BATHORY “Under the Sign of Black Mark” LP

Label: Black Mark                                Black Metal

REPRESSED. Stunning 180 gram limited edition gatefold blue vinyl reissue of Bathory’s third album. It had a major influence on the black metal genre, specifically the Norwegian black metal scene that emerged in the early 1990s. The song “Woman of Dark Desires” is a tribute to the band’s namesake, Elizabeth Bathory, and has become one of their most recognized early tracks. “Enter the Eternal Fire” was the band’s first epic, reaching nearly seven minutes in length, and presaged the turn towards what would become known as Viking metal which Bathory would take on their next three records.
