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.

Is he considered more influential musically than Darkthrone and other first wave BM bands?
― Inevitable stupid dubstep mix (chap), Wednesday, 16 February 2011 03:06 (thirteen years ago) link
First wave is 80s Hellhammer/Celtic Frost/Sodom/Bathory and but I don't think it's in any way controversial to consider Vikernes the major musical innovater of the "big 4" that were shaping the BM revival circa 90/91. In those days Darkthrone was 50% Celtic Frost/50% Bathory (just listen to A Blaze...), Immortal 100% Bathory worship and Mayhem had only just stopped being a Venom/Sodom clone. When the S/T came out nobody else was doing the combination of ambient soundscapes, hypnotic 10+ minute songs with one riff/motif or those typical open sting chords and arpeggios. Burzum was one of the first metal bands to succesfully focus on atmospherics and textures exclusively, and had nothing in common with the "riff salad" songwriting style in contemporary death/thrash/black. I think it's fair to consider Darkthrone, Mayhem and Immortal as reviving and building on the heritage of the first wave BM, and Burzum as changing it into something completely new altogether.
The only band with a comparable musical influence on BM was Mayhem (also those hypnotic 'nordic' riffs coupled with *very* fast playing) but even there Varg played on their debut. It's also no coincidence that Varg was asked to do the lyrics for Transilvanian Hunger, the point where Darkthrone went truly minimalist, and again on their most Burzumesque song, "Quintessence".

The Burzums was the musical project by Charlie "Varg" Vikernes. It began during 1961 in Bergen, California and quickly became prominent within the early Californian surf scene. During 1962 and 1963, The Burzums recorded four albums; however, in 1964 Vikernes was convicted and imprisoned for using cuss words in public to describe guitarist Øystein "Euronymous" Aarseth, and the mild intimidation of the congregations of several milk bars and several churches. While imprisoned, Vikernes recorded two really poor albums in the dark ambient surf style.
Dunkelheit first featured on the Burzums' legendary surf LP Filosofem (literally "Surf's Up" in English) recorded on a low budget in the back of a surf shop in Bergen, California using an Edison Phonograph, the cheapest instruments available to Varg and other awesome gadgets to get that famously warm Trve Kvlt sound of sand, sun and surf.

Charlie? From what I recal, his birth name was Christian, but he got rid of it (for understandable reasons, given his satanic faith...)

Having just started dipping into black metal earlier this year, the first band that really yanked me to attention was Darkthrone... Several on this board gently suggested to seek out the works of Varg, so I've started. So far all I've picked up is Det Som Engang Var, but I've got Filosofem on the way and I'm really curious about the two keyboard records. Det Som Engang Var is WAY different than I was expecting--there's a real, I don't know how exactly to say it, clarity of expression underlying the whole thing. I guess I was expecting more of that Darkthrone-y wash and rush, but this is pretty stately stuff. ("Key to the Gate" actually reminds me of Slint!) I have to admit, I was somewhat skeptical of the "dude's a scumbag but some of the stuff is undeniably great" line, but I'll be damned if the shit doesn't grab you. Sorry, mom.

presumably SD ordered a big consignment of these from the same manufacturers that supply Blue Banana/HMV/countless eBay and Amazon shops, so I don't really figure it makes much difference where you buy it from
