“Enter the Eternal Fire” (originally by Bathory) by me
in preparation for the re-re-release of a cover of a Bathory track, here is some of the new stuff we added to the impending cover
“Wheel of Sun” by Vikingbard (originally by Bathory)
Vikingbard – “Wheel of Sun” (Bathory Cover)
revisited
So two years ago, I ironically covered a Bathory song about death called “The Wheel of Sun” at the time when I was closest to death as I’ve ever been. The reception for it was a tepid “meh” at best, and YouTube’s copyright police flagged the video: as I was trying to not get too many marks and have my channel taken down as a result, I deleted it.
But then today, I heard this cover of the same song that seriously made me consider uploading the song again.
I mean, seriously, wtf? I know pristine recording quality is as adverse to black metal as common sense is to liberals, but the guy who did the vocals sounds off-key and out of time periodically. The guitar sounds like it belongs in a doom metal band. The solo sounds only vaguely similar to the original, and the drums do nothing more than simply keep time. Lastly, speaking as someone who has spent more time analyzing the guitar work of Bathory’s last two albums more than any other fan likely has, the intro riff is, to my ears, wrong. Hell, my jam session got roasted for playing incorrect notes, and this is supposed to be professionally recorded?
Wow
