Yes, we all know there's another Burzum site, and that Varg Vikernes is sending his writings there because he got mad at Burzum.com's former half-Indian admin. True, things went wrong at Burzum.com in part because of the chaotic personal lives of its staff and in part because of the crowd of morons who came to its mailing list and forums.

But, consider this:
- Burzum.com was the original, and its site layout was borrowed by the new site (can't link it here, lol)
- Burzum.com gets writings out there are not only by Varg, but about Varg, giving a balanced perspective
- Burzum.com forum is now the only intelligent Burzum chat on the net, thanks to our new admin LLD
- Burzum.com has always been a site for study and appreciation of Burzum, not fanboyism

I think it kicks ass, and so I'm posting it here to wake up others:

Burzum

that guy sucks ass

I wouldn't say Varg's a glowing example of a human being, but I like his music. Besides, he's a laugh riot.

He doesn't suck ass. I don't agree with everything he says/believes in, but you have to admit, he is a pretty intelligent guy, and makes some good points on certain issues. But most importantly to me, he's an incredible musician and his work is timeless; more than 10 years after he was arrested, his albums still continue to set standards and inspire extreme metal bands everywhere.

"Burzum.com has always been a site for study and appreciation of Burzum, not fanboyism"

How is that not fanboyism?

for once, i kind of agree with you.

maybe that statement is trying to say that the site is a place for people to actually talk about the band seriously rather than post things like "OMG i love burzum. varg is SOOOOOOOO great!"

bump for the Lone Wolf

i don't get what this site is...

Burzum fucking blows, two chord black metal, we have much better metal now...

Good call.

I think you're right, that's how I took the statement myself. It seems like more people are interested in the gossip and rumors surrounding Varg, his imprisonment, his relationship with Euronymous and the black metal scene in general, and his personal beliefs and opinions, rather than the music itself.

The Varg drama is silly. Sheygetz can barely play guitar, and burned all thoise noice churches in Normark or whatever silly backward Scandinavian country houses him...

his ambient stuff is much more interesting than his black metal.
