From Wikipedia
Hammerheart is the fifth studio album by Swedish extreme metal band Bathory. Regarded one of the band's most progressive works, it continued the previous album Blood Fire Death's transition away from black metal to what became recognized as Viking metal, and is considered a cornerstone work of the genre. A music video was made for "One Rode to Asa Bay."
