It’s amazing stuff. I rocked out to Burzum all day today at work. It sent me to a dark, desolate headspace and allowed me to focus and get some shit done.
This album is great if I’m walking in the forest in autumn or if I’m driving through in the mountains in a snow storm, or listing on LP in my basement as a youth while reading Tolkien 😅 it’s not rock n roll, it’s not meant to “get my jive on”
The point of so called "second wave of black metal" was to sound raw, grim and icy. Varg went a step further and recorded this whole album with a hi-fi tower in place of studio and a pair of headphones in place of mic. If you want to go down the rabbit hole, try Satyricon and their song "Mother North" (original video, not the one from the opera).
Fair play for listening to this track. Burzum is more talented than may first appear. Listening to the whole album makes more sense. How the quieter tracks which act as tonics to the louder tracks really work. On a technical level, I love how the distorted notes crash into each other. Some cancelling each other out and creating a new sound
This music is made to just truly feel it, put it on some earphones and walk through a empty dark street, or just a rural area, it will gonna feel totally different.
He recorded the double kick pedal not having one and added another (1) kick in between each kick turning it into double kick throughout the whole song. It’s like taking a piece of a cell bar from a prison cell and carving it into a shank/bone crusher. Using what you have. Absolutely incredible. Especially the other history on how this album and other instruments were recorded. It’s literally insane.
Completely agree still masterclasses that i love listening from time to time, it aged very well despite the bad audio, imagine this a lil bit more clean, genius work way ahead of its time still better than most stuff than a lot of recent stuff.
IIRC the vocals were all done on the shittiest helicopter headset that he could find so they sounded extra distorted. Varg can turn literal garbage into the best black metal album of all time.
Black metal isnt for everyone tbh... but to those who vibe with it, its next level cosmic shit.. xD i would have recommended something else like Anaal Nathrakh - The Codex Necro or smth.. but maaaan!! hats off!! black metal for the first time and dude with thru it all like a PRO!!!!! 98% of my friends would have removed their earpods right off the second i pressed start! 5:49 True words my friend.. true words!
I joked myself just a moment ago, but honestly I doubt he would actually be mad. That is such an American/ Western thing to get pissy about politics and opposing view points. He even showed respect to Kanye! Racism is a fucked up but also kind of a funny thing, where you can have certain beliefs but completely contradict yourself. I find it ridiculous myself, but what is even more ridiculous is how many both legit racist white dudes got black folks in their lives that they do authentically give a shit about, and how those same black folks know their views and still have love for that individual. The only people who don't get it, are upper class snobby white people. Fact.
Unfortunately he would be rude about it judging by his interactions with black fans in the comment section of his old channel. He does make great music though
The thumb nail is fuckin hilarious. I love this YT genre of black ppl reacting to the most white (even pro white) music like "shyyyt dayum he goin in! Low key dis slaps!" 😂😂😂
En skikkelse lå der på bakken Så vond at de blomster rundt visnet En dyster sjel lå der på bakken Så kald at alt vann ble til is En skygge da falt over skogen Da skikkelsens sjel visnet bort For skikkelsens sjel var en skygge En skygge av vondskapens makt A figure laid there on the groud so evil that the surrounding flowers wizend a gloomy soul laid there on the ground so cold that all water turned to ice A shadow then fell over the forest When the figures soul wizened away because the figures soul was a shadow a shadow of the power of evil
I disagree with most of Vargs Philosophy and politics but I enjoyed listening to his perspective regardless... we're all entitled to opinion and although Varg has very controversial opinions. We shouldn't cancel people because of opinions. Freedom of speech!
TH-cam IS not a way to listen to this kind of music, this music you only listen with an original CD or LP, a good sound device, and surrounded by trees in front of a fire, this IS no fucking Urban music. Anyway, good try, bye thé way, Norwegian are no Celtic, they are Scandinavian Vikings. Glad you still enjoy it. Hope it was Real enjoyment. Try again in the middle of thé night in the middle of nature.
I wore this shirt to work just yesterday, where I work with a couple people from Africa and have multiple Black clients. It makes me smile on various levels knowing both Varg and the "woke" would grimace, seeing me joking with my coworkers that I respect and love while holding a Black child in my arms. That's where its at for me, sorry for the rest of you that aren't here with me. I'm good!!
@@user-vn1di4oq4w He has some "interesting" takes on non-Europeans that he posts on his Twitter, but there's definitely wayyyyy worse racists out there
Damn they really recommended Jesus' Tod as the first listen? That's kinda rough. Glad you listened though
They was spazzzing
😁😁
I stabbed the air 23 times in self defence whilst listening to this song
WOAH DON'T DISRESPECT ØYSTIEN
Certified *black* metaller
Metaller 🤣
Metalhead
Peasant: "This music sounds awfull!"
Black-Metalist: "Thanks!"
My daughter came in the room the other day while I was listening to Cradle of Filth and said “these guys sound like gremlins.” 😅
Damn i love when people that have no idea what black metal is reacts to black metal LOL This was funny as shit.
Varg was a fucking prodigy. Too bad he was so full of hate
That's probably the combination that made his black metal so great
This song has to be experienced at least 5 times to grasp half of the mezmerizing experience this song truely is.

Checkout the story behind the musician, Varg Vikernes, very interesting!!
lol
he was gone crazy in that mof
@@Rodrigomalucman When I first heard Burzum I almost burned the house down
7 churches is crazy

Filosofem is definitely one of my top 5 black metal albums. I actually listen to Gebrelichkeit II as ambience to take naps to.
@@zod-engineering-welding it is a great album
I believe that black metal is the only genre of music where the more disturbing the artist are the more I enjoy listening his songs
So thanks varg
Awesome song, glad you listened
This music is made to just truly feel it, put it on some earphones and walk through a empty dark street, or just a rural area, it will gonna feel totally different.
First time listening to Burzum. I love how fast this grew on you.
AY NO WAY THEY SAID TO REACT TO BURZUN😭😭😭
They didnt, they asked for BURZUM lol
fan fact i ve heard, the whole Filosophem album was recorded with no microphones so that the audio would be more raw and authentic
he used a shitty call center type head set mic
@@murdamoochwhatever works 😂
The trance, that's the point, that's why it's awesome
I can listen to this in the gym but also at night to fall asleep to.
Burzum is peak sleep music for real
@@AbabBahah-qm4lo but also in the gym it makes me feel like a main character or some shit so it gives me energy
@@DutchDukeMan I don't go to gym so idk lol. I thought death metal is more suitable for gym? Because it's fast and aggressive

Based
Burzum is peak black metal.
i like how he called it ,,a journey" because burzum music literally gives you a journey feeling
Lets hope Varg doesnt see this video

He would find it entertaining im sure

Let's find out🤭
I guess he doesn't give a damn Fuck about youtube réaction, who knows? Maybe hé IS wanking on people reacting his songs😂
lol now you’re going to have to have a lot of metal recommendations

we wuz
Same.
@@sissygarrethbbc24 kangzzzzzzzzz
fuck is pro white suppose to mean? :D
Hey, if they dig it that’s cool with me. Lord knows we’ve gotten a healthy dose of their culture.
awesome comment: "8 mins of this?" :))
En skikkelse lå der på bakken
Så vond at de blomster rundt visnet
En dyster sjel lå der på bakken
Så kald at alt vann ble til is
En skygge da falt over skogen
Da skikkelsens sjel visnet bort
For skikkelsens sjel var en skygge
En skygge av vondskapens makt
A figure laid there on the groud
so evil that the surrounding flowers wizend
a gloomy soul laid there on the ground
so cold that all water turned to ice
A shadow then fell over the forest
When the figures soul wizened away
because the figures soul was a shadow
a shadow of the power of evil
I've heard this song perhaps thousands of times and never bothered to see the translation; image-provoking, excellent thanks.
This is the most unexpected crossover ever. There's gotta be black metal out there for you to enjoy I'll say.
song title means jesus' death
Black² metal

This is a journey indeed! A journey to space and back
Мощная вещь! Бурзум сила! Привет из России
this is huh... wow
I am so glad someone is reacting to Burzum, although Jesus'Tod as the first time is something else
Great music
glad you reacted to it!!
Burzum the best
This is so great and funny
you need to react to some finnish rap, Pressa, 3 Kadunpoika - Big Meech
nice 🤚🐒🤟👍👍👍
Burzum is 100% Norwegian Black Metal. Not Celtic, but Nordic. The guy is psychotic but a musical genius. A one man band, same with Bathory.
Lol time to Burzum
heidra varg !
Next video: white man reacts to white metal 😂
do more burzum
🤘
I'm subbed will you react to slaughter to prevail

Definitely not the most racist. Hes pretty mild in his old age. European pride doesnt necessarily mean you poopoo everyone else
