And **** yes about Hammerheart. I could listen to the album all day. "Baptized In Fire and Ice" has got one of the greatest riffs of all time. I really can't think of any bands that are that epic sounding. Nothing like it on Earth.
I've had Storm of the Light's Bane forever, but I still need to hear The Somberlain. I still kick myself for not getting it when I saw it in FYE one time. I kick myself for not buying every Bathory album I ever saw in a store for that matter. The only physical album by them I have is Nordland I.

The only Bathory albums I didn't love were Octagon and Requiem, when he went old school thrash. I also thought Blood On Ice was a little weaker than their other Viking albums.
Listen to The Somberlain ASAP. I prefer it over Light's Bane actually. The Somberlain is one of the few albums I have rated a perfect 10/10.
Sadly I don't own physical CDs by either band but would grab them in a heartbeat if I ever saw them at a record store.
