Yesterday, 11 May 2012, was the 25th birthday of the album Under The Sign Of The Black Mark by Bathory. The album is considered a classic of black metal.
I don't intend to do regular metal news posts on this blog, but Bathory was the band which got me into black metal, so I wanted to mention this special metal birthday. There are two great posts on Invisible Oranges related to Under The Sign's 25th birthday: one is an analysis of the album, and the other is a more personal piece. Read the articles here:
