Twilight of the Gods is the sixth studio album by Swedish extreme metal band Bathory.
It continues the exploration of the newly created Viking metal style, and also displays heavy epic doom and classical influences; it is titled after an opera by Wagner.
It is a mid-tempo, more acoustic album than previous Bathory releases, though it follows on from Hammerheart.
Of significance is Quorthon's total control of the album, playing all electric and acoustic guitar, keyboards, bass, and drum programming.
The song "Hammerheart" is based on Gustav Holst's Jupiter from his 1918 The Planets suite.
