The wind carries the quest for revenge and the tale of Blood on Ice.

Bathory - Blood on Ice

The album itself is a perfect example of Viking metal. The album's story is about viking beliefs. Quorthon manages to creates an adequate epic ambient, with war sounds and very strange noises. Quorthon has a great and varied voice, no grunts or screams (lol waldo). You can also hear some of his old satanic addiction.

Glad you liked it seguro. That's why it's called Viking-era Bathory and not Black metal. I can upload more for you if you want.
