Burzum – Anthology
Is everyone just as annoyed at the pretenders who jumped onto the old school black metal bandwagon as me? Well Burzum was pretty much one of the first black metal bands to reach back into a lo-fi stripped down raw sound. Already an influential member of Old Funeral, Varg Vikernes or Count Grishnackh formed Burzum back in ’91, with an intention of putting out raw primitive black metal. While so many one-man bands tire with repetitive recordings, Burzum has found popularity via unique and brave distinct sounds that can easily compare and contrast the likes of genre-definers such as Immortal, Darkthrone, Gorgoroth, and others. Experimenting every step of the way, Burzum shows the listener his own transition throughout the darkened towers of black metal via this collection of his musical mayhem that reaches for recorded pieces throughout a decade-long legacy of vitriol, hatred, and hellish disdain.
