Burzum - "Belus"

Recommended Posts

After an 11 year hiatus due to Vikernes' 16-year imprisonment for the murder of Øystein Aarseth, Burzum's new album Belus will be released tomorrow (March 8). Are there any other Burzum fans here who are eagerly anticipating this? Vikernes says that the album will not be like the style of the music he made in prison, which was essentially dark ambient music, but instead will be more in the style of Filosofem. Unlike Burzum's earlier albums, Belus will not be pro- or anti-religious in any way, it is about the Norse god Belus. I personally can't wait to listen to this tomorrow.

Vikernes seems to have gotten a new Burzum logo too.

I've always found Burzum's music incredibly dull. I kind of liked Filosofem a few years back, but it is almost completely unlistenable to me now. Don't get me wrong; I like black metal that goes nowhere in particular (Paysage d'Hiver, Peste Noire, Lantlos, and so on) but Burzum was always an artist that I've found to be overhyped, and definitely overrated.

 

I've listened to a couple of songs on Youtube and I don't feel anything in it. I will eventually check out the whole album, but I'm not in a hurry to do so.
