Prepare for classics to be ruined.

Forgot that being a free man means having to pay the bills I guess

...Why?

Forgot that being a free man means having to pay the bills I guess [2]

i mean at least re-record war THIS IS HUH.... WOW!

Prepare for classics to be ruined. [2]

Hope this is Acapella.

I don't know how I feel about this.... I'll definitely be checking it out though

false krieg

lol

wolves in the throne room, burzum, the list could go on...

Aww varg you cunt, get a job.

Prepare for classics to be ruined [lost count]

I've lost all faith in Satanism.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO eventhough intresting

On the other hand, this is absolute jewry

Rofl 100% agree with crysis. Det Som Engang Var will be ruined more so that any others.

this is less ridiculous than his last two albums, at least

Guy may as well write new music, I think there's a greater chance he'll sell new material over re-released old stuff.

It's not like recording quality has really been an issue for Burzum fans in the past.

this is absolute jewry [2]

I wish he would go back to arms dealing again.

At least he is leaving Lost Wisdom alone.

Goodbye white noise.

He looks like Jeff Bridges in that picture.

"burzum dubstep brought to you by skrillex. "

I'd like to think he'd kill Sonny Moore on sight.

"Prepare for classics to be ruined."

Doubtful.

As long as he does vox like Belus and not Fallen.

Burzum Christmas album. Varg Vikerness brings a whole new dynamic to Jingle All The Way, alternating between passionate screeches of National Socialist fury and heartfelt guitar melody straight out of Santa's workshop.

As long as he does vox like Belus and not Fallen.

Doesn't Varg know that the most lucrative option for him would be to actually play a live show?

People will fly from all over the world for that shit.

He should just reinitiate the Buzum/Darkthrone tour that was supposed to happen in the early '90s.

He's pretty much senile by now though so we really can't blame him.

"Even if they were in the vein of Belus they still would be much worse than the originals."

What's wrong with the vocals on Belus?

Belus is a fucking solid record.

I just think he's lost a lot in terms of his voice over the past 15 years

Hes lost more than his voice.

I think he's trying different approaches with his vocals and has been since Filosofem.

That might just be me though...

hit or miss

Maybe so, but they're a lot more conventional and less interesting than the vocals on his classic stuff.

I don't see how his vocals on his old stuff are, "unconventional."

So many DSBM and screamo bands have vocals like that.

I meant for black metal in general. His newer vocals are a lot more along the lines of more traditional black metal vocals. They're just not really executed as well as many bands have done in the past, though.

Yeah sorry, tons of black metal bands with vocals like that. Please re-read my post.

That's not the point. Please re-read my posts.

Yeah, your point was that his vocals on the old stuff were unconventional, which isn't true.

All I can say is listen to more black metal.

I never said they were "unconventional". Shoulda went back and re-read like I said.

ya shit brb

listening to moar bm

There was no implication.

What are conventional black metal vocals? Pidgeon raped vocals like Varg's old stuff? Shrill as fuck shrieks like Nalgfar? Weird middle ranged grunts like Gaahl? Raspy high screams?

Yeah all of those styles are "conventional" black metal vocals.

wut about dani filth vox

Alcest - proof of how unconventional the vocals on the early Burzum records are.

forgot frog groans a la Inquisition and Immortal

tr00

well that's cool

frog groans

hehehe

at least it should be interesting regardless

re-recording but this time with worse production! thats black metal for you

gonna suck

Burzum: Now With Less Fuzz!

Burzum: Now With Less Good!

people gonna be mad cuz for kvlt u need bad produktion

This will be a failure of enormous proportions.

His getting back to his wife and kids has made him one pussy ass bitch. COME AT ME BRO

probably will suck, but im curious.

I think Varg actually being a competent musician now will make this material sound great, it might not (definitely won't) be the same, but it's all very good material, so I'm really struggling to see exactly how this can automatically be declared as "bad" when it's not even recorded yet...

because you cant recreate classics. change anything about them and they lose their charm.

IDK bro, I like hearing different versions of things to see how a musician has progressed, but that's just me.

This is like Star Wars except maybe not as bad.

George Lucas = Varg

Prepare for classics to be ruined.

and what would that one tiny thing be?

Dumb, dumb, dumb. Isn't this against every philosophy he utilized when creating these albums in the first place? Wasn't his intention to use as dark and dreary and low-grade of production gear as possible to aid in the music's darkness and "blackness"?

Sounds like someone is preparing to...yikes, I hate using this word...ahem..."sell out". Just never thought it would be fucking BURZUM of all people.

"http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d8pg8hesswE"

this should be what the entire compilation is like

oh no :[

With Varg's wife and children providing the vocals ala Dethklok.

i want to listen to camptown races now

He's getting old. Maybe he wants to ridicule himself completely. Maybe. Has anybody else noticed he's recently started looking like Odin..?

More Buffalo Bill than Odin.

Gotten soft in his old age, going to be doing Wrangler commercials soon.

"Dumb, dumb, dumb. Isn't this against every philosophy he utilized when creating these albums in the first place? Wasn't his intention to use as dark and dreary and low-grade of production gear as possible to aid in the music's darkness and "blackness"? "

have you heard his last two albums? the production isn't what i'd call "high grade", i think he's just finally found the sound he's been looking for

No hes just old and not the same angsty teenager he was when he recorded those albums.

Thus, he should leave them alone.

lets do er

well do er

He should just tour. Much better than destroying his so-called "classics" and alienating his older fans. Besides, he would definitely make a killing, even in this day-and-age of pirated music.

"No hes just old and not the same angsty teenager he was when he recorded those albums.

varg will crush you

i've been listening to zen arcade by husker du lately, and while the production isn't bad... i wonder what it would be like without the 80's punk scratchiness.
it'd be such a freaking classic for so many more people if it were re-released in a re-recorded fashion.

But the "real" fans would hate it because it wouldn't sound "genuine" anymore.

Prepare for classics to be ruined.

I would have enlarged this but Ire beat me to my own joke.

fuck sigh hate this band so much

If George Lucas has taught us anything, it's that you never, ever, ever fuck with the originals. Ever. Or at the very least if you do, make sure the originals are still available for purchase along-side the newly remastered/recorded/revamped ones. I'd knock a bitch out to have the original Star Wars trilogy on Blu-Ray, without all of his retarded "additions".

I heard he's going for a more metalcore sound.

Nah, i'm hoping for a Dubstep collabs...

Re-recording albums seems like the least black metal thing you can possibly do.

blackstep

blackpeople

this looks really fake

It's certainly not fake, Plastic Head has it for pre-order on their site:

http://www.plastichead.com/catalogue.asp?ex=fitem&verb=F&target=BYE009CD

Ahahahahaha you can buy a Burzum coffee mug?

That's the most krieg merchandising ever hahahahahaha.

And it'll still sound like someone recorded it on a $20 computer microphone.

I think I'd rather have his book on sorcery and religion in ancient Scandinavia lol.

"Ahahahahaha you can buy a Burzum coffee mug?"

coffee...........black

he's also coming out with a book "Sorcery and Religion in Ancient Scandinavia"

edit- fuck angel beat me to it

I bet his coffee mug turns your coffee ice cold with permafrost or some shit.

I must have this coffee mug and i dont even drink coffee.

His house is going to be such a tourist trap. Wonder if he's having any problem with over zealous fans.

Getting killed by a crazy fan is pretty kvlt not gonna lie.

Worshipping satan doesn't pay the bills

Church burning is not a profitable enterprise.

Varg should have learned by now that there's always money in the banana stand
But he just had to burn it down

But it's ok, he looks like Merlin now.

I love that movie
So underrated

Let's just hope this isn't taken a step further and he doesn't fuck with Filosofem and Hvis Lyset.

i want to trick or treat vargs house on halloween. wonder if he passes out candy. kvlt, stale candy. brands youve never heard of before.

I bet they will sound the exact same

kvlt, stale, abandoned gas station candy.

in addition, Neige will be joining the lineup to contribute vocals and fairy dust

Getting killed by a crazy fan is pretty kvlt not gonna lie.



Tell that to pantera

Prepare for classics to be ruined. [fuck knows]

Gonna get me a mug and pretend to drink coffee from it (when it will end up just being whiskey at 9am at work.).

what if this is fucking awesome

then i'll suck a dick :]

oh wait! i'd do that anyway! [:

^good dude

Haha.. this collection of comments is awesome. I wanna frame them all.

The album's gonna suck but you take what you can get...

Can't imagine what Varg is thinking . Nobody has ever succeeded redoing their earlier material . I'll be open minded enough to hear it though.
On a side note; talked to a waiter at the Norway pavilion who told me how his church was bunt down by Varg. Interesting story.

why the hell would someone do this? can he not write anymore?

this leaked. and it's not as bad as i thought it would be. :]
