Album: Hammerheart, Band: Bathory (1990)

A classic epic metal album who has influenced thousands of bands in epic and black metal scene. And all these to their charismatic frontman the late Quorthon. This album marks the beginning of their more melodic and accessible period, reminding in some cases the other epic metal giants, Manowar. But they sound more primitive and more genuine than Manowar, that's why I liked them much more. More in allmusic
