2018 release on black vinyl with gatefold cover

It may seem impossible at first thought the fact that a musiciancan succeed in creating such an incredible atmosphere with so muchlimited resources but Varg finished off Burzum nicely with thislast release. He takes you on a wave of surrealism, from start tofinish, never letting you go. The music of Hlidsjkalf stands as amonument of austerity, dedication and honesty against the decadentplastic art that reigns in these times. One thing can be safelysaid about this work; this music is simple. Eloquently simple inits expressionist form, this piece of art desires to imitate in asound form and expand upon certain aspects of Norse Mythology thatwere used by Vikernes to provide the ideological background of thework. The sacrifice of the thralls, Beldegir’s death by the arrowof the blind Hadnur (the deception of the European people intofighting each other?) as well as other more sentimental themes,like the death of Wotan in the Wigridr plain and the mother’slament for the death of her fair son. Whatever opinions one mayhave on the ideology Vikernes stands for, his character or actions,his dedication into transforming it into art is unmatched.Understanding this album requires first to acknowledge theconditions on which it was recorded. A synthesizer along with acomputer program for mixing does not constitute what we could referto as a high end studio. So, the simplicity that characterizes thealbum should not have been just a matter of artistically approach,but also a necessity. The eight tracks are consisted of a similarpattern in their development, that of a main theme that isperformed some times throughout the whole song, and the otherphrases that are elaborated upon and bring it to completion. If wehave to use modern terms to define the general structure,minimalism is closer to this work than every other genre of modernmusic. In Conclusion, this is an absolutely amazing album whichboth Burzum fans and non Burzum fans could enjoy, it’s not too softor too hard, it just finds the right balance to make it one hell ofa finish for Burzum
