Silverwing is the last known recording by
Quorthon (
Bathory) before he died. The vocals are performed by
Jennie, who may or may not be his sister. It was a taste of what was to come from the pair; a melodic gothic style that I'm sure would've found an audience outside of
Quorthon's usual fan base, if it had continued.
In a fitting tribute to her brother’s(?) memory, Jennie does a version of
Song to Hall Up High, from
Bathory's own
Hammerheart (1990) album
. The music is unchanged but the female vocals imbue it with a very different emotional feeling.
Songs of Note:
Song to Hall Up High;
