BURZUM

Release Year: 2021
Artist Origin: NOR
Style: monumental epic atmospheric black metal

Filosofem ends up the early black metal era of Burzum on a very high note, standing out as the most refined and consistent record of four first album series, turning into the highest peak in Varg's glorious accomplishments: six cinematic compositions, recorded in March of 1993 at legendary Grieghallen studio, chill the air with unfathomably vast, bombastic atmosphere, enriching the sound picture by subtle industrial accents, taking over the previous flirt with dirty, straightforward forms of Northern black metal, while controversial artist confirms not to be afraid of introducing new evocative features that help him express the overall misanthropy and despair even better, rapidly reinforcing the significance and dominance of distinctive genre; first time ever - British double picture disk edition comes with all lyrics within its gatefold sleeve
