Graveland or Burzum. Which is better?

[RavageTheKingdom]

Obviously they are idealogically very similar. Both Varg and Darken write about Pagan themes, are very racist and nationalistic, and see judeo-Christianity as a problem.


But which band do you think is the best?

In my opinion Celtic Winter, Carpathian Wolves, and Thousand Swords are better than Burzums 3 best releases.

So I like Graveland better, but both are very talented bands with some great music.

There could've been two threads to easily post this, but nahhhhhh

 

[RavageTheKingdom]

Or I could have made a thread about each band.

Just be thankful I only made one thread.

 

[The Emptier]

Oh shi-

 

[sevag00]

Definitely Burzum.

 

[SomeGuyDude]

Burzum. Ain't even a question. Whether it's the rawness of the first wave of releases or the recent Belus/Fallen, Varg is just a better songwriter.

 

[Bitencourt29]

They sound very different, but both have released great albums.

But Burzum clearly has the best material.

This.

I don‘t see the logic in "They have similar opinions on politics, so let‘s compare their music". They both sound so unique that it‘s useless.

Burzum is so much better. I like Graveland, but I also think he is quite over-hyped and nowhere near Burzum's level.

even though I love early Graveland, my vote goes to Burzum...this should've been a poll

haha Yea, I couldn't see it either. 'Both are racist and nationalistic, but which band is better'? What's one got to do with the other?

Anyway, the answer is: they're both severely over rated.

That isn't what the question was asking.

Burzum is quite obviously better, though Darken is certainly no slouch.

I vote for Graveland, one of my fav bands ever and pretty much all his releases are good. But as everyone said, two very weird bands to compare. Both rules and are music for different times imo.

 

[Astrum]

i don't find these bands too comparable. they are both excellent, classic bands for different reasons. imo
