8:23 Always deep deep in my heart. But for me, always has something from an afternoon in late summer. And the middelpart from tomhet, is one of the greatest magical moments in music.
Filosofem is easily my favorite. Also, your videos inspired me to make a whitechapel ranking video. I’d like to hear your opinion on it. Thanks man! Stay metal
The first three albums are my favorites and probably "Det som engang Var" is my most beloved because my alltime favorite Burzum songs "key to the gate" and "Lost Wisdom"
1) Hvis lyset tar oss 2) Filosofem 3) Belus 4) Det Dom Engang Var 5) Burzum Love „Belus“ so much, especially „Glemselens Elv“, one of the best songs ever heard. Ranking in number three only for one reason: „Hvis“ and „Filosofem“ are the peak of Black Metal!
Since the Burzum albums can be clearly separated in two groups (' Dark Ambient' and 'Black Metal', the second group featuring some Ambient stuff as well), I've decided to give two ranking lists. I'm going to start with the Black Metal list, but first it has to be stated that NO Burzum album is an utter failure. Black Metal albums (the EP Aske omitted): #7 Umskiptar #6 Valen #5 Burzum #4 Belus #3 Det som en gang var #2 Filosofem ..and my all time #1 is...HVIS LYSET TAR OSS! The second list comprises all Burzum Ambient albums: #5 Thulêan Mysteries #4 The Ways of Yore #3 Sôl austan, Mâni vestan #2 Dauði Baldrs ... and my favourite Burzum Dark Ambient album is HLIDSKJALF on #1!
Honestly, for me, Hlidskjálf, Belus, Fallen & Umskiptar are my top Burzum albums. But yes, his older catalogue (obviously Filosofem) are masterpieces as well.
The Ways of Yore is a god-tier album. Probably one of his most ethereal and emotionally charged. It was TWOY and Hvis Lyset Tar Oss that made me fall in love with Burzum and paganism in general.
1. Hvis lyset tar oss 2. Det som en gang var 3. Filosofem 4. Burzum 5. Belus 6. Fallen 7. Daudi Baldrs 8. Hlioskjalf 9. Umskiptar 10. Thulean Mysteries 12. Sol Austan, Mani Vestan 13. Ways of yore.
Of course burzum/ aske are the best iMO I need to get that Hvis Lyset Tar Oss cd. IM really liking BELUS & FALLEN ☆☆☆ just can't into the ambient stuff I have no patience. Lol Good review and rankings. Sláinte!!!
I guess you have already heard Mortiis albums if you like the dungeon synth stuffs. He used to be the first Emperor bass player but he quitted just before their first studio album. Then started a solo carreer doing dungeon synth.
Burzum's discography is so utterly hard to rank... My top 4 are the original 4 BM albums, likely Hvis Lyset Tar Oss, ST/Aske, Filosofem and Det Som Engang Var, but the order can change based on my mood. Then It's Belus, Hlidskjalf, Belus, Fallen, Umskiptar, then Ways of Yore, Daudi Baldr, Sol Austan and Thulean. Ways of Yore is super underrated, I enjoy that album quite a lot. Good ambient vibe throughout, I wouldn't say it's the worst, certainly not easily.
My ranking: 1. Hvis lyset tar oss 2. Burzum 3. Dauði Baldrs 4. Filosofem 5. Hliðskjálf 6. Det som engang var 7. Fallen 8. Sôl austan, Mâni vestan 9. Umskiptar 10. Thulêan Mysteries 11. Belus 12. The Way of Yore
I just started listening to Burzum, started with the first album/EP and loved it!! I'm really interested in hearing the rest including his atmospheric folk albums. Your passion for the albums on this video just makes me even more interested, plus you're just overall a nice presence on the screen, nice to listen to. Thanks for your guiding thoughts on this interesting band!
I love the burzum albums 😊😊😊. I dont agree with his controversy. I love the first albumsAnd i like that its from D&D .. ive been playing lots of D&D so i know ..
I asked a friend about the difference between death and black metal. He explained, then said I should listen to Filosofem to hear a typ black metal album. I didnt know Burzum and was looking forward hearing the album. Shock!!! I did listen the whole album, but just because I thougt, there must be something coming, at least a short melody or a tiny riff, but nope. I listened at moderate level over headphone, at the end I had tinitus from the constant hiss in the sound, as if I had stood directly in front of the pa loudspeakers at a metal concert. I listen to a lot of music, and of course to metal, but I believe, I am the only one worldwide, who listened through that whole album. I cannot believe anyone else ever going through this. Nobody please be offended. And keep up with the lovely channel, BR, Joe
I remember the first time I listened to Filosofem I couldn’t even tell what was happening, but after listening to the first burzum album I went back to filosofem and it clicked. It’s really all about training your ears to hear past the ‘noise’ and you’ll realize you can hear the noise is a whole new way
12. Daudi baldrs 11. Sol Austin, mani vestan 10. The ways of yore 9. Thulean mysteries 8. Det som engang var 7. Hildskjalf 6. Burzum 5. Fallen 4. Belus 3. Umskiptar 2. Filosofem 1. Hvis lyset tar oss
Same here l don't care if varg's a nazi l listen to anything as long as it's good but the main reason l avoided burzum is because of it's pseudo intellectual hipster status might give it a second try tho
@Blizzard Frost l am sure that this never was varg's intention but his music seems to attract this certain kind of people. Burzum fans are like the vegans of black metal.
I feel like it depends on what the controversy is. You say “has a different view than you” but that makes it seem like he has a different political view. But he is a literal NAZI. That is objectively wrong. I like burzum, but I absolutely do not support that asshole. I think the music being good isn’t a good enough excuse to completely dismiss someone being a terrible person. Like Kevin spacey as a good example. People enjoy his movies, but agree that he is a piece of shit in real life. That’s how I feel about burzum. Cool music, shitheads playing it
He's a prick but made some crackin black metal. 5. Det Som Engang Var 4. Fallen 3. Hvis Lyset Tar Os 2. Belus 1. Filosofem Belus has too many hard riffs to ignore.
daudi baldrs is pretty bad , all hate aside. Thulean mysteries and ways of yore are the best ambient albums in my opinion. Better production, more hypnotic and creative melodies, a developing storyline even, which i also kinda saw in the debut mostly, which is my favorite burzum black metal album, if not one of the greatest black metal albums ever.
Daudi baldrs is horrible, it could be an ost to a very old shitty free-to-play mmorpg, early android free rpg shit, or similar climates. Sol Austan and later stuff is perfectly calm, ideal before sleep, during studying and children with ADHD/ADD should listen to it lol.
@@lechgolas6400 I just listened to it for the first time and it is amazing. Idk why everyone thinks it’s so bad. The melodies are catchy af and there are so many different tones in the music considering it was all made with 1 instrument
@@Questformetal It's got a doomy sound that I'm sure you'll appreciate. Spirit the Earth Aflame, Gathering Wilderness and To the Nameless Dead are especially good places to start.
Have to agree and disagree about belis. It has some great riffs that i definitely think hold a candle to some pre prison material, but i have this issue where the song is great, then it changes to a part i dont like that ruins the song for me. The couple times i listen to it, i just keep getting that drop off that makes the album a really mind fuck. I do think the best riffs on belis are better than the best riffs on fallen, however i think it is a lot more consistent and enjoyable to listen to. Filosofem for me is a bit overrated, bunkleheit and jesu dod are great songs, but it think the album drops off a lot there. I really cant say it is nearly as good overall as either the self titled, det som, or hvis
Hvis Lyset Tar oss isn’t even music… it’s better it’s so fucking good it’s art you can’t compare it to anything else ever made in the entire world of music not even to music starting legends like bach and shit
Last 3 i can't rank because i haven't heard them yet. 10. Daudi Baldrs (good album to meditate to. 1 of my first Burzum albums back when it came out which was long ago) 9. Hlidskjálf (better darker and shorter songs then Daudi Baldrs) 8. Umskiptar (has good moments but some forgettable ones too. Most Burzum albums are like that) 7. Filosofem (first 2 songs are great but the rest just kinda drags on a bit. I dont really care for his vocals here, plus i can do without the 25 minute instrumental followed by another 7 minute one) 6. Hvis Lyset Tar Oss (Det Som Engang Var song is amazing but the rest of the album is just average) 5. From The Depths Of Darkness (great rerecordings of some early songs. Some slight rearrangements were nice) 4. Det Som Engang Var (great album love the vocals. Wish there were more vocals than all those instrumentals) 3. Belus (I was shocked when this came out. Varg became a better musician for sure. Absolutely love everything about my top 3) 2. Fallen ( Pretty closely tied to Belus but i favor this one a bit more) 1. Burzum/Aske ( my first Burzum album has Aske ep on it. Its the best Varg has ever done period.)
The Swastika is a century old symbol used not only by european paganism, but also native americans and indians i believe. It has nothing to do with Nazis. Hitler used it because since it was a Norse symbol, it was 'aryan'.
@@Dan_Metalhead extremely unlikely i'd say. He has stated several times he doesn't care about music anymore and he considers it a waste of time. He wasn't doing music for the sake of doing music, it just so happened to be the easiest way to convey his thoughts. His music was always about the message rather than the instruments themselves anyway. He had a youtube channel a few years ago but got banned for buttfukk reasons where he talked about different topics, that s where i got the info from.
My favorite is the debut simply because it has 9 songs. I love the songs on Hvis Lyset Tar Oss and Filosofem, but man, Filosofem has like, 3 black metal songs, and Hvis also has only 3, and that's the main reason I like the debut and the second album better...
Man you're an idiotic poser. The 3 black metal tracks on Hvis aren't songs they're compositions with movements. They follow classical structures not pop music structures of verse, chorus, verse. etc. Those 3 tracks are essentially mini-albums themselves. They constantly progress and do not return to some catchy chorus. The Burzum debut followed a more conventional structure. I don't think you realise just how influential Hvis was. It brought forth a much bigger scope to black metal music. Who cares if it had less tracks than the debut it was a much more ambitious and artistic project. It was where Varg perfected his sound. In the Burzum debut you could still hear Mayhem and Bathory but in Hvis you can only hear Burzum.
@@cookiesontoast9981 i like ambient too. One of my favorite Burzum tracks is Tomhet. But the one on Filosofem just goes on for waaaay too long. Maybe if it was 5 minutes long, i would like it
"Hvis lyset tar oss" and yes, I still listen to it quite often. This one along with the first three tracks on "Filosofem" I put on regularly. 🤘🏻
All Burzum albums are very good, but Filosofem is iconic, with an unrepeatable atmosphere. Simply unique and my favourite. Ty for this ranked ;-)

just can't into the ambient stuff
I have no patience. Lol
Good review and rankings. Sláinte!!!
Belus is my favorite album. love it.
Either Hvis Lyset Tar Oss or the Burzum/Aske for me. They have my favourite Burzum songs - Hvis Lyset tar Oss and War respectively.
Filosofem is my favourite for sure. It's a one of a kind album.
Was the album that got me Into black metal so still love it
There are song on that album that are extremely powerful, they will be forever.
I guess you have already heard Mortiis albums if you like the dungeon synth stuffs. He used to be the first Emperor bass player but he quitted just before their first studio album. Then started a solo carreer doing dungeon synth.
Hvis Lyset Tar Oss has to be my favourite. People talk about Filosofem quite a lot but hlto is better in my opinion

A great breakdown of the murky Burzum catalogue.
Personally only listen to the first few albums from mr V. Everything after filosofem I kinda just haven't checked out
Filosofem is the last album he recorded before they locked him up.
I think you'll like Fallen and Belus if you enjoy his BM material
The way of yore is incredible imo

That's quite a unique list! I might not fully agree with #3, 6, 11 and 12 but it's respectable.
