The notorious Count is back with yet another addition to the black metal scene with his first English-titled album, Fallen. And while Varg's post-prison releases are a big deal just for the fact that a murderer's name is attached to the music, the material presented isn't exactly anything stunning. There is definitely something stellar about this album though: the cover art, William Adolphe Bouguereau's very own "Douleur d'amour". Unfortunately, the music doesn't reflect the beauty of the painting. Read more ›› |

Riffa are so catchy and memorable , but the music is too lighter than to be Black Metal , clean vocal ( with humming! in its style ) is not so pleasant .( as varg said in his site Fallen is so inspired by what we hear in Belus ) totally this album is a good one if you dont look for Black metal or some dark art!

Varg wasnt kidding when he said it combines the old, new and experimental. I personally like this better than Belus, and Belus, as far as im concerned, was great. And for whether its black metal or not, I dont really care. Its just good music.

It's really deep. I used to listen to Burzum in the rainy days only. I waited for the rain and it was perfect with the nature harmony and the melancholic atmosphere. it's just .. perfect. can't wait for the rain again ...

Fucking great album. Alot of clean vocal work - different but he's done it very well. Definitely an improvement on Belus in my opinion.

Written by Himann on 07.03.2011 at 11:08 I haven't downloaded the album so I have just checked out tracks from youtube, It's weird though since I don't see it as crap, it's at least 10 times better than the horribly monotonous and boring Belus and I like the clean vocals... But it's not so good either. I would probably give it a 7,0... Sio I don't know where a 7,0 falls on the scale of the bet. Maybe I should just change my avatar or custom name? Idk XD

Written by X-Ray Rod on 07.03.2011 at 13:09 Yeah I haven't really checked out the full album myself. I think the bet said that the album should suck for the two of you to be spared from any Edward Cullen related fate. Its not the best album in the world but I dont think it exactly sucks per se. Probably time for an avatar change IMO.

Written by Slayer666 on 09.03.2011 at 12:53 Yeah, I was lucky to find that one... The one with pink letter that said "faggot" was to clichee for my tastes. I preffer the "advice format". I can get used to it for the next months

<------------------ Surprisingly neuter. I'll get through the third track then have an insuppressible urge to put on one of his other albums. Any of his other albums (excluding the two dark ambient ones).

Written by wormdrink414 on 20.03.2011 at 09:21 Even Belus, because I see Fallen as a step forward from the very shitty Belus.

Written by X-Ray Rod on 20.03.2011 at 11:51 I kind of like Belus actually, but I'd take any of his pre-Dark Ambient stuff before it too. It suffers from the same lack of... something that Fallen does.

Written by wormdrink414 on 20.03.2011 at 20:23 Oh well, we agree to disagree  . I wonder if I'm the only one that has the radical idea that Varg should from now on do only clean vocals... His screams aren't on the same level as before... But I really enjoyed the use of clean vocals on both Belus and Fallen, I found it interesting and it sounded quite good together with the music.

Definitely dig the clean vocal styles too, and agree his harsh vocals are much worse than before. All in all it is an enjoyable listen; nothing new or anything but no one expected that to begin with. It's too bad there aren't any terribly slow atmospheric songs on here in the vein of Filosofem; this album seems to go at the same upper-mid pace that gets old.

I have written the review now. I'm not sure if you guys think it warrants a Bella, but I'll let you decide when I post it. Will post as soon as 90 days have passed.
