by Patrick Schmidt (10/02) The first and the second part of the "Nordland Saga"!

Nordland I
"Destroyer of worlds" harvested some hard critiques and is surely not one of Γ¬ the better Bathory-albums. But with "Nordland", Quorthon gets back on the Γ¬ right track and delivers an album that can convince all through again - Γ¬ presupposed you like the epic "Hammerheart"/"Twilight of the gods"-phase. Γ¬ Already the opening title track clocks in at over nine minutes and rolls Γ¬ down everything that comes in its way. Only the vocals are a matter of Γ¬ taste, but you should know by now that Quorthon has never been a good Γ¬ singer. But this fact is not disturbing the quality of epics, like Γ¬ "Foreverdark woods" or the great ballad, "Ring of gold", no it rather Γ¬ underpins the uniqueness of Bathory. A first superficial look on the lyrics Γ¬ lets you guess that the master again devoted to nature-mysticism. Also if Γ¬ there will surely be some grumblers who like to reduce Bathory to the first Γ¬ three albums, I would claim that "Nordland" is a very well done, in times Γ¬ intoxicating document of sound of a still creative musician. And better than Γ¬ "Destroyer of worlds", anyway! (Patrick Schmidt - 10/02)

Nordland II
It's done! The Northland saga is complete! Already with "Nordland I", Γ¬ Quorthon impressively returned to the sound of the Bathory-classics, Γ¬ "Hammerheart", "Twilight of the gods" and not to forget "Blood on ice". Γ¬ "Nordland II" now features a full 60 minutes of unmistakable Bathory Γ¬ trademarks, like powerful choir vocals, mighty drums and walls of guitars Γ¬ (up to 8 at the same time!), it's all here. Quorthon's vocals will remain a Γ¬ matter of taste, but they, too add to the unique flair of "Nordland II". In Γ¬ titles, like the opener, "Blooded shore", "Sea wolf", "Vinland", the melodic Γ¬ "The land" and the song "Death and resurrection of a northern son" provided Γ¬ with an addictive chorus, Bathory are at their best and in terms of song Γ¬ writing even manage to outlive the predecessor. In terms of production, this Γ¬ band has never been better, I wouldn't know how this could be better. The Γ¬ epic atmosphere and the created tension can even compete with "Blood on Γ¬ ice", and could there be a bigger compliment for Quorthon latest Viking Γ¬ Metal masterpiece? (Michael Rother - 04/03)
