As Quorthon hissel haes statit several times, it wis aften speculatit that he haed something tae dae wi the business an operation o Black Mark Productions, except for the concept an name o the label, which wad be referencit in the title o the 1987 release Under the Sign of the Black Mark.[1] Quorthon receivit permission frae the Tyfon Grammofon label - which wis awned bi Börje "Boss" Forsberg an o course featurt Bathory - tae uise his ain proxy-label on aw Bathory albums stairtin wi the sel-titled debut album frae 1984, but the label wisna foondit as a separate entity afore 1991.[1] Who did foond it remains disputit, but mony pynt tae Boss Forsberg.
