BATHORY mastermind Thomas "Quorthon" Forsberg was found dead in his apartment in Stockholm, Sweden on Monday, June 7, informed sources have told BLABBERMOUTH.NET. The 39-year-old son of Black Mark Records owner Börje Forsberg, widely considered to be one of black metal's founding fathers, died of an apparent heart failure. More information as it becomes available.

One of the first metal albums I bought was Bathory - The Return...
It was back in 1985
I still remember what a music reporter said about it:
"Play a motorhead lp at dubble speed and you have bathory"
