Many credit
Burzum with influencing much of modern-day black metal. While Vikernes’ music has traveled roads often far removed from what many consider black metal to be (with parts ambient, electronic, and more), his compositions have immediately been taken to heart by countless legions of fans the world over. It is a “no fear” mentality that has made Varg Vikernes both an idol and a bastard.
“Vikernes is one of the most creative forces in Norwegian black metal...” -- Hellbound

Fallen, the eighth album from
Burzum, will be released in North America on April 5. The album is the second to be released via Varg Vikernes’ imprint Byelobog Productions (via Candlelight for the territory). Fallen features seven new compositions by the controversial Norwegian musician, each adding another storied
journey to the celebrated
Burzum legacy.
Vikernes says of the new album, “Musically, Fallen is a cross between
Belus and something new, inspired more by the debut album and
Det Som Engang Var than by
Hvis Lyset Tar Oss or
Filosofem. The sound is more dynamic. We mastered the album as if it was classical music and I was more experimental than I was on
Belus in all respects. Lyrically it is similar to the debut album, in the way that it is more personal and focuses on existential issues. But the mythological undertone known from
Belus is still there. I have also included some ambient tracks, a short introduction and a longer conclusion.”
Fallen features artwork from renowned French painter William Adolphe Bouguereau. It is a striking contrast to art Vikernes has used for his albums in the past. He comments, “the cover is part of a painting called Elegy. I used it in this context because the album deals with the concept of falling, not least in a metaphysical sense. By definition, ‘elegy’ means a mournful, melancholy, or plaintive poem. It is a funeral song or a lament for the dead. It is a poem written in elegiac meter or a sad or mournful musical composition.”
Fallen Track Listing:
1. Fra Verdenstreet
2. Jeg Faller
3. Valen
4. Vanvidd
5. Enhver til Sitt
