New Burzum Material Written

2009-07-06 by Trey STAFF | 123 Comments
In a very extensive interview with Norway's Dagbladet webzine that also includes excerpts from his upcoming book, Varg Vikernes revealed that he already has nine songs written for an upcoming Burzum album. He also said that there are already multiple labels interested in issuing the first Burzum album in eleven years - an album he referred to as a "real Burzum" metal album.

For some interesting insight into the Norwegian black metal scene of the nineties as well as book quotes and an interview:

No offense, but imo Varg's screams are pretty weak. I've never been fond of most black metal vocalists, but Varg's probably one of the worst I've heard, his voice cracked several times on the albums and he sounded out of breath. He's no Abbath/Dead/Neige/Satyr, then again, he might be better now.

Also, he should hire a new drummer, the drumming on the old albums sucked.

His drumming got a lot better as the albums went on
His screams fit perfectly into what was Burzum

his music generally doesn't incorporate the tempo's those drummers employ. His is very mid tempo. The like i said, he doesn't need a technical drummer...that would ruin his sound

Any good drummer knows how to keep the song on track through a steady rhythm section which Varg did quite perfectly on his older releases. Black metal = repeditive drumming. It's not about the drum work dude.

I've heard so many different stories about why he killed Euronymous. I think it was more for the money issues of Euronymous's label, then him trying to kill Varg. Euronymous didnt to me really sound like the type that could kill anyone.

I really dislike this guy's vocals and his drumming, but he wrote some damn catchy riffs. I still think that most of the attention he receives is because he used to burn down churches and he killed someone rather than because of his music

Did anyone read about how the guy from Malevolent Creation shot some homeless crackhead in the face two times and killed him a few days ago? I guess the crackhead was robbing a store and shot at the MC dude a few times. These skinny-ass, make up wearing, black metal fucks would have probably shit their leather pants and ran back into the forest to tell the squirrels about it.
