Bathory (1984) The Return (1985)

Bathory is the debut album of the Swedish black metal band Bathory. It is considered one of the first recorded examples that defined the black metal style.

Originally the title for this album was "Pentagrammaton," but this title was discarded when several people read it as "Pentagon." The pentagram was moved to the back of the album cover and replaced with a goat face made up from several bits cut out from various horror comics.

It was first printed in 1000 vinyl copies, with a yellow goat instead of a white one. On the reissue of the CD in 1990, Storm of Damnation and the outro aren't mentioned in the tracklist. [1]
