Burzum - More Anthology Details Available
BW&BK has received the following Burzum press release:
"This one-man band retains a vital roll in the early development of Norway's famed black metal scene. His contributions to what was once merely a small circle of friends grew to immense popularity, the genre now having sold hundreds of thousands of records around the globe. Compared to his peers - Mayhem, Darkthrone, Gorgoroth, Immortal - Burzum possessed a very distinct sound. Using ancient mythology as his lyrical muse (the very name Burzum coming from J.R.R. Tolkien's Lord of the Rings), he became known for fearless experimentation; each record expanding on previous efforts.
"Anthology" is a special first-time collection of material that spans the musician's ten-plus year recording legacy; most unfortunately still unavailable for US fans (other than pricey imports). Featuring selections from each of his six albums (and including one from his popular EP "Aske"), "Anthology" is anticipated to be a highly sought-after recording for long-time fans and those curious newcomers who up-til-now only knew of the name and not had opportunity to bear witness to the musician's blackened fruit."
The Burzum Anthology is due out on May 13th via Candlelight Records.

Just buy his albums. There isn't anything on here you can't find somewhere else. However, it is good that his material is actually being released on a bigger label so more people can get a hold of it. Until now I'm pretty sure his keyboard only albums are the only ones that are easy to find, atleast here in the US, but thats what ebay and amazon are for.

Umm...I'm pretty sure I've seen the Burzum Anthology in stores in Australia, and a couple of weeks ago at that. Might be a different one, but I doubt it. Weird.

Written by LeChron James on 13.04.2008 at 09:15 I agree, while he's in prison he can't make music like he used to, they only let him play a sinthysizer!!! And also it is said that he will release another album when he's out For now, I sleep

Written by Hyvaarin on 13.04.2008 at 14:13 Perhaps the Draugen Rarities? I've been wondering if I should pick that up, but I don't think I will, since I already have Burzum/Aske, Det Som & Hvis.

Written by Lucas on 14.04.2008 at 13:57 Nup, definitely not the Draguen Rarities thing. The cover of the thing I saw was a version of the famous mean-pose-with-mace Varg picture, with (I think) a kind of brownish tinge to it.
