Quorthon and Schuldiner are the two geniuses that've shaped the metal music, creating new genres and inspiring generations of musicians. Personally, I equally adore both "Blood Fire Death" and "Hammerheart" albums and consider them the pinnacles of their respected genres. It's a shame he has ended his black metal adventure so soon, but the so-called "viking" era albums are on whole another level of musicianship as well. They may be not as technical, but they have a soul that many modern folk-aligned metal albums lack. When I was younger I was so fascinated with Quorthon's mixing and audio quality that later I found myself failing to appreciate cleanly and professionally produced records. For me Quorthon may be the most important musician in my personal music journey.

Never got why "Viking Metal" is considered a genre; lyrical themes shouldn't be chosen as the main identifying factor of a genre. Amon Amarth, Brothers of Metal, Bathory...all completely different styles, musically. At this point, might as well make "Satanic Metal" a genre even though Mercyful Fate, Venom, Altar, Slayer are completely different styles of Metal.

I respect what Quorthon did for viking metal, but man, I wish he had released more black metal records. The first four albums are fucking awesome, why he had to leave us so soon.

If I remember right. In his last interview he said that he will release more thrashy/black sound in future albums. Sadly enough he left too soon. He would made us pissing honey for what he meant still to do. Well maybe in some alternate universe he's still with us

do u think so? i'm not so convinced on that. always a contentious topic that most people run and point to Possessed, but I would personally say Master or Cuck Shuldonger, both of whose early demos were widely dubbed on the tape trade postal network.
