrives from Valhalla.

I have one big hope, one big wish, one thing I would really, really like to be true. I just like to think that somehow, somewhere, sometime, from a hall up high, Quorthon sees inside all of our souls and sees how much he means for us, how much we love him and how much we regret his early death. I just hope he is aware of the 'cult' he has created, of how important Bathory is for so many metalheads, and I hope he knows how many people think of him and even shed a tear in his honor, from time to time...
