Wire review:

"there's an air of symphonic drama to parts of the album but overall there's too much angsty emoting to appeal to anyone outside the usual emo/Doom audience"

ha ha

I read that alright, has to be the most bollocks review I've ever seen! It's hilarious.

Based on the first listen this isn't a patch on the previous two albums but hopefully it's a grower

that ulver album, shadows of the sun is good. his voice takes a while to get used to. he sounds like si schroeder almost.

not liking the WINO album much. bit lame.

i met this massive skinhead black metaler lad at a loft party in Bergen, Norway when i was there in 95, who knew Varg before he was put away.

I don't know how we started talking, my then norwegian gf was a bit horrified that I was talking to him I think and stayed well clear.
His English was pretty good though, so we chatted. He looked absolutely terrifying, and he was in a black metal band that was fairly well known, I forget the name.

The thing about him was when I talked to him I realised he was one of the most fragile and delicate people I had ever met.

He was like some genteel old Southern lady in a Tenessee Williams play. Except he was a massive Norwegian Skin Metaler.
No one was talking to him. Everyone seemed scared of him.

It was very strange. I was thinking about it later a fair bit. It pretty much sumed up Black Metal for me.

(Also at the same party; Erland Oye and the dude from Royksopp. Bergen in those days was a cool place. )

He's stated before that he plans to disappear once he gets out. He has no interest in metal anymore.

He has stated on the Burzum website that once he is released he plans to "disappear from public view, publish a few books and perhaps a Burzum album or two". It was a few years since he said that but I don't believe he's said anything different since then. He also contributed to the black metal documentary "Until the Light Takes Us" last year. I'd be very surprised if he doesn't release more music.

Where did you hear that?

The Burzum website.

 

[cesspooldublin]

and why do you presume if he does release music that it will be metal?weren't the last few Burzum records all synths?

the last few records were synths as they were the only instruments they would give him in jail.
he could probably have hung himself with guitar strings!

True they were synth albums because he had no access to guitars but i'd say your right cesspool chances are anything he releases won't be metal.

yeah it'll be Odinist Opera....

So 16 years is a life-sentence for murder in Norway then?

I suppose you could see the whole Varg "thing" as a Black Metal PR excercise - its the one story that everyone knows about that genre.

A bunch of angry, chip-on-their-shoulders, testosterone-fuelled Norwegian adolescents rebel against their stultifyingly pleasent country/social democracy by burning churches, dressing up in histrionic costumes and then finally kill themselves and/or eachother.

Phew, crazy....
