BURZUM

Release Year: 2013
Artist Origin: NOR
Style: dark hypnotic atmospheric minimalist ambient

complete and final Burzum transition to minimalist dark ambient, or Scaldic music as Varg names it [skalds were called Norse poets], is easy to explain - this melancholic, cinematic instrumental longplay was primarily intended as a soundtrack of ForeBears movie, made together with Marie Cachet, closely following its concept line: translated from old Icelandic as East of the Sun, West of the Moon, dreamy, transcendental, mind-enlightening music reflects on an esoteric pagan initiation of descending into darkness and then ascending back into the light, where music contents directly point at Hliðskjálf material, of course with much better developed contents, opening up multiple synthetic textures to follow up its emotional paradigm
