Official cover revealed





It's been 11 long years and now the world will see the return of Burzum. The highly anticipated new album is entitled "Belus" after the name of the ancient European solar deity of light and innocence. "Belus" is not a religious album or an anti-religious album, nor is it a political one, but an attempt to explore the myths about Belus and unveil the oldest roots of our cultural heritage. The album deals with the death of Belus, his sombre journey through the realm of death and his magnificent return. In essence the album and the story of Belus is meant to be an entertaining story about something that once upon a time played a major role in the forming and shaping of Europe.

[I]"The album has been made according to my heart and spirit, and not to fit into any particular genre or category, or to live up to anyone's obvious expectations"[/I]. The music can best be compared to the music of some of the old Burzum albums; in particular the ground breaking "Hvis Lyset Tar Oss" and the atmospheric brilliances of "Filosofem", only the ambient parts present on these albums has been almost completely left out on "Belus". [I]"There is no special reason for this, other than coincidence and the fact that I have for some time made more and better music on the guitar rather than on the keyboard". [/I]

[I]"Inspiration for the album has come from a variety of sources, and I find my inspiration from fairy tales and myths, from classical music, from memories of what once was, from traditional music, from fantasy, from the wind and weather, from deep forests and running water, from the sky and the sunset, from misty mountains and from yellow leaves falling from age old trees".[/I]

[I]"My ambition with "Belus" is to create something I - and hopefully others too - can listen to for years and years to come without ever growing tired of it, and at the same time to share with my audience the experience of getting to know Belus, as he might have been perceived by the ancient Europeans".[/I] The combination of lyrics and music makes this a fairy tale different from most others, and should appeal to all those who like transcendental music and love to see different things from a different perspective. [I]"If I can make you dream when listening to this album, I believe I have done a good job".[/I]

[I]"I am aware of the black metal association with the name Burzum, and I have no real and serious problem with that, but I personally see no reason to place "Belus" in any category. I think "Belus" musically transcends all existing categories, but if I have to choose one - and for the sake of simplicity - I will simply place it in the metal category".[/I]

"Belus" will be released worldwide on Byelobog Productions on the 8th March 2010.

weak cover

Yeah, I ca see how people will say that, sort of plain. But idk, I think it sort of works.

its an alright cover

comes out just in time for my birthday as well, cool.

The cover isn't bad. The logo is a big change though. I kind of like it.

burzum cover is awesome tbh

i cant wait

for the lazy and uninitiated

the black part is a tree right

kind of looks like bad mspaint

turn your brightness up

uhhh

That logo/art doesn't really fit the tone anything Burzum has done yet so maybe this actually will be something totally different from him.

I'm stoked.

lol wtf i had my brightness all the way down and it just looked like a big black blob. Even with the brightness up it still looks lame, but whatever.

I'm listening to Windir for the first time in like two years and I'm really not impressed.

if you're not listening to arntor then thats to be expected

ya i did the same

1184 is the best windir

i like likferd too even though its pretty different

Blasting Journey To The End while driving is a good time.

the logo looks like the opeth logo

my computer downright refuses to load the pic

i hope this does not fall flat in the face of hype and is at least decent

I have high hopes, Varg hasn't done a bad metal album, so I don't see why I should be so skeptical.

The album cover isn't his best but it's cool enough, logo is fine.

Sucks, dude.

[QUOTE]if you're not listening to arntor then thats to be expected[/QUOTE]

1184 is excellent and has one of the best Windir songs: Journey to the End.

[QUOTE=Angmar;17694839]logo is fine.[/QUOTE]

ya, its a cool font

It's the first album cover that isn't a drawing. Which is kind of cool. Better than the cover for some of the old albums like Daudi Baldurs and Det Som Engang Var.

another retarded post by fatalenergy

srsly this album art looks like 15 minutes in photoshop js

and that "tree" on the left makes it so ugly

Cover is fine, it doesn't need to be some intricate painting to serve it's purpose.

looks better in b/w

I'm actually not going to listen to this album expecting black metal, really. I'm not saying this is a bad thing, I just think he's going to stray away from it a bit to try new things, which is fine. People will probably cry about it, but w/e.

[QUOTE=Carl Sagan;17695374]looks better in b/w[/QUOTE]

It definitely would, the black blob tree contrasts way too unrealistically with the surrounding forest, it would obviously still just be a brown trunk because the lighting is too bright and warm for it to be otherwise.

yeah from what he wrote it doesnt sound like its going to be straight bm or anything

i dunno

The tree is obviously dark because we're behind it and the light is in front of it. Contrasts.

the tree is actually dark because it is infested with negroid termites

Wouldn't look like that regardless, I've been in the woods before~

Are you sure because I see that happen all the time

yall dont know shti bout standin behind no trees
