Quorthon himself: "Well, I don’t know what kinda piece shit music to be influenced by, cause, you know, I mean, the first 3 or 4 Bathory albums, you know, they’re not even listenable. I mean, we’re terrible musicians, we didn’t have a clue, uuhhm, our English was fucked up, still is probably. But I mean, listen to even the first couple Bathory albums, the first Slayer albums; the first album of Celtic Frost, and the first album of Bathory-it’s all crap." He was mostly right. Especially Celtic Frost's debut is some of the worst shit that was ever released in metal music. But the Return and Under the... have groundbreaking songs in them.

I agree with what he said about satisfying yourself musically or giving the fans what they want which would limit the music's progression.

@@Beckonor Him/dad same difference. Tom, dad and sister were very close. He helped then worked for his dad learning a lot. Thus the co-producing too. Used what they had to make more money. Had a studio he xould use til he had one at his home. Co-created lable to maximize profit, legal, flexability, etc. As most bands try to do; especially early on after learning of big lable horrors. So mystiques were created to make it all seem more professional. Worked varibles of the lables(s). Put out some other releases and signed some bands, more in later years. Basicly all they did financed itself, not that much was needed. Pressings, touring (non-live) then the video sufficed for that level for which he was comfortable. I would not go as far as saying he was fortunate and privileged. The family had a lot of issues and struggles. They worked hard for what they had. Adding some and fighting to keep it all going. There was no Castle as many believed to be. They lived modestly and played the game well and got to do what they loved. So fortunate in that sense. Yet any privlige felt was just part of the porsona played prior to their unfortunate early ends... Truly hope his sister releases more of his unheard (*for most) creations. There is so much material he wrote/recorded. For & with his sister, Bathory, solo, & other projects. Would truly be grand gifts❣🤘
