This song is absoulutely stunning. A 6 minute version is on the gummo soundtrack, but the full version is 20 minutes long. I don't know what to say. I am just listening to it right now, and can't really explain it. Its a very beautiful song. Kind of fits along side SAW II only with cheesier sounds.

Its odd to think its been made by a satanist/nazi murderer in prison.

I gave this album ("Filosofem") a proper listen about a year ago, but the high pitched guitars were very repulsive for me at that time. (I like more the "fleshy" classic black metal guitars, like on Samael, or Opeth recordings) I remember "Dunkelheit" was quit ok, and I remember also some instrumental pieces. Was "Rungang um die..." one of them...?

Actually, it was the last album made before he went to prison.

Ok. I didnt know that. I bought "Daudi Balders" (The death of balder) and "Hlidskjälf" and i was mildly dissapointed and put off from Burzum in general. I think the sounds are really cheesy, but some of the tracks have some kind of magic, occult feel to them, i can see that. Can you reccomend me some better albums?

It's not that I like this guy's music. I've been into metal for some time now, and I just got to know him "by the way". As I said his guitars piss me off, they sound rather like very distorted synths, they lack power. Morover Varg's attitude is mega-pretentious, all this "dark", and "evil" shit, it's just gets boring, although it may have its justification in the fact that he is a criminal, and thus fulfilling the will of Satan through his actions. Lol. As "true" as you can get he is.

Well, I concur that his metal stuff is tripe. Very ameture. The fact that he murdered his friend and bandmate was awfull, and what not. And the whole "evil nazi satanist whatever" bullshit is bullshit.
But this song is special.

I love Burzum and Vargs black metal tracks are way better than most of the pure ambient compositions. His stuff remains timeless.
He has made some of the best black metal albums ever; Aske Det som en gang var Filosofem Hvis lyset tar oss
I think that most of you would really see the brilliance in his black metal tracks if you gave it a real chance.

It really reminds me of how I felt when I was about to hit bottom, and all I wanted to do was live in a small dying town and be as far away from people as possible. It sounds kind of dramatic and silly now, but that was the point just before things went really bad, and I hit probly the darkest point in my life. Things are better now, but I haven't heard anything else yet that describes that feeling better than this song.

Heh... If that included being homeless, staying in a shelter with a bunch of crackheads and other fucked up people (when you are perfectly normal and just want to get a place to stay) and nearly killing yourself every night, then maybe.

I thought this was pretty funny.
Varg talking about why he hasn't made any new stuff
...I was allowed to have a synthesizer for a few months in 1994 or 1995 and in 1998. After a few months with a synthesizer in the cell in 1998, I had to choose between my synthesizer and my laptop computer, because the prison authorities didn't let me have both at the same time (for "security reasons"), and I chose to have the computer in the cell, believing I could make music anyhow, by using some music program. But the prison authority had other ideas, claiming I didn't have an "extraordinary need" to have a music program enabling me to make music on the computer. So without a music program I couldn't make any more music from then on. That is actually the main reason I haven't released any records since 1999; to install a music program I need a CD-ROM, and all CDs are banned in this prison (for "security reasons").

some tracks on Hliðskjálf are great too.. especially Der Tod Wuotans (Wotans Death, right?), when it goes into the arpeggio melodies a minute or so into the track.. goosebumps!
