A pair of empty eyes, on a face absent of any trace of...life? This is the image that comes to my mind as the first chord of Dunkelheit is picked, and persists, with different variations, throughout this jewel. An incomplete, and yet, mature and developed album, Filosofem must be the Count's deepest creation. Most of its charm comes from the way it has been recorded. Black Metal has always been about atmosphere, and honestly, one can almost see the darkness while listening to Filosofem. Read more ›› |

The universe, perfectly balanced as Thanos would want it. I immediately liked Thanos in Infinity War and it was the first time I had heard of him or seen him; can't wait for the End Game come April. I now no longer agree with Thanos that the universe should be perfectly balanced; excess and scarcity are what make life worth living. This album is the perfect balance between three excellent tracks and three mind-numbingly horrible tracks: the best album to be rated at exactly 5.0. Read more ›› |

Are those German translations in the lyrics written by Varg himself? If so, his art has just gained additional respect from me. It's super poetically written - way more elegant than the English lyrics! Although, there is an inconsistency: Quote: The German line translates to: "I wonder why life must be a suffering that lasts eternally". It does sound like he says "life", and I can't think of a synonym for "suffering" that sounds kind of like "life". But the German lyric makes far more sense in the context of the rest of the song, since at the beginning of the song he talks of "pain that lasts eternally".
