Mayhem was a pretty fucked band starting with that really fucking weird Dead guy that eventually killed himself (his stage name ended up being really ironic), the guitarist Euronymous that took pictures of Dead's corpse and using one of the pictures as one of their album covers, and Euronymous himself getting murdered by this guy.

It is actually quite amazingly a one man band Euronymous played in one track I 'War' and was his 'producer'.
I don't know how to double quote, but no it was not about some chick. Euronomys planned to kidnap and torture Varg to death while videotaping it for his own pleasure (reason was because people started to despise him and he blamed his shortcomings on Varg). He told his closest friends who told Varg, who confronted him. You can read about it on the website in the first chapters.

Keep in mind though, what you read on burzum.org is Varg's version of what happened. Euronymous obviously can't tell us about it anymore, I guess the truth lies somewhere in between the verdict/Blackthorn's testimony and Varg's "it was self-defense".

It's all a matter of opinion. It was revolutionary because there was nothing quite like it ever before. Of course, Mayhem, Emperor, Darkthrone, Immortal etc. already existed by the time the Burzum debut was released, but these were all actual bands with multiple members in their line-up and then there's this one guy that no one really knows anything about and he creates and records several Black Metal masterpieces (again, matter of opinion, but I think I'm not the only one who would call them masterpieces) all by himself.
Also, Burzum's music is intentionally very repetitive and extremely atmospheric, this is further enhanced by the use of ambient interludes (Han Som Reiste, Den Onde Kysten...) and Varg's vocals which were unique back then, to say the least.

In Scandinavian countries, Saturday is called Lördag or Laurdag, the name being derived from the old word laugr/laug (hence Icelandic name Laugardagur), meaning bath, thus Lördag equates to bath-day. This is due to the Viking practice of bathing on Saturdays. source: http://www.answers.com/topic/saturday
Saturday was a day of washing the house and yourself for Pagans. Is it a coincidence then that everyone thought washing to be unhealthy during the Middle Ages when Christianity took over?

hope you arent serious about this, youre 21 after all. On the other hand theres some lack of entertainment in denmark so at least i can understand where its coming from. This is probably one of the most hilarious versions i ever heard
and i didnt say he killed him over the chick, i said "one of the reasons" thus just another one of 100 theories brought up as a joke( since zoler is from sweden)

everything? i think he was fairly talented. I even liked Dauði Baldrs( still remember studying for my ethnology exam while listening to it)
i guess you have to like the genre in order to appreciate it

At op@ you should post the song from burzum that goes "this is HUH, WOW" you mean This is War?
Varg's main reason for disliking Hitlers nazi regime, was because Hitler himself considered Slavs as inferior race - and not a fellow Aryan people.
His blog is quite insightful about Nordic Mythology archtypes (in Jungian sense). You should probably change your topic name though.

i dont think varg disliked it
in fact his thoughts on the matter were mainly formed while in prison, he did a whole lot of reading and tried to create a concept that benefits scandinavians and their cultural and "national" interests. His views on the matter did change multiple times which is normal, he was only 19 when he went to jail. He developed into a national-socialist then into a nationalist. Hes nowhere as radical as he used to be. With time comes understanding
so dont make large assumptions as to whether he "likes" slavs or not. He has a spot for them in his philosophy which benefits it. But all slavs? Doubtful. Considering that he openly expressed negativism towards muslims( for instance turks) i dont see him accepting macedonians as another "aryan" race( if thats what youre trying to do) I think he will be drifting further away from whole "aryan" and "non-aryan" stratification. Its a silly debate but i am familiar with how it goes
many communities are trying hard to find a way into his world model simply because his words have a completely different merit compared to whatever else is out there these days. But trying to forcefully build something artificial in only makes it less stable
he definitely is still sharp and i am interested to see his new work. At the same time not expecting another explosion( who knows, who knows)

I don't care about how he's some confused loser who's jumped from one moronic reactionary ideology to another (paganism to satanism to national socialism, etc.) or the fact that he killed Euronymous in a hip hop-esque feud, but his music is complete garbage--whiny, grating screams, monotonous, boring guitar riffs, stupid lyrics. The (intentionally) raw production typical of black metal doesn't add any atmosphere for Burzum's music when each guitar riff is so flaccid and the vocals are just him getting anally raped.
