"BATHORY WAS NEVER A SATANIC ACT, BUT WE HAVE ALWAYS BEEN ANTI-CHRISTIAN."
PIC INFO: Spotlight on an oversize poster design of BATHORY's self-titled 1984 debut album. Original illustration by Joseph A. Smith (b. 1936), lifted and/or repurposed by Quorthon (1966-2004).
QUORTHON: "When we did the first album, we had absolutely no idea what Satanism was all about at all. We just wrote stuff that came from horror films and horror magazines. We were not Satanists at all. By the time we did the second album, I had read a lot on the satanic topic as well as the Christian Bible. But after that I came to the conclusion that it was all just bullshit. Christianity was based on a Jewish fairytale and had nothing to do with my part of the world. God was a fascist -- you shall have no other Gods to worship but me, etc... When we started BATHORY we were too young to ride bikes and fuck all these girls and drink Jack Daniels for breakfast. So we picked up the satanic, demonic topics from all those horror movies and magazines we had watched and read as kids."
-- QUORTHON (R.I.P.) to Metal Rules on the lyrical subject matter of their 1984 debut LP

You know I think the way Quorthon talked about mountains in his songs is interesting.
There's that song "Burnin' Leather" that he made in 1987 and didn't release until the Jubileum compilation records were released. It's probably my favourite of Bathory's "lost" tracks.
Climb the mountainside of your own soul
You'll get so much in return
Ands once you are master in control of within
Then your leather is ready to burn
Then there's the song "To Enter Your Mountain" from the 1991 album Twilight of the Gods. The whole song seems to talk about "climbing your mountainside" in a way that conveys some kind of individualistic spiritual journey.
Trust me there is a never ending mountainside to climb for you too
To enter your mountain
Go into your mountainside
To enter one's mountainside
Will take its man
Feels like there's got to be something to it, some part of Quorthon's larger personal and religious worldview that just reaches out to me somehow.
