Bathory is also the name of a Black/Viking band from Sweden, named after Elizabeth B thory (see Bathory (band)).
Bathory was the project of the now deceased Tomas "Ace" Börje Forsberg (Quorthon), who lived from 22 February 1966 - 7 June 2004 and died of heart failure.
Bathory was a landmark band in the history of fl metal.
Around the late 80s, Bathory changed its style from fl metal to what was later known as vikingmetal, mixing epic music with nordic themes and viking influences, while retaining its fl metal roots.
Bathory was a Swedish heavymetal band, and is regarded as one of the forefathers of the fl metal and vikingmetal genres.
Bathory's subsequent releases, the self-titled debut, The Return and Under the Sign of the Black Mark are now regarded as major influences on the Norwegian bands which extended Black Metal's musical progression and popularity in the beginning of the 1990s.
Bathory have been cited as an influence by musicians as diverse as Metallica, Marilyn Manson, and Billy Corgan of The Smashing Pumpkins.
