Burzum

[Nugent Goes AOL]

I'm placing an order from The End today, and I want to pick up a Burzum recording. Of the stuff I've heard, I really prefer the slower, more hypnotic stuff (but there were still guitars...it wasn't totally electronic).

What would be a good album to start with? What do the Burzum fans out there recommend?

(P.S. -- Please no one turn this into a thread about Varg...I'm just interested in Burzum)

Heh heh yeah, yeah...laugh it up.

Someone will come to my rescue. It IS possible to like Burzum, you know.

Interesting timing, because I just got two Burzum CDs today. I agree with godmachine12 that you should get Det Som Engang Var, I like it a little bit more than the other one I got Hvis lyset tar oss.

Burzum sucks and Varg takes it up the ass from cellmates.

Oh I forgot to mention that these CDs are fucking awesome IMO, it is going to be really hard to listen to a lot of Opeth in preperation for the show this Friday now that I have these.

Excellent. Thanks for the help.

I personally enjoy Filosam (your really gonna have to ignore my special-ed spelling, I'm exhausted and just trying to give you some quick advice before I spend the next day asleep) and Hjildsklaf. Filosofem is closer to what you described, songs like Jesus Tod and Hjildsklaf is more on the electronic side but both are excellent works of music and well worth your purchase price.

For slow hypnotic stuff with guitars you'll want Hvis Lyset Tar Oss and Filosofem.

The self-titled or Hvis Lyset Tar Oss.
