Bathory – Return of the Darkness and Evil 1992 Produced by Quorthon – Black Mark Records
The Return of Darkness and Evil was the second album from Bathory and, what many can argue, also the most evil. Legend says the album was recorded after just one practice in a drunken stupor, and by the sound tightness and out-of-time drum track, I bet that is probably true.
Nevertheless, that album has gone down to be one of the most influential black metal albums of all time, and some say the best.

- Vocalist Doyle Bright briefly replaced Bruce Corbitt, and then the band split up for over a decade.
