This band needs no introduction.

To start things off, what do people think of Vargs' writings about paganism that are posted on his website ([url](www.burzum.org)[/url]?

Damn, I was looking into the 2010 reissue of the Burzum/Aske compilation, which means the featured version of A Lost Forgotten Sad Spirit is the very same of the debut. Still, thank you very much for the report

No problem.

Just to make it clearer, I think it's like this:

Burzum: Original version
Aske: Samoth version
Burzum/Aske (original): Samoth version
Burzum/Aske (after jail version): Both versions

Yeah, right. Also this Burzum/Aske 2010 reissue is the first time the debut was "fully" released on CD.

Well it (Burzum - Burzum) was released by Deathlike Silence Productions, so I'm not sure what you mean.

Yeah, Deathlike Silence released it, but only three diferent pressings all in vynil, and I'm sure it was not a worldwide release...

Watched it yesterday too, and couldn't help myself laughing a bit when the first thing Varg does is tell all over again his side of the Euronymous murder as if he was still trying to convince someone he was inocent

Hmmmmm otherwise, well not much to say. Basically him and his wife telling their side of the story when they recently got arrested. Which isn't a bad thing considering how clumsy the autorities were. The "survival" part at the end was quite fun and interesting.

It still cracks me up that Varg now goes by name Louis Cachet.
I guess it's better than Christian?

Also , behold! necroposting in black metal thread! (I have waited 12 years to make this joke).

The thing could be off from him Varg is that he is racist hating black negroid ppl. Im asian liking his music, but racism should be ended cuz its stupid. Ive met bunch of black ppl in usa, they are no different to white in terms of both physical strength emotion quality and even intellectual brain. One thing in americs black ppl are even stronger physically than whites.

Some sources didn't got the memo that Varg's screaming is not due the depression but sue to he being a shit singer.
We all heard his latter work - he can hum, and maybe sing a lullaby but he cannot sing for shit. So, I guess he had 2 options in early 90s: try to imitate Bathory or imitate Mayhem and well he chose the latter - which is fair since most of Norwegian bands chose the same.

To be fair Varg would be prime candidate for discussion on "Can we separate art and the artist" so...

Well, imitating Mayhem is pretty hard, tho...

I haven't listened to Burzum for a while but if I remember correctly, they were popping up in my Spotify recommendations a few years ago in winter, maybe even last year. Winter is pretty much here now with them long dark nights and Dunkelheit is quite atmospheric. I much prefer Ulver though.

Ae, it's winter in New Zealand in June, like December in Sweden. No snow in my neighbourhood but it's dark and rains a lot.

And that's the plan to escape the winter and get some nice northern summer sun. And this means I most likely won't be listening to Burzum at all; it's probably gonna be some upbeat summer pop music most likely.

That doesn’t make sense, because Aske wasn’t officially released until 1993. The only copies that existed before that were a few hand-labeled TDK and Maxell tapes with a xeroxed cover that Varg and Tomas "Samoth" Haugen personally handed out to close friends and to two or three labels. The title "Aske" does not even appear on that tape, but the tracklists are identical. Only a few copies of the Inn I Drømmens Slott cassette survived the 1990s and even photos of it are rare nowadays.
Are you absolutely sure you own one of those lost tapes from 1992?

Say what you want but I have not seen more comprehensive collection of anything related to a band than Burzum's official site. It is like a goddamn library of anything remotely mentioning Varg (sorry Louis).In multiple languages too.
