Dude is the wiki like… irresponsible in its silence on this?
I’ve been trying to learn about metal (genre, history, types, etc) recently, mostly through listening, and haven’t listened to burzum yet or even heard about him. But when I went to the wikipedia article there’s no mention of any WS keywords save for the name of his label, which lays open his shiftiness shittiness. Did he sue or something?
Ngl, as a decades long metal head, you’re probably better off ignoring burzum except as a meme. Seriously, it ain’t worth it musically. I mean, they were kinda foundational to an extent, but not good, if you get me.
Early Bathory is a much better place to start down the black road, imo.
Yeah, I was at least 2000 words into the wiki thinking that I could be down with the church hating Tolkien nerds, before it became obvious to me that they’re, like, ultra racist. I’m sure there are dog whistles, but they went over my head. This is a pretty descriptive line explaining why varg doesn’t call himself a Nazi anymore:
Among other things, he did not wish to be associated with anti-Slavic sentiments.

Didn’t Varg send death threats to the singer of Bathory? I remember something about it, might not have been Varg, specifically, though
