[edit] Discussion
I just clarified some of the stuff on Quorthon's name. There is still dispute about his name and relationship to the head of Black Mark, so the article should reflect that. All we know for sure is that he was known to Black Mark people as Ace. Black Mark also gives his year of birth as 1966, so I changed that. --Tkinias 12:16, 21 Nov 2004 (UTC)
- Black Mark gave his name as Ace Börje Forsberg. Considering his dad owns the label, shouldn't we take it that it's his real name? rob 01:31, 27 February 2006 (UTC)
I feel as though this section on Quorthon could be expanded, as so much more information is available on him, especially in consideration of his monumental contributions to metal music in general. I am currently working on such a biographical article, and I would appreciate help if any are willing, send me a message, or my AIM is 'Eldvindr'. --Eldvindr 00:50, 8 February 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Pugh Rogefeldt
Pugh Rogefelt is a swedish Prog musician. It would be extremely odd if this man was Quorthon. Especially since Pugh Rogefeldt is still alive, and that he released his first album in 1969. Living in Sweden, I do Not think there are (have been) Two Pugh Rogefeldts.

[edit] Instrumentalists on the records
Hi guys.
I grew up in Uppsala not awfully far from Upplands Väsby where Tomas Forsberg lived. I went to the same high school as Gustaf Jorde of Crematorium, later Defleshed - and all the information of Bathory I got from him. This was 1988-1991. What he told me is that Quarthon (Tomas Forsberg) played ALL the instruments himself on the records - which must mean that the other two demons where also him (bass & drums). He is also said to have hanged the song microphone from the ceiling when recording vocals bending the head back while growling so to give the harsh vocals. Well I did not hear this first hand but I was pretty sure Gustaf knew what he was talking about.

[edit] Blood Fire Death song
I don't know how to fit this into the article but the Blood Fire Death song could not be described as anything but VIKING/MELODIC DEATH METAL - just the genre Amon Amarth (supposedly inspired by Bathory) do today - compare Blood Fire Death lyrics with Cry of the Blackbirds lyrics.
It must be said out because it's such a smasher - and that it's having commercially sucessful followers in A.A. today.
