Along with Venom, Bathory are the highly respected pioneers of Black Metal. Bathory's name is the last name of the evil woman Elizabeth Bathory who lived sometime around the 1500s-1600s. some even go as far as calling her a vampire because of her vampiric crimes.
About Black Metal: Bathory's "Quorthon" took metal to a new level when he added high-pitched demon-like vocals screaming out lyrics focusing on evey aspect of evil to aggressive thrash. The genre then evolved into a more symphonic sound with lots and i mean LOTS of tremelo picking and blastbeats.
Quorthon, who died in 2004 from a heart related problem, also pioneered yet another great genre, Viking Metal, with albums like "Hammerheart" and "Twilight of the Gods" and the latest "Nordland" series. Viking Metal is characterized by mixing heavy metal, lots of choirs in the back chanting to the main riff of the song, and sometimes a bit of a folk influence straight out of the streets of Northern European countries such as Finland or Iceland. (Therefore you will probably hear alot of flutes and maybe even some bag-pipes!) But what mainly characterizes it are the lyrics about Norse Mythology and Asatru beliefs.

A taste of Bathory's Black Metal Style: I close your eyes
and send you into vainly dreams
I reign your soul
the night engulf your painful screams
I watch you cry and
twist your soul in agony
No prayers can save you now
from hell in eternity
I devastate your soul
and lacerate your mind
In sin I sanctify my
sword to crush your spine
A taste of Bathory's Viking Metal style:
God of Thunder
Who crack the sky
Swing your Hammer
Way up high
In chariot of gold
Ride across the clouds
The black storm is unfold
Burning mist is but a shroud
Seeds and honey
Milk and blood
A Sacrifice
To Thunder God
Laid in ship of Oak
On final sail to fate
Steel is at side
Drifting to the open Gates of
Valhalla
Shields of gold
Valhalla
Great warriors hall
Pretty significant change eh?
R.I.P. Quorthon (By the way I can't tell if he went to the firey firey place, or if he went to Valhalla.) ;)

Get the Bochocho mug.A long-gone but once powerful family in Hungary. The height of the Báthory clan was in the 1500s and 1600s. Thought to be closely inbred, as most royalty and nobility in those days, brighter family members like King Stephan Báthory of Poland were eclipsed by more brutal members. Devil worshippers, perverts, sadists, witches, and mentally unstable characters.
Countess Elizabeth (Erzébet) Báthory (1560-1614) was the worst of them. Mentally ill, promiscuous, vain, narcissistic and highly sadistic, Elizabeth was the inspirationn behind Count Dracula.
Elizabeth enjoyed torturing servants, especially if they were young women and attractive. As she grew older, she feared losing her youth and her so-called "beauty"... according to folklore a servant girl accidently pulled her hair while styling it and Elizabeth struck the girl across the face so hard that she drew blood, which got onto her hands. When she'd washed the blood off, in her twisted mind, she thought that her skin had regained its freshness and youthful suppleness where the blood had splashed. And the rest is history.
Scores of peasant girls, and later, noble girls of lower rank than the countess, were mercilessly tortured, ranging from weeks to months, and killed in the most painful and frightening ways. Elizabeth never missed out on the torure and death of her victims, delighting in soaking up their blood. Killing girls of nobility began her downfall. She was never charged, sadly, and was walled up inside her small room in 1611, where she died in 1614. Sufficient punishment? I think not. Her accomplices, however, were punished as badly as the maidens that they tortured.

"...a twelve year old girl named Pola somehow managed to escape from the castle. But Dorottya Szentes (Elizabeth's friend and alleged witch) aided by Ilona Jó (Elizabeth's nurse maid and governess from her childhood), caught the frightened girl by surprise and brought her forcibly back to Castle Csejthe. Clad only in a long white robe, Countess Erzsébet greeted the girl upon her return. The countess was in another of her rages. She advanced on the twelve-year-old child and forced her into a kind of cage. This particular cage was built like a huge bell, too narrow to sit in, too low to stand in. Once the girl was inside, the cage was suddenly hauled up by a pulley, and dozens of short spikes jutted into the cage. Pola tried to avoid being caught on the spikes, but Gyorgy Thurzo maneuvered the ropes so that the cage shifted from side to side. Pola's flesh was torn to pieces..."

Get the BohoSolo mug.Bobhot is when Bob, who thinks he is not hot according to the general standard looks hot. He will admit to looking better than usual but still not quite up with whomever he is comparing himself to. Therefore to boost his self-esteem without making him uncomfortable, we use the term bobhot.
When Bob switches from his usual look of cargo shorts, gym shoes and a random t-shirt to wearing a tuxedo or something of that nature. In recent times, Bob has put himself into a new state of bobhot by ridding himself of the combover he sported since he had enough hair to do it and moving into the late '90s with some sort of spiky thing.
