BURZUM

Release Year: 2010
Artist Origin: NOR
Style: monumental epic atmospheric black metal

regardless of being recorded within a course of one year, classic era albums by Grishnackh mark a significant evolution of sound where this third full-length, nailed down in September of 1992, appears in a way more atmospheric, epic and monumental light, groping on a coherent, hypnotizing flow, with melodic lines spreading like mist above the monotonous pulsations of guitars, managing to incorporate autonomous rhythmless, ambient ideas into full scale philosophical black metal picture, backed up by dark misanthropy; four lengthy tracks get deeper to reflect esoteric, personal experiences, desolation and suffocating loneliness, strengthened by trademark screech, and severe decorations by Theodor Kittelsen; recent British slipcase re-issue comes with extra exclusive design and liner notes by Varg in the booklet
