"Uploaded this because of the other bullshit videos on TH-cam with this title that was actually just a fake lo-fi version of the album track." FUCKING THANK YOU!
@@TheFighterdoken that particular version of the first album being long out of print and a fortune to get your hands on. Varg likes to pretend he wasn't trying to be like Euronymous. He's the biggest revisionist in history.
where is the wolf??? ohhhh no disappear :'( I hope burzum plays only 1 time in my fucking live , I need to see Live burzum and his last song will be key to the gate :')
reminds me of my stuff i made at like 12...released first black metal album at 14 i think?? now ive played with some pretty known people..this genre is honestly magical
It's because of this being from an old mp3 rip, there is an upload of the entire demo up on here ripped from the "In the Arms of Darkness" boxset without the stop.
I wonder why he changed the logo into the generic gothic text one, this looks pretty cool. Well except if l didn't knew it was in fact burzum it kinda looks like it wants to say "abortion" maybe varg noticed that too xD
"In 1991 having a "cool" logo was one of the most important things to the metal bands in Norway. Immortal got one, Mayhem already had one, Darkthrone had one, and so forth. They were full of inverted crosses and other "satanic" and "cool" symbols, and some of them were even rather hard to read - or rather "interpret". Initially, when I left Old Funeral and rekindled my own project, and changed name from Uruk-Hai to Burzum, I wanted a logo myself, and a female friend volunteered to draw me one. She did and everything was fine, until I realised that I am following a trend. Why would I do that, when everything I did was supposed to be a revolt against trends? So instead I decided to have no logo, and just use a nice font instead. In late 1991 I had no easy access to fonts of any type other than the ones found on my typewriter. This was before the time of mainstream Internet. I had to purchase some type of sticker-fonts, and I could only afford a few sets, and then use them to "build" words, letter by letter. For some reason, either because I ran out of the right stickers-letters, or because I did it on purpose - I really cannot remember which it is - I wrote the Burzum name with capital letters and I used the only non-ordinary font they had in the book store; Gothic."
I agree, only thing I miss which is in the album version is the epic guitar solo (or anti-lead as Varg likes to call it). The part at 3:46 and onwards is much more beautiful than the original though with the very audiable bass lines in the background.
@@MrMadCopter I used to think like you and most people do. More and more, I realized (mostly after reading Wintherr's - Paysage d'hiver interview) that there's usually no "worse quality" in black metal, unless it's a fake downsampled track. This was recorded with old, crappy equipment, mixed the way it's mixed pretty much intentionally. I've heard this track hundreds of times but it sounds unique in this version and it can be interpreted anew.
@@Lesny14 I can’t believe that I once thought so. Now I agree that this version is unique (largely due to the bass, in my opinion). Varg was also great at humming it in his Burzum live videos.
Let me spell this out for everyone G A R B A G E!!!! Varg (his real name is Christian....BTW) Was a terrible musician, an awful songwriter & an even WORSE producer!! This guy is a J O K E!! Grow up people!!!
3:46 Sounds really emotional, that record's quality makes it more sensual

The beginning of this beautiful:)
Hail Burzum
Key to the Gate was always my favorite Burzum song of all. This is cool. In league with Thorns Grymyrk demo.
this is real black metal, reminds me Sargeist's demos... also 0 dislike to this video, amazing.
the guitar tone is really fucking killer, and the riff at the beginning is really catchy, wish it would have stayed for the studio version
Wow, I've never heard the demo version of this track.
Someone needs to show this to Varg so he can comment
:(
Ours has never seen this song in instrumental ... how wonderful!
schön.
amazing guitar and bass tone
BRUTAL, is guitar and bass?
Yes, this is from the rehearsal/demo 1991, some tracks have drums though.
Varg with corpse paint?
R A R E
A
R
E
Isn't that rare though, he wore corpse paint on the back of the self-titled album.

My Key To Purgatory is actually a better title shame he changed it.
the quality is amazing for this song
dam that's raw
Respect from belgium
HEIL VARG ✋🏻

Bien nítido el sonido alv
what's up with the abrupt stop at 0:40 ?
varg record his firsts songs by one line to each instrument, so probably was a problem in one of the lines
@@miojo04 and didn't even bother to fix it
madlad
@@gigipeedee yeah, it's totally understandable, tipical a varg thing

What if this song is about being trapped in purgatory/limbo/hell and wishing to one day get out. "I will open the gates to Hell, one day."

@@theevilsmiley9628 well thanks, that explains it.
Also did you just quote that from somewhere or have l actually summoned the count himself?
1991? wow
Better than the album version, in my opinion

But why? They are quite similar. But this one has worse quality and hasn't solo.
Yes, It looks a lot like Thorns "Grymyrk" demo, which is one of my favorite Black Metal works of all time.
