I always found Hvis Lyset Tar Oss too plodding.
Hvis Lyset Tar Oss is the worst Burzum album (of the black metal stuff)
Burzum is brilliant. Hvis Lyset Tar Oss is the epitome of black metal and a true example of artistry in metal. You know nothing.
Burzum - Hvis Lyset Tar Oss... only perfect extrme metal album that exists. I like others better, but none stay balanced like this album.
Hvis Lyset Tar Oss is the epitome of black metal. It basically killed the genre, as no other band seems to be able to top it.
Burzum - Hvis Lyset Tar Oss
Varg creates more then most bands ever accomplish with just so little. This album is the musical definition of art.
1. Hvis lyset tar oss-No record better captures the essence of black metal than Hvis lyset tar oss: the raw, heathen spirit, the peculiar fusion of power and powerlessness, the consuming atmosphere, and the naturalistic ambiance. Yet, in defining the genre, Hvis lyset tar oss transcends it. Hvis lyset tar oss is universal: it expresses horror and repulsion at the homogenization of culture, thought, and lifestyle. It snarls at the aesthetics, values, and sensibilities of monolithic light of “Western” culture and Christianity. And yet, it is also highly specific: it is the perfection of the Norwegian black metal sound, with primitive drumming, haunting synths, primal howls and harsh yet hypnotic guitar work. Finally, Hvis Lyset Tar Oss is simply a magnificent journey, traveling through tragedy, fury, retribution, and defeat before finally settling in a space of mystical detachment.
