Burzum - "Fallen"

Post by poopshipdestroyer »

Burzum "Fallen" 2011
Byelobog Productions

Tracklist:

Title English
Fra Verdenstreet From The World Tree
Jeg Faller I Am Falling
Valen Fallen
Vanvidd Madness
Enhver Til Sitt Each Man To His Own, meaning "Each Man Gets What He Deserves"
Budstikken The Message
Til Hel Og Tilbake Igjen To Hel And Back Again

Musically "Fallen" is like a cross between "Belus" and something new, inspired more by the début album and "Det Som Engang Var" than by "Hvis Lyset Tar Oss" or "Filosofem". The sound is more dynamic – we mastered the album as if it was classical music – and I was more experimental than I was on "Belus" in all respects. Lyricwise it is similar to the début album, in the way that it is more personal and focuses on existential issues, but the mythological untertone known from "Belus" is still there. I have also included some ambient tracks – a short introduction and a longer conclusion.

"Fallen" was recorded and mixed during two weeks in Grieghallen studios, using a Spectar bass with alembic electronics on a VOX AC50 amp from 1965, a Ludwig drum kit (with a 26 inch kick) from 1975, a Neumann M149 microphone and stereo Schoeps CMTS 501 U microhpones for vocals, an OBH Nordica Harmony 6487, a custom Stig instrument and a Peavey 23 guitar on a Peavey 6505 (120 Watt) amp.

The picture on the front cover of "Fallen" is a part of a painting, "Élégie" (Eng. "Elegy"), by William Adolphe Bouguereau.

PS. Yes, both "Fallen" and "Valen" translates into English as "Fallen".

"Fallen" will be released worldwide on Byelobog Productions on the 7th March 2011.

Heard Belus, had nothing of what made Burzum special imo. It was very bland, and sounded like a band who is trying to sound like Burzum, instead of being Burzum. At least I can go back and listen to the oldies.

I'm not a big fan of black metal, but quite enjoyed Paracletus. The name made me giggle too.

I use to be in love with them, but they don't do it for me like they use to. After Kenose I kind of lost track of them. Some of the early stuff is bland, but Inquisitors of Satan and up they kicked it into high gear and started doing something black metal sometimes lacks, and that is individual vision instead of raping tradition. Funeral Mist is another one that isn't crazy experimental, but have a unique sound in the genre.

I, like many of us here, appreciate all the wonderful thing Sexy Guy does for us.

However, music like this is nothing but a joke to me. Perhaps I dont understand it. Perhaps I, a negroid american mane, is incapable of liking such audible art. Maybe my tastes are changing. Maybe i need have some sexual relations with a goth German chick into bukake and other shit i barely know how to spell.
