Sounds pretty good on first listen. Much better production than Fallen. The percussion is very interesting and the clean vocals are very well executed. Lots of new elements to digest- certainly his most adventurous post-prison album. The Song of the Fallen and The Sacred Tree are really impressive cuts.

It's a matter of taste I guess, because I thought Belus sounded great, whereas Fallen was over-compressed. The new one has a bit more of an echoic sound, which I think suits Burzum's sound better.

I hear a lot more clipping on Belus. I find the production on Fallen more dynamic, particularly with the drums, and think the production fits the album better than the previous album. Obviously I haven't heard the new one yet, so I can't comment on that. Feedback has been overwhelmingly negative so far, even more so than the previous two.

It would be enjoyable to hunt Varg in his woods.

They need to a "Ultimate Fantasy Figher" TV series where people dress up like Skyrim characters and battle it out...to the death.
The first season would feature Rob Darken and Varg Vikernes fighting in the epic conclusion.
Now that's fucking TV.

When I first heard Fallen, I noticed that it was a bit louder, more compressed than Belus. However, it's a cleaner, brighter mix, whereas Belus is a bit softer and duller, so that might explain why it might sound more dynamic to some. Either way, I think the production on these two albums is great by today's standards.
No way.

I think that Shamaatae has the coolest promo shots in black metal, even though I wish that he wasn't churning out all those mediocre albums these days. His first three were amazing.

People should also stop feeling entitled to steal music that isn't even out yet just so they can be the first person to say that they've heard the album.

Ok apparently Watain is releasing a "film" to celebrate their 13th anniversary. If people weren't on the Watain hate train after the grammy thing already they probably will be now.

I didn't realize that Watain won a Grammy. What a joke when you consider how run-of-the-mill and mediocre they really are. However, the Grammy Awards have met my usual expectations once again.

On a related note, I'm seeing Watain and Behemoth this month.
What's Watain's best album? Figure I should familiarize myself with them before the show.

Lawless Darkness or Casus Luciferi, the other two aren't really important, I like them but they're skippable imo.
