2024 marks 20 years since the passing of Thomas ‘Quorthon’ Forsberg. Quorthon is widely regarded as one of the most influential musicians and composers in the world of extreme metal. It’s safe to say that Black Metal as we know it today would never have been the same without the music of Bathory. The trademark riffing, the production and all over aesthetic is omnipresent in all the bands that has later made their mark on the genre.

On the final day of Beyond the Gates 2024 a massive line-up featuring members and ex members from bands like Aura noir, Bathory, Darvaza, Emperor official, Enslaved, Gorgoroth, The True Mayhem, Primordial, Satyricon, WATAIN and Whoredom Rife will gather in Grieghallen to pay tribute to Quorthon’s legacy and the music of Bathory.

The concert will be rounded off with a spectacular production, elevating the music and the imagery of the legendary band like you’ve never seen before.
