Well, I obviously disagree here, Burzum latest 2 albums are irrelevant to the scene as a whole, it's quite a fact if we just look at how it doesn't affect anything in the scene that much in the large scale of things, even more so considering the amount of excellent black metal that has been released this year, Varg can't keep up with the competition. Fallen was ok/good but compared to the hightlights of this year it doesn't stand a chance.

How about another Edward Cullen avatar for you if this one turns out to be a good listen as well. If it isn't good in your opinion, post a full album review on why you feel this way etc.

Someone stop this guy before he smashes his reputation to pieces by releasing two mediocre albums per year. Not that I ever liked him, but he was influential back in the day after all.


Smash his reputation? He's probably best known for being a convicted murderer and an unabashed racist

But as far as his musical reputation goes: I think he made more than enough quality old school black metal, to satisfy me anyway. I'm enjoying seeing Varg branch out and try more progressive things. It's refreshing to hear metal that doesn't sound like every other band. Really looking forward to hearing this as I really enjoyed Fallen.
