it was clear but its a total non sequitur? i said it sounds generic and his response is "it's supposed to be atmospheric, if you're looking for technicality go elsewhere" as if atmospheric music cant show originality and artistic vision and the only way to make distinguished music is with guitar wankery.
you know, completely ignoring the fact that at least the first three burzum albums sound like pretty much nothing else out there even now (filosofem, while still good, is based on a simpler, more uniform template and is hence where all the lazy 'burzum clones' take their cues from. all those bands evidently possess such a facile understanding of the music that it's laughable to even refer to them as clones though really)

I prefer Varg stay on this page than him start writing techno electronica banjo music with female vocals and a children's choir.

he doesnt need to make music in a radically different style, he just needs to make better music. old burzum is exemplary black metal. the fallen, again, could have been the work of any one of thousands of (deservedly) no-name bands. the fact that you use that particular strawman to attack my argument is telling of the fact that you, like most black metal fans, are incapable of distinguishing quality music from no-effort garbage. so long as its got plenty of distortion and droning riffs and spooky arpeggios and tremolo picking its all good right?

Na man there is only 12 notes. Varg has his style no fan will be able to tell him what to do so you might as well enjoy it or fuck off to electronica fagitita land.
We are still waiting for you to name one of those "no-name bands" that could have written anything sounding like Fallen. I am not a big fan of it but even so it's hard to deny that Varg is trying to move away from the conventional and is making something no one has though of before, although I can't say that I am happy with the direction he is moving.

He hasnt named any because there are none. However, there are countless Burzum-influenced clones, as opposed to actual Burzum clones.

Cock.
So you keep saying! Please name some of them so we can check them out.
You DO know what you're talking about right?

No.
An obvious reference that someone would have posted, but Drudkh is not a Burzum clone. Out of the Burzum-influenced bands, they are probably the most original and stand out in a crowd (unlike, say, Veil), but highly influenced nevertheless.

If you can find me a BM album from 2010 that is better than Belus, be my guest. I'm all ears when it comes to finding good BM.

I like the album but it's kind of silly, as in, his voice makes me laugh sometimes... I cant image it actually gets the amount of praise it does.

Well, back a few months ago, when I was searching up for Inquisition to try, I found and ended up really loving Nefarious Dismal Orations; that's what turned me onto them in the first place. It wasn't silly at all.
I thought the album previous to the new one was wonky as all fuck, which was awesome. I am intrigued.
