COLOUR:BLACK

BATHORY WAS FORMED IN 1983. THE BAND'S FRONTMAN, QUORTHON, WORKED PART-TIME AT THE SMALL RECORD LABEL TYFON. IN LATE 1983 AND EARLY 1984, THE LABEL WAS PUTTING TOGETHER A COMPILATION OF SONGS BY SCANDINAVIAN METAL BANDS. HOWEVER, AT THE LAST MINUTE, ONE OF THE BANDS BACKED OUT. TYFON AGREED TO LET BATHORY APPEAR ON THE RECORD AS A REPLACEMENT, AND THE BAND RECORDED TWO SONGS FOR THE COMPILATIONâ"SACRIFICE" AND "THE RETURN OF THE DARKNESS AND EVIL"ýIN JANUARY. THE ALBUM, SCANDINAVIAN METAL ATTACK, WAS RELEASED IN MARCH 1984 AND WAS BATHORY'S FIRST APPEARANCE ON RECORD. TO EVERYONE'S SURPRISE, OVER 95 PERCENT OF FAN MAIL SENT TO THE LABEL AFTER THE RECORD'S RELEASE WAS DEDICATED TO BATHORY. TYFON ASKED THE BAND TO RECORD A FULL-LENGTH ALBUM. HIS BANDMATES HAVING MOVED AWAY, QUORTHON RECRUITED RICKARD BERGMAN AS BASSIST AND STEFAN LARSSON AS DRUMMER. ON 22 MAY 1984, THEY HAD THEIR FIRST AND ONLY REHEARSAL TOGETHER BEFORE RECORDING THE ALBUM.
