band: Bathory
song: Flash of the Silver-Hammer
album: Nordland II
genre: viking metal
year: 2003
disclaimer: I do not own anything related to Bathory. I'm just a fan who loves viking
metal and have been a bit miffed at the lack of tabs for Quorthon's viking songs. So here
I am again with another Bathory tab. Special thanks to YouTube user swedisheinherjer and
Ancient Ascendant for putting me on the right path with this song.
tuning is drop C for this tab (C G C F A D), but this can be played in C tuning, just
change the dropped chords to power chords and everything above low C is moved down the
neck (towards your strumming hand) two frets.
