Burzum - Working On New Album


After 16 years in prison, Varg Vikernes of Burzum states in an interview with Norway's Dagbladet.no, that he has begun work on a so far untitled album.

Varg, who got released in May earlier this year, says in the interview that he has so far written 9 tracks for the album which is to be released next year. He also states that several labels has already shown interest in publishing, what is to be the first Burzum album in 10 years. He assured the fans not to worry, and that it will be a "true Burzum release".

In the interview Varg also speaks of a book he bas been writing during his imprisonment, that will feature the Norwegian Black Metal society, the murder, sentence and imprisonment through his own eyes. But it is yet to be published.

For some reason I'm more excited about the book than the album


As for the book, I hope he uses a ghost writer cause his own writing is simply horrendously atrocious (just read Vargsma to see what I mean)

Hmm, I guess I'll check that one out first, then. Thanks. I said I was more excited about the book 'cause I'm not really looking forward for that album. Even if he says to expect pure Burzum stuff, I'm kinda skeptic about that.

This is fascinating news. I will be curious about this upcoming album and this upcoming book. My opinion on the whole "to buy or not to buy from a murderer/arsonist/whatever" debate is that usually, I think it would be fine to buy a CD off of this man. That is, unless he would be writing a song with lyrics going "I killed Euronymous. And I'm proud of it!". I'm less likely to buy an album if something like that would occur within the music.

Well, looking forward to this.

People, you listen to these albums for the music. If you dont like the musicians political orientations or media statements than just ignore them. If your so interested in those things than fine, but dont make it an issue when it comes to their music.
Thanks.

Then why the hell is Kristian still writing music? His music was mediocre at best and the guy sound like a fucking canary that's being strangled while inhaling gas.

If you don't want to make it an issue for yourself fine by me, but please let me make it an issue for me if I want to.
Plus, like I said before I find Kristian's music mediocre at best.

I don't find his music that bad, but when talking about black metal, obviously, IMO, he is not the best out there, he is not a fucking holy cow or the god that many people are talking about. I have to accept that it is very annoying to listen to Burzum sometimes...

Maybe I'm alone in this, but I would like to hear an album that combines elements from before he was in prison to during his imprisonment -- black metal mixed with that ambient, etherreal stuff.

Either way it'll be cool to see what new stuff he has in mind

Interesting to see morals being discussed by black metal fans. If you're going to exclude work done by criminals from your CD collection, there's a nice little list of CD's you need to throw away and also a nice little set of good releases that you should avoid. If music is good then just listen to it without being a prat. Thinking about who the musician is, his history and all his petty crimes just sounds more like a pass time for teenagers to me. Good music is so scarce these days that its worth listening to even if its done by a dead pedo, although his kind of music is far from close to my taste. Its like saying: "I never listen to Satyricon because Satyr's pants are too tight". Lame.

I wonder why he still thinks the Norwegian Black Metal scene is so damn epic. It's no different and in some cases probably weaker than other communities.

Yeah, I know, I was being sarcastic. I am fully aware of who Varg is and all his rediculous antics. I always found it so ironic that Varg got into Tolkien.

KONRAD <3'S BURZUM LOL BFF YAY!

(and for all you idiots who can't shut the fuck up about mayhem, or nazis, or whatever, try reading the writings from his website. Burzum was more influential than mayhem IMO...not to mention nobody else in the band was good enough to lay down fresh bass tracks after they kicked varg out. My father is Jewish, I'm Christian, and neither of those facts negate the fact that Burzum is fucking awesome so HAH!)

If you legally change your name, the new one becomes your real name. Marcel's just keeping his "metal eliticist" attitude up'n running.
