Hammerheart is the fifth studio album by Swedish extreme metal band Bathory. It continued the previous album Blood Fire Death 's transition away from black metal to what became recognized as Viking metal, and is considered a cornerstone work of the genre. [1]
Bathory abandoned the black metal sound for their fifth record, Hammerheart (1990), which is often cited as the first Viking metal album. The band continued in the Viking metal style for most of their remaining existence, although they experimented with a thrash metal style on the albums Requiem (1994) and Octagon (1995).
Despite the obvious departure from the early Bathory albums, this is very much a natural progression from the direction Bathory began on Blood Fire Death. The highlights of Hammerheart include Shores In Flames, Home of Once Brave and closing number One Rode To Asa Bay.
