░▓█████▓░╟─────────────────────────────────────RELEASE NOTES╢░▓█████▓░
░▓████▓░░║ ║░░▓████▓░
▄▀░████▓░▀║ The lone wanderer in mist. The shade itself. The ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ black and white image which graces the cover of ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ the 1992 Burzum s/t debut could not be more ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ suited to the musician behind its conception, for ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ Varg Vikernes (Count Grishnackh) has always seen ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ fit to tread a path apart, of his own making, for ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ better or worse. But outside of the notoriety ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ this individual has created through his ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ statements and actions, Burzum is actually a ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ pretty poignant album because of the fundamentals ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ it established. Vikernes is by no means the first ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ human being to write and perform all instruments ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ on an album (even a metal album) himself, but as ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ far as the solitary aesthetic within this ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ particular genre, the 'one man' black metal band, ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ its obvious that the breadcrumb aspirations of ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ many future suitors could be traced back to this ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ particular Norse granary. ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ For another, Vikernes had set out to separate ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ himself from what he considered dangerous trend ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ and mediocrity within the reaches of extreme ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ metal, the ever technically inclined gear whoring ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ that death metal had become in its incessant ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ strive towards brutality. Burzum is not the work ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ of a man hanging out about his local music store ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ offering fellatio to the latest brand name ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ wizardry, but that of a minimalist. One who ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ enters the audio market with nothing other than a ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ daring imagination and whatever instruments are ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ on hand. I've got no particular gripe with ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ musicians who are particular about what equipment ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ they use, mind you. To each his own. Engineering, ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ tonal quality and the visual aesthetics of ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ instruments and amplifiers are obviously of great ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ importance to a great many composers and ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ performers. However, I would be lying to say that ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ I didn't find Varg's ethics for the time to be ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ refreshing; the Burzum album itself is ample ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ proof that such a philosophy could translate into ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ memorable, important music. ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ And memorable this debut is, as one of the most ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ primal offerings of its variety, yet satisfyingly ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ structured. This is a cut above demo or rehearsal ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ level quality, but implicitly simple. You won't ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ hear the crashing calamity of Venom at the dawn ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ of the 80s, or the first three ripping Bathory ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ LPs, but a contrast of calm, flowing melodies and ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ Varg's wraith-like, shrieking vocals which felt ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ borne more of direct pain than pleasing harmony; ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ as if he was stabbing himself in the foot while ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ hurtling dark promises into the studio ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ microphone, howling as often as delivering the ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ lyrics. The drums are competent but dry, tinny ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ cadences delivered through slow to mid paces, ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ heavier on the snare and cymbals than the bass ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ and toms. The axes shorn of repetitious, carnal ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ melodies that eschew complexity for dramatic ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ desolation; the few lead lines kept close to the ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ rhythmic skeleton (as in "Ea, Lord of the ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ Depths"). The bass is the antithesis of rocket ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ science, as it too hovers very near the guitar ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ passages, a shadow of certainty. ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ The consistency of its content is the one region ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ in which this album suffers, albeit a very mild ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ ailment. The first 5-6 tracks are captivating, ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ but once it spins off into its more expansive ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ pieces like "A Lost Forgotten Sad Spirit" or "My ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ Journey to the Stars", I got the impression that ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ the riffs were overwrought and slowly lost their ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ gathered luster. Not the case for "Feeble Screams ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ from Forests Unknown", with its immediate charge ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ into harrowing, belligerent agony, or the subtly ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ shifts in "Ea, Lord of the Depths" (the ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ alternating chord pattern at 2:20 is stupendously ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ eerie and enthralling). Not the case either for ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ "Spell of Destruction's" bleak crawling, or the ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ abrupt shift towards straight, dirty heavy metal ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ that is "War" (with a central riff reminiscent of ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ Destruction's "Curse the Gods", or the bridge of ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ Sabbath's legendary "Symptom of the Universe"). ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ But "A Lost Forgotten Sad Spirit" taunts us with ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ a few mesmeric passages and then beats us in the ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ face with them until we're numb of being numb; ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ and the same could almost be said for "My Journey ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ to the Stars", 1-2 decent riffs and transitions ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ but ultimately the guitars and double bass drive ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ are not all that appealing. ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ Burzum also features a few ambient excursions, ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ perhaps an unintended prospectus on what was to ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ follow on ensuing efforts, but tasteful enough. ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ "Channeling the Power of Souls into a New God" is ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ simply a pair of primitive synth lines, one ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ droning powerfully the with backing notes, the ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ other repeating a melancholic, softer pattern ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ alongside, almost like some mausoleum in a ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ primitive video game soundtrack. "Dungeons of ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ Darkness" is the more interesting, with a dark ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ swell of implied subterranean atmosphere that ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ slowly erupts into loose percussion, tumescent ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ synthesizers capped off in freakish electrodes. ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ There's also "The Crying Orc", which is less than ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ a minute of simple guitar melodies ringing off ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ into the mists, but the notation here isn't given ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ the time it would need to manifest the listener's ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ sorrow. ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ In the end, I found there to be about 40 out of ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ 48 minutes here which have compelled me through ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ the years to revisit. This is raw imagination, ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ stripped of excess ballast and sincere in its ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ reproach towards humanity, evoked here through ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ lyrical libations to Babylonian myth ("Ea"), ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ fantasy, destruction and dour mysticism. Burzum ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ is not the most impressive of Varg's albums in ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ hindsight, but it lays much of the brickwork that ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ favorites like Filosofem and Hvis Lyset Tar Oss ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ would stand upon, and it speaks with a voice of ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ its own, a frightening and permeating chill at ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ any depth of comprehension. As a work of ║▀░▓████░▀▄
▄▀░████▓░▀║ influence, it drowns even that. ║▀░▓████░▀▄
