 | 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.

 | Hehe. Yeah. I also got to know him trough dabling a little with the metal scene. As far as that goes, i still think
 ulver is fucking excellent.

 | 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!
