Additional information
Recording information: Heavenshore, Stockholm, Sweden. With their third album, 1986's Under the Sign: The Sign of the Black Mark (which, as you may have guessed, provided the name for their future record label), Sweden's Bathory took a major step forward in their development -- most notably when it came to the improved quality of the actual recording. Whereas their first two, technically challenged efforts had benefited from all the class and precision of a plane crash, this album's clearer, more professional sound finally allowed Seth Quorthon's fast-maturing songwriting skills to shine through the murk. This did not, however, mean that Bathory was forgetting their roots. Quite the contrary, for, while original fans unwilling to let go of the band's inaccessible past could content themselves with full-throttle thrashers like "Massacre," the shrill "Equimanthorn," and the downright furious "Chariots of Fire," those willing to grow along with the group could appreciate less-frenetic, more diversified numbers such as "Call From the Grave" and "Enter the Eternal Fire." In the latter, Bathory achieved their first bona fide epic, and this more than any other track here suggests the future glories soon to come. Quorthon's raspy, anguished croak remains an ever-present reminder of Bathory's primitive origins, but his increasingly musical guitar solos, usage of the occasional eerie synthesizer intro or accent (see the excellent "Woman of Dark Desires"), and gutsy decision to print his lyrics demanded a greater level of respect for what Bathory was trying to achieve beyond those simplistic first LPs. Finally, interesting closer "Of Doom" offers a Judas Priest-styled rave-up (thanking the fans for supporting the group, helping them rock out, etc.) and quotes the riff of Metallica's "For Whom the Bells Toll" to boot. In short, though clearly transitional (which of their albums wasn't?), Under the Sign: The Sign of the Black Mark remains a career highlight for Bathory and a crucial LP for all lovers of extreme metal. ~ Eduardo Rivadavia

Fantastic seller! My item took longer than normal to arrive but that's due to them sending me the wrong dvd. Not to worry though, I contacted them and they arranged for the correct dvd to be sent out. My item has now arrived and the dvd was in excellent condition (brand new as described) and it was very well packaged. I would also like to say that the value for money is excellent. I highly recommend this seller, thank you so much! The issue with the wrong dvd was quickly rectified .

This vinyl is really reasonably priced and I love that it is one of the more unusual colours. It arrived well packaged, undamaged and looks as described. It arrived late, due to Royal Mail's Festive rush, but was dispatched by the seller really quickly. When I contacted them to ask where it was, they replied really quickly with a helpful solution. Such good customer service, so strongly recommend. Really happy with my purchase.
