I don't see how. I made a pretty simple comment about Wolves in the Throne Room...
I'm sorry I don't go nuts for some of the same albums you do, I guess. Besides, I said I liked Wolves & I worship Sym-X. I think you just read the surface of my posts & make your own fast judgement. I can definitely call a band over rated (a lil') & still like them.

I haven't heard either or his ambient albums, but I'm open to try them out.
Also I have yet to acquire Burzum/Aske. I'll probably pick that up after Christmas.

Burzum/Aske is my personal favorites. Best riffs he ever wrote, at least in the highest concentration.
I'm not a big fan of his ambient albums, but they're alright for a listen every now and then. I wouldn't spend too much on them, though.
I don't like Hlidskjalf; seems too rushed and has too much filler. IMO, Daudi Baldrs is the better of the two ambient albums.
But Hvis Lyset Tar Oss is the best album by them, IMO, as a cohesive whole.

oh noes itz a opinionn
Daudi Baldrs was always Varg's flop album I thought. Hlidskjalf has a couple of notable tracks on it, but a lot of filler. He had potential on Hlidskjalf but wasn't able to bring it out.

I know that...
I believe he will be doing one more when he gets out & I'm very anxious to see how it will sound.

Folks - does anyone know where I can find a good (digital, i.e. divx/xvid) copy of promo video by Venom? The Bloodlust performance on it is widely hailed as an incredible one (and it is). These vids are from a Venom promo VHS tape which came out originally back in 1982 or so, and consisted of only two songs "Witching Hour" and Bloodlust"
Please PM me if you have any ideas. Thanks.

Do you have a favorite Burzum album and would you give your opinion on each of your releases?
My favourite Burzum album is probably "Hvis Lyset Tar Oss". Yes, I can give You my opinion on each of the releases I have contributed to...
The debut album: the production is a bit thin on this album, and the vocals and high-hat becomes rather annoying at the end of the listening experience. In retrospective there is much I would have done differently when I recorded this album, but all in all I like it. It was very original when it came, in all ways (good and bad).
The "Det Som En Gang Var" ("What Once Was") album: as far as I remember the vocals are much better on this album and the sound a bit better, but apart from that it is much like the debut album. The tracks on this album were created at the same time as the tracks on the debut album, so in a sense it is "Part II" of the debut album - something that can be seen on the cover artwork as well.
The "Aske" ("Ash" or "Cinder") mini-LP: I wish I had never recorded this mini-LP in the first place, because it is only an mini-LP, and I don't like neither EPs, mini-LPs, "best of" albums, compilations or singles. If it's not a full-length album it's not worth releasing...
The "Hvis Lyset Tar Oss" ("If The Light Take Us") album: this is, as I see it, the best Burzum album. It's very "anti-rock star" and - I think - original, consistent and close to what I wanted to achieve when I made and recorded it. This album is the first album I played music, instead of just playing different instruments... I did that on the earlier albums too, but not as successfully as on this album.
The "Filosofem" ("Philosofem") album: this album contains the first real Burzum track, titled "Dunkelheit" on the album (but the real title of the track is "Burzum". "Dunkelheit" is just the German translation of "Burzum"), that I originally wanted to include on the "Hvis Lyset Tar Oss" album (but the recording was very poor, so I didn't use it). I changed the name to Burzum from Uruk-Hai when I made this song (I think in August 1991). The album is a bit weird, and far from perfect, but it is okay. Unfortunately (?), this is the album that sounds the most like the new Burzum music.
The "Dauði Baldrs" ("The Death Of Baldr") album: the metal versions of a few of the tracks on this album are really cool, so I think I will include at least one of them on the coming album. (The track called "Jesu Død", on the "Filosofem" album, is also a metal version of one of these tracks, by the way.) I am not overly fond of this album, but it is okay. I like at least two of the tracks a lot (the two first, as far as I remember). I once heard a cover version of one of the "Dauði Baldrs" tracks, on some German compilation album, I think, and that was very good... much better than the original.
In short, let's just say I prefer the metal version of the tracks on this album oh, and it was recorded in a prison cell, using a normal tape recorder, so the sound is naturally not the best.
The "Hliðskjálf" ("Hidden Opening Into Asgarðr" or "Secret Ritual-Site") album: there are at least three tracks on this album that I like a lot, but in general this album is much like "Dauði Baldrs": it was the best I could do in a few months; the time I had to complete each of these albums, before the prison authorities either sent me to another prison (in 1995 ["Dauði Baldrs"]) or prevented me from recording anything more (in 1998 ["Hliðskjálf"]).
