I don't think a person's views should really affect if you like their music or not, unless of course, they are using the music as a medium to push forward their views.

^^ troo

but this whole story is pretty fucked up tbh

Album Rating: 4.5

Exactly, Its not like ill start thinking like Varg if I listen to his music.

when i listen to black metal i think of icy mountains and grimness not church burning knife murderers!

I don't listen to black metal that much though.

Exactly. And Varg doesn't do that.

Yeah, I want to get into some of the more melodic stuff, but I'm being lazy about it as usual. >

Both are teh rulez. This album is also pretty accessible and owns in general.

No it's not.

Album Rating: 4.5

Well its nowhere near as inaccessible as his first three albums :-/

Yeah, but who would bother listening to those piles of shit?

Considering the last three tracks (adding up to 41 minutes) are almost exclusively ambient, I'd hardly consider this accessible.

Eh, i was going along the roads of "less brutal" than perhaps most enjoyable. Should have clarified that.

in regards to your post eakflanderyof, go to burzum.org and type in on the site searchbar "negro" (yes it sounds weird, but thats how i found it) it will show you the interview.

its not important though. i tried to stop listening to his music, but HLTO is too damn good. oddly enough, i told my dad about Varg's views to see what he thought, and he told me we have a lot of norwegian blood in our family. This Message Edited On 04.30.07

Did you ever consider that when he said "not to waste time on the negroid race" he meant they really weren't of any concern to him? Seeing as his beliefs are more on Euro-Pagan beliefs and keeping them intact, it's quite possible that he really couldn't care about blacks.

Album Rating: 4.5

Yeah I did. Although in an article written by him he says "it is impossible to be Pagan without being racist" It's not really important anymore because I will continue to listen to Burzum. He also used the expression "bush n*gger," which made me laugh. He's an idiot but he writes great music.
