early 90's, country: Norway, the calm of this nation, and why not the whole Scandinavia, "is disturbed by facts hitherto unknown, church burnings, killings , youth exhibiting various pagan amulets, Vikings and anti-Christian in a country where 88% of the population practices the evangelical-Lutheran religion. Although
Black Metal movement had been brewing since the mid 80's, the style media explosion occurs only in the 90's, thanks to extra-musical issues. The exact date of that event: August 11, 1993, at which the Norwegian police found murdered Øystein Aarseth ... "Euronymous (Mayhem guitarist, label owner Deathlike Silence and the record store Helvete). The culprit: Kristian Vikernes Laarson or Grishnack Count, Varg Vikernes, or, or whatever you call it. The important thing is that this person is behind the solo project Burzum ("Darkness" in the language of Mordor). Burzum
The relevance within the music has been overshadowed by the various extra-musical activities carried out by Varg from the burning of churches to become a true spokesman for Nazi-phrases and xenophobic.
In strictly musical terms, the project has released six albums: "Burzum" Det Som Var Engang "" Hvis Lyset Tar Oss "," Filosofem "," Dauði Baldrs "and" Hliðskjálf . " Plus some EPs, including the acclaimed "Aske". This time we will dive into their latest electric "Filosofem" ("The Philosopher").
Published in 1996 by Misanthropy Records, Varg behind bars, the work consists of six songs composed in 1993, which under no circumstances be altered in order. Beginning with "Dunkelheit" we begin a true journey of sixty minutes, for the most twisted human mind can imagine, the sound is like a Black / Doom very atmospheric. The formula is very simple three-note melodies that are repeated ad nauseam, which accompany the hellish voice of Varg due to the use of broken microphones (yeah!!), As well as a very saturated guitar through the use of amp domestic music!, trusted by his brother. This, plus the concept of melody present throughout the album, Burzum has created a subgenre within the Black Metal which because of its difficult accessibility hearing, it remains until this day away from their more commercial vein.
Continuing with the agenda, we find the great "Jesus' Tod" (enough said), continuing with the powerful "die Tochter des Erblicket Signature", and from there he began a careful transition sound that begins with "I Gebrechlichkeit "through" Rundgang Transzendentale um die "-25 minutes of the purest and Ambient-exquisite sound, culminating with" Gebrechlichkeit II. "
We must make it clear that in this reference incomplete, we only recommend a disk, and the contributions of Vikernes clearly outweigh this issue, covering such disciplines as la historia, la religión, e inclusive la filosofía. Para todo aquél que desee inmiscuirse en este universo, le aconsejo visite la web oficial donde hay diversos artículos referentes a lo antes enunciado.
Por todo lo expuesto, podemos decir que Varg Vikernes es la verdadera y más pura expresión del Black Metal. No más.
