It began during 1991 in Bergen, Norway and quickly became prominent within the early Norwegian black metal scene. During 1992 and 1993, Burzum recorded four albums; however, in 1994 Vikernes was convicted and imprisoned for the murder of guitarist Øystein "Euronymous" ... Read more in Amazon's Burzum Store

5.0 out of 5 stars Trance out in the black 16 July 2010
By Geoff
Format:Vinyl
When night falls life has new meaning...

There is not another album like this in the whole world, but be warned, it might take you places you don't want to go...maybe into the silence of a forest at night with a burning stave church at your back as you walk into exile from the rest of humanity...

Seriously though, this bridges the gap between ambient and metal. Did it need to be done? Well let me ask another question, do you need to eat brains?

Don't question, just lie back and listen...

4.0 out of 5 stars A few things you should know about 'Filosofem' 24 Jan 2010
By A Customer
Format:Audio CD
'Filosofem' seems always to have been the most popular Burzum release, and while lacking the utter perfection of 'Hvis Lyset Tar Oss' (see my review of that), it is still a fantastic piece of work, epic and full of anguish. The guitar sound is crisper and more defined than other Burzum releases, yet still has a beautiful coldness, all washing and swathe-like. Folk art by Theodor Kittelsen illustrates the sleeve, and while Kittelsen seems to be a favourite with Norwegian musicians from Wongraven to When, rarely has any music matched the atmosphere of his drawings as it does here.

"Suddenly, life has new meaning..." It's hard not to feel a chill down the spine as Varg sings that line...or during the entirety of 'Beholding the Daughters of the Firmament', where a poem by Tolkien is changed to mirror the dreadful cold of winter and ancient night. Yes, this is a quintessential Burzumic release...

5.0 out of 5 stars Most important black metal album of all time 8 Sep 2000
By A Customer
Format:Audio CD
Vikernes actually topped "Hvis lyset tar oss" by creating this masterpiece. Minimalistic, monotone black metal art with a lot of misanthropic atmosphere.Great production, especially the vocals "suffer" like never before...

2.0 out of 5 stars A few notes about the Byelobog re-release
This version is in a jewel case with the original cover artwork on the booklet, presented in a cardboard slipcase that has the image shown by amazon. Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars Black metal should have ended at this album
The greatest black metal album. Each track is absolute perfection when it comes to ambience and painting landscapes in the mind. Nothing more to be said. Buy it.

5.0 out of 5 stars My fav BM album
This is pure true Black Metal. Everything is perfect here: the raw unpolished sound, the distortion from that crappy cheap guitar, the depressive vocals, the artwork...everything. Read more

4.0 out of 5 stars Great Album
A great album that every Burzum fan should own with great songs like dunkelheit/burzum and Jesus' Tod .

3.0 out of 5 stars Good album overall, but the experimental tracks are lacking.
The first thing i noticed when listening to this album is that it only has 6 tracks and 4,5 and 6 are almost a waste of time. Read more
