░▓█████▓░╟─────────────────────────────────────RELEASE NOTES╢░▓█████▓░
░▓████▓░░║ ║░░▓████▓░
▄▀░████▓░▀║ Compared to the lackluster chaff of the Aske EP, ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ Burzum's 2nd full-length Det Som Engang Var ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ ('What Once Was') must be the wheat, because it's ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ an incredibly balanced offering that propels both ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ Vikerne's metallic and ambient elements beyond ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ the s/t debut, while slightly morphing the ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ landscape to incorporate a darker, bolder ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ production. We were given hints of this direction ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ from the EP tracks "Stemmen Fra Tü0è2rnet" and ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ the remake of "A Lost Forgotten Sad Spirit", ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ which were actually recorded later than Det Som ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ Engang Var and released first; but here upon the ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ sophomore it's embedded directly into quality ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ compositions that don't soon vacate the attention ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ span. ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ I also noticed a more prominent influence here ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ from Hellhammer and early Celtic Frost, that ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ being processed into the more virile, groove ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ laden riffs scattered about the metal tracks, not ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ unlike what Darkthrone were doing with their ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ amazing sophomore A Blaze in the Northern Sky, ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ but not quite so noisy or prominent. Det Som ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ Engang Var is perhaps less chilly and droning ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ than Burzum. Less ice remains nestled upon its ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ eaves. Less dryness or droning. However, that ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ tone has been replaced by a tangible maw of ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ darkness that immediately consumes the listener, ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ as if the iconic, evil fortress gates on the ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ cover were to swallow you whole. There's a ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ compelling amount of variation here that is not ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ always felt throughout Burzum's career, though ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ the focus on repetitious motifs has not been ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ utterly abandoned. This album also sees the ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ addition of clean vocals, which are somewhat ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ unpolished but add a new dimension to the sound; ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ and a mix of English and Norse lyrics that ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ heavily favor the latter. ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ The ambient segments are confined to three ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ tracks, beginning with the opener "Den Onde ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ Kysten (The Coast of Evil)" which is frankly ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ superb. Beautiful, tonal swelling curried through ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ brooding feedback and crass ambiance and hints of ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ longing, solemn majesty that are immediately ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ beaten to death by the abrupt burst that is "Key ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ to the Gate". "Han Som Reiste" is the sort of ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ thriving electronic medieval dirge that Vikernes ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ would later explore more broadly with his 1997 ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ MIDI synthesizer album Dauü0è8i Baldr. The last ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ would be "Svart Troner (Black Thrones)", the ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ outro, which is full of harsh, hissing ambiance, ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ unwieldy percussive strikes, eerie higher-pitched ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ backing synths and grueling chants and whispers. ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ I should also mention here the guitar piece "Naar ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ Himmelen Klarner (When the Sky Clears)", which ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ furthers the style used on "The Crying Orc" or ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ "Dominus Sathanas": simple and powerful ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ instrumental rhythm affixed with thick bass ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ accompaniment and some drums near its closure. ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ But as cool as these things are, the true ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ strength of Det Som Engang Var comes through its ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ strictly metallic passages. "Key to the Gate" is ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ perhaps the least of these, but it successfully ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ storms from a discordant, driving rhythm to the ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ creepy enclosures of its core bridge, an early ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ stab of suicidal, depressive notation that helped ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ launch a few hundred bands in the 21st century, ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ all intent on the same, minimalist torture. ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ However, Burzum takes us by surprise here with ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ some warmer, glorious melodies woven into the ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ latter half of the track. "En Ring Til Aa Herske ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ (One Ring to Rule)" introduces the chanting ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ vocals and the drudging, swaggering grooves to a ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ hypnotic level, as he lyrically hearkens back to ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ the very inspiration of the band name. "Lost ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ Wisdom" is my favorite here, in fact, one of my ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ favorites in the whole discography; Celtic Frost ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ styled swerving that alternates with a sheen of ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ glacial, rime-encrusted sadness and some of ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ Vikernes' most effective shrieking ever. ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ "Snu Mikrokosmos Tegn (Turn the Sign of ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ Microcosm)" is the most likely to wear out its ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ welcome, being over 9 minutes in length, but it ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ brilliantly shifts from a rather generic, ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ straight blast of thick black metal to an amazing ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ segment of plodding, numbing majesty at around ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ 3:30, and it continues to dance in and out of ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ this motif with some great if painfully simple ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ drumming. I found the insertion of the clean, ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ chanted vocals deeper in the bridge to be wholly ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ satisfactory, and around 8:20 he retrieves the ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ same, mesmerizing groove at exactly the right ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ time to send off the song. It's this sort of ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ decision which makes the man's songwriting so ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ good. ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ Det Som Engang Var is by no means a perfect ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ album, but it is substantial. The variation Varg ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ implies throughout the track list is welcome, and ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ the production still holds up very well. I didn't ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ enjoy it quite so much as the other major Norse ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ black metal album of 1993, Under a Funeral Moon, ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ but then I've never denied that I'm a sickly ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ Darkthrone fan to begin with. That said, I feel ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ that this sophomore is a step up from Burzum. I ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ would number at least three of these tracks among ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ his best ("Lost Wisdom", "Snu Mikrokosmos Tegn", ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ "En Ring Til Aa Herske"). I still listen to ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ fairly often as a whole, and it certainly belongs ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ in the collection of any discerning heretic or ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ cellar dweller. ║▀░▓████░▀▄
