help with BURZUM

[JayKeeley]

1 - Are the Burzum albums rare or something? I can't find them anywhere, so if you know of a distro, please share. I do understand they're more expensive than the average CD, but I don't want to pay import prices if possible.

2 - Does the Misanthropy label still exist? I've never seen a website, but I assume the owners are still making profits from the sale of Burzum albums? It was a woman who set up the label, am I right?

3 - I remember seeing a site containing some text of Varg describing his albums as 'spells'. He went to some length in describing the layout of each album and how each was supposed to be trance inducing (something like that). Can anyone offer the link to this website? Or just find the text where he talks about this?

Misanthropy Records ist Tot.

Although I'm not sure if they're still maintaining their releases. Considering that they don't exist anymore, I'd assume not.

Edit: however, considering that they've been out of business for so long, Burzum, In The Woods..., etc. releases are surprisingly easy to find

I'm actually ok with the $15 price tag. I can only find this stuff for $20 average. Thankfully I already have Hyvis Lyset... and this is selling for $30 on CDuniverse.

From wikipedia:

Each album, he claims, was designed as a kind of "spell" in itself, with each beginning song intending to make the listener more susceptible to "magic", the following songs to inspire a "trance-like state of mind", and the last song to carry the listener into a "world of fantasy" (dreams, for the listener would fall asleep - Burzum was supposed to have been evening music)

Although I'd still be interested to hear his own interpretation if anyone can find the text. (You google Burzum album spell and you get 3 million hits for spell of destruction).

And Moribund does have shipping costs but they aren't too bad. Although if I were you, I'd probably just wait for TER to restock them. I think Moribund is in the process of moving their warehouse anyway so they might be a bit slow for a while. Oh, and way too often with Moribund you won't find out an item is out of stock untill you get your bill.

yeah I might do that. I've waited this long, I can wait 3 months shipping.

jeez, red stream selling Det Som for $17.

 

[Krigloch the Furious]

yeah fuck that. I'll spend 13.50/14 tops for a burzum cd

 

[skeptik]

Why?

 

[Krigloch the Furious]

because its just a cd. doesnt matter what band it is.

 

[Reign in Acai]

Damn J. was right about this forum not wishing to spend over 8 bucks on an album. I'll myself will gladly pay $15 for quality material.

 

[En Vind Av Sorg]

Me too. I rarely hesitate at having to drop $20, $30, etc. for a rare CD I love.

 

[skeptik]

Fuck, I've paid >$40 for 4 or 5 particularly rare albums in my collection.

 

[En Vind Av Sorg]

Hey look, you can get the original s/t LP for a mere $400.00 :zombie:
