BURZUM

Release Year: 2011
Artist Origin: NOR
Style: monumental transcendental atmospheric black metal

second longplay of the new era by controversial Norwegian artist is by all means tighter, punchier and more consistent, celebrating Varg's utmost return to essential, trademark creativity - more than that, it turns out to become the most convincing record he has accomplished during the comeback years, hypnotizing with peculiarly catchy, transcendental blackened music, choke full of thick atmosphere and haunting harmonies that rage like a magic whirlwind, making the listener lose the track of time and shiver by its mythological lyrical content, while excellent production of Grieghallen studio and symbolic cover image Elegy, courtesy by Adolphe-William Bouguereau, appear as highly suggestive pieces of a puzzle as well
