[no country for old wainds]

i was joking. only the vocals are dieselharp.

 

[V.V.V.V.V.]

i knew you were being a joker.

 

[Sven Pakkanen]

Unfortunately I heard it from a guy who works at Manifest, a local CD warehouse. He's very knowledgeable in black metal and I find him generally credible, but I doubt his sources this time.

 

[V.V.V.V.V.]

Yeah. Me too.

Sven Pakkanen?

Are you a Finn-Swede? If so, prepare yourself for the oncoming Pekka jokes (Runk better be with me on this one)

 

[Sven Pakkanen]

At least everyone here is original. Now, out of curiosity, when I was on this site before, over a year ago, if I were to say something out of context like that my post would promptly be deleted. Why is it that it's ok now?

 

[-CC-]

They'd still delete your posts because your posts are uninformative and don't address the question at hand PEKKA!

A Burzum Story: Part XII - Belus
When I used the name "The White God" for my next album I had no idea it would stir up so much fear and irrational emotions. To me this is just a nickname of Baldur, whom the album is all about. No ambiguity intended. The truth is I announced the release of "The White God" at this early point to ease the pressure on the www.burzum.org host. He was getting tired of having to tell individuals contacting him that he didn't know when the next album would be due, what its name was going to be or anything else. With the article this problem was solved.

With a title including the word "white" it apparently isn't possible to slip under the radar of the racist "Western" media. To take away their excuse to spread their anti-Varg/anti-Burzum hate-propaganda when (and before) the album is released I have decided to change the album title. These self-loathing fools have no interest in the music anyway, and because of that I don't want their attention - and I won't get it if I use a title that doesn't give them an excuse to attack me.

The new title of the album is, as You might have guessed from the title of this article, "Belus", the so-called Indo-European name for Baldur/the White God. I could have used any European name for this deity, but I chose this one because it is the oldest known name and because it is pan-European.

"Belus" will be released on Byelobog Productions March-April next year, with eleven new tracks; nine metal tracks and an ambient intro and outro, and about 50+ minutes of music (the long outro not included). The lyrics are all in Norwegian, but French and Russian translations will be available on burzum.org asap -- possibly even before the release of the album.

That'll be all for now.

Respectfully,
Varg Vikernes

Will update to reflect this information.

You're a caring mod Andy.

BTW, I have to say I like the tracklist info! Seems appropriate.

 

[V.V.V.V.V.]

Me too, looks good.

 

[Anticitizen One]

Kinda fucking lame that he ended up feeling pressured to change the album's title, but it's understandable. I wonder if he read the email I sent him -- his webmaster said he forwarded it and that "Varg will respond if he chooses to..." -- I've yet to receive a reply, but a couple of the things he says here make me curious.

 

[Sven Pakkanen]

Not trying to discourage, but he didn't respond to the email I sent him recently, but I'm sure this post will be responded to by something along the lines of "because your email was uninteresting."

Anyways, that article makes me feel much better about the album, and I will be sure to purchase it as opposed to downloading it. I encourage everyone else to do the same, though most will bullshit saying they always buy them.

50+ minutes of Varg doing black metal makes me very excited. I don't even know why he bothers letting people email him...he knows he's going to shit whenever he talks

 

[The Ozzman]

Let's hope one of the ambient tracks isn't 25 minutes of crap like on Filosofem
























That track would've been fine if it had been 7 minutes or so

 

[no country for old wainds]

rundgang die habenzieben reuterflagen is not too long. you, my friend, are too short.

 

[Doomguy]

The tracks on Filsofem were the perfect length, good sir.

 

[cookiecutter]

Boo, that song is good. Second to Tomhet for best ambient track

 

[The Butt]

Rundgang is great faggots

Daudi Baldrs is Varg's best ambient track tho
