burzum

blecch

i heard the whole thing. it's badass and weird

its leaked???

this one even has tremolo picking!!!

sounds like there's some subliminal messaging going on too w/ him mumbling stuff & all . . . "LISTEN TO PETER BJORN & JOHN!, LISTEN TO PETER BJORN & JOHN!"

now it sounds like he's having one hell of a puke

it leaked the other day there in a shitty bitrate

I got a leak

First impression: Belus v2, but better riffs.

Belus was what, mostly written before he went to jail? Maybe this was too?

i figured mostly written while in jail and kept in his brain until release, also for time in jail he did have a guitar

If "written before he went to jail" is another way of saying "hasn't had a new idea in 20 years," then yeah.

ding dong you're wrong

unperson otmfm

are we gonna go through this every album?

Why shouldn't we? I'm not shouting "RACIST ARSONIST MURDERER" (not right now, anyway)...I'm just saying his music is boring and one-note (or one-chord, if you like).

Isn't the latter kind of the point?

decidedly dingy and drab riffs

lol

EXCLUSIVE: BURZUM LAUNCHES CLOTHING LINE

Apologies for the blatant self-promotion, but I think this is something MS readers will actually be stoked on: I am starting a BURZUM clothing line! It’s been a crazy six months or so of negotiating with Varg’s people, designing the product, coordinating with all our vendors in Asia (did you know they take Chinese New Year off for like two entire weeks?!), but we are only a few months away from launch! The clothing line will be available this spring at Hot Topic, Spencer’s Gifts, and Journeys, but we wanted to give you a sneak preview of some of the most exciting SKUs.

Think of it as somewhat of a re-imagining of the BURZUM brand — a fresh update that makes the brand relevant to the new generation of consumers. With metal more popular than ever, and bands like Suiside Silence and Bring Me The Horizon moving massive quantities of merch, we figured that it was time to for BURZUM to get the recognition they deserve for all the amazing music (and ideas) they’ve produced over the years. We’d like to think that these items breathe new life into the brand, while never losing sight of the brand’s heritage. But enough about us — check out this exclusive sneak preview and let us know what you think!

Good I need a new Burzum lighter.

The probability of this clothing line being the really true truth is 100% imo.

you think there will be burn your own church replicas with Count Grishnackh action figures?

lol @ the idea varg would endorse a pot leaf design or anything w/ neon colors, also lol @ "they"

Stan has faith in it

lol that anyone could miss the joke in any of this but esp "mesh shorts, ideal for blasting your quads at the gym"

why are you quoting that

are you worried i was personally accusing you or something

just making it clear

I know there's no way of proving it, it's just a feeling, but in my heart I truly & sincerely believe that if Varg weren't, y'know, The Great And Terrible Varg, nobody but nobody outside of the deepest kvlt dudes would give half a shit about his stuff any more than they care about dozens of Russian BM bands making the exact same kinda music that Varg makes, year in & year out. Sure ok: he's the originator! Give that man a cigar and ask him to write something interesting.

smh

xp not a doubt in my mind, but I feel like he's far from the only dude one could make this claim about.

Agree 1000%.

I just listened to this and lol

this is bad music

i listen to tons of shit that sounds like burzum (pre-prison, prison, and post-prison eras) and i am not a "deepest kvlt dude" and i still find his shit interesting, this album more than the last one, and the last one i liked, too. i think people just want to be tired of varg so only give the records half a listen or care, also how is "only the ultimate fans of his genre would like him if you stripped away the image bullshit" an insult anyway!

I find this album very interesting. Belus felt like an exercise (albeit a well executed one), but Fallen feels like a real breakthrough, there's a lot of subtlety, the melodies are the strongest of holistic career.

Stupid iPhone autocorrect. "His career", not holistic!

prefer "holistic career" and would ask you to consider it before we go to press

holistic career makes sense kinda

also roxy yes u r deep kvlt, look at u dividing varg's career up into pre-prison, prison, and post-prison eras without any need for explanation, face it friend you are 100% kvlt, that is cool wear it like a badge imo

that's a lotta p's

hi aero
