Varg Vikernes a free man

[GhostVoices]

I am sure that whatever Varg releases will be at least decent, but I really don't know if it will match his earlier work.

hope it's not another Casio crap...

Why doesn't anybody ever actually look for the answers to their own questions? Varg has already said that any new Burzum material is likely to sound like Filosofem. Several of the songs that were to be found on the ambient albums were written in the same time period as that album, but were synthesized because he had no access to his usual instruments.

I really hope he does a tour of his new album; I want to see him live.

It won't be. He said it'll be like his old stuff i.e Self-Titled, Filosofem etc.

 

[GhostVoices]

I doubt Varg would tour, especially considering that he wants to spend a lot of time with his family.

Yep... and I for one would be very interested to hear his "proper" version of compositions like Der Tod Wuotans off Hlidskjalf.

Imo while Dauði Baldrs was a pretty questionable release (although excusable given it was the first complete ambient one), Hlidskjalf is actually a pretty good record.

I agree with everything written here. Der Tod Wuotans is my favourite track off Hlidskjalf.

Wow, I guess not keeping up with Varg for a little bit gets you really behind. So, some people here are saying he has given up on his white supremacist philosophy and all that 'other' stuff. Considering, as I think Omni said, his site hasn't been updated for a ling time, is there anywhere to actually find credible information or is that a total oxymoron when it comes to Varg?

It was updated last week. Try reading this: http://www.burzum.org/eng/library/a_burzum_story07.shtml

There's also this from several blabbermouth articles:

"In denying his parole for the second time, the Justice Ministry emphasized that Vikernes escaped from prison in 2003 and that he has ties to neo-Nazi groups.

"I haven't been in contact with them for a long time. Police security services know this," Vikernes previously told the VG newspaper."

I'm going to read as many articles from this site as possible today since we are curently dealing with an abundance of downtime at my place of employment.

What? I don't get why everyone acts like it's a good thing that Varg got / is getting released.

He's a murderous racist asshole. End of.

I could understand you being pleased if you're holding out for the possibility that he'll release more Black Metal albums, but you want to know something? He won't.

In two separate articles on his official site, he completely dismisses any possibility of ever playing Black Metal again. Ever.

In one article he specifically said that guitars were "my pals instruments" and Black Metal was "my pals music" and he wanted to have nothing to do with either ever again

 

[Doomguy]

I remember once he stated he wouldn't make anymore music because everyone thought he was a satanist.

I can understand why, because of all the church burnings and Dominus Sathanas (Master Satan) off the Aske EP.
