Which Burzum album?

[Hammer of Might]

I've heard these two albums mentioned a lot, and I want to know which one (if not both) is considered Burzum's masterpiece.

I'm pretty sure one of these is meant to be particularly amazing, but as they're both in norwegian or whatever I find it hard to remember either name, let alone distinguish which is which.



- Hvis Lyset Tar Oss
- Det Som Engang Var

(Just out of curiosity - what do both names mean in english?)

 

[no country for old wainds]

Hvis Lyset Tar Oss is magnificent, and has the classic 'Det Som en Gang Var' on it. I hear Det Som Engang Var is a worthy purchase too but I am yet to get it.

 

[Astral Poetry]

Hvis Lyset Tar Oss is Varg's masterpiece. What was just hinted at on Det Som Engang Var came to full bloom in Hvis. It's easily one of the best, if not the best black metal album.

 

[Avsky_Slagmark]

- Hvis Lyset Tar Oss - If the light takes us
- Det Som Engang Var - that what/wich once was

 

[Hammer of Might]

Hvis Lyset Tar Oss is magnificent, and has the classic 'Det Som en Gang Var' on it.

Right, so a track on this album actually shares the title of another Burzum album?

 

[Flood]

To me, Det Som En Gang Var is a better ALBUM, but the SONG is the Burzum's best (which is on Hvis).

 

[Krilons Resa]

Hlto

Indeed.

 

[Tanith]

Right, so a track on this album actually shares the title of another Burzum album?

Thats retarded, but only slightly.

Get Hvis Lyset Tar Oss

 

[Terrifyer]

Hvis Lyset Tar Oss its better so pick it up

 

[Hammer of Might]

Seems that Hvis Lyset Tar Oss is the preferred choice so far

 

[skeptik]

I prefer Det Som Engang Var over Hvis Lyset Tar Oss, even though Det Som Engang Var (the song), which is on Hvis Lyset Tar Oss, is an amazing song.
