Cool Track/s : Ea, Lord of The Depth, My Jouney To The Stars
Rate : 9 / 10

Burzum began in 1991 as a prominent and influential Norwegian black metal solo project of Varg Vikernes (born Kristian Vikernes). Originally, he used the pseudonym Count Grishnackh. Burzum was instrumental in the crystallisation of early black metal, much of which is due to the infamy attributed to Vikernes since the murder of his former bandmate (Varg played bass on one of Mayhem's albums) Øystein Aarseth, who is known better to some by his stage name of "Euronymous".

Vikernes has described Burzum as a kind of "spell" or recreation of an imaginary world tied in with Pagan history. Vikernes claims the intent to create this fantasy world came from dissatisfaction with the real world. He has stated the "message" of Burzum can be found in the lyrics of the first song on this album (Feeble Screams From Forests Unknown)

In my oppinion, this album is really classic. Atmospheric. From start to finish, the tracks build an atmosphere of darkness, sadness, and despair. My favorits are Ea, Lord of The Depth and My Journey To The Stars. The riffs are so melodic that you won't easily forget, instead it will follow you through your dreams. Bringing your dark souls into surface. If you're a true black metal fans, you should have this one.
A Masterpiece !! Hail Darkness !!
