The last track on this is actually pretty decent, it's still repetitive as hell but at least it has a little bit of dynamics to it.

Agree w/ Ampho about the last track. I actually enjoy that one quite a bit. It's unfortunate that it comes at the end of the album because at that point it kind of blends into the monotony.
It was the first track I ever heard from this though (just randomly sampled on YouTube) and I didn't quite get the hate until I heard the full thing. I still don't hate this, but it drags a lot.

Expected the worst, it wasn't as bad as I'd imagined. Average affair, I've heard worse. Just sounds like a soundtrack to a mid 90's PC RPG game.

It has some weird charm. Just like a madman painting a black square on a blank canvas, looking at it thoughtfully. Then finally turning his head, saying: "I am Odin"

Last track was solid. Infact, minus some really horrible repetition, it's really quite listenable.

Hermoðr Á Helferð and Illa Tiðandi are the best songs on here. it's weird, sometimes burzums incredible repetition can kill off a good idea, but sometimes it can get you somewhere beautiful.

A genius piece of work. The fact that he did it all with a shitty keyboard is just incredible. With proper instrumentation it would be a symphonic masterpiece.
If you are a fan of 'Tomhet' or 'Rundtgåing Av Den Transcendentale Egenhetens Støtte', I don't see how you could dislike this album.
Dauði Baldrs is a magical, medieval ambient record. It is a concept album on Norse mythology. Following his neo-Paganism roots, Vikernes channeled his passion and darkness into something truly creative and compelling.
One must listen to the album a few times to truly appreciate it. Only then can you fully visualize the beautiful imagery of this album. Lyrics are not necessary to conjure up the themes, only your mind.
The atmosphere of the record is exceptional. The title track is gloomy, spooky, bringing up a feelings of isolation. Imagine yourself locked in the bottom of dark dungeon, in agony, awaiting your fate. The mood of the second song, Hermoðr Á Helferð, is the complete opposite. A simple repetitive piano loop complimented by violins give you a sense of happier times, on journey, with no consequences.
This album is proof that simplicity and repetition in the haunting melodies can create a stunning musical piece.
The final track, Móti Ragnarǫkum is the peak of the album and one of Burzum's finest ambient pieces to date. The song is the single feeling of loss and hope. As the world comes to an end, there are feelings of happiness in remembrance of what once was, but also the feeling of sadness that nothing more can be experienced. Although the goodness will be washed away, so will disease and wickedness. As the Earth is cleansed in fire and then submerged to the depths, there is that hope... The hope that the world will resurface anew and feritle and life will begin without contamination.
