Though he is slated to be released from prison soon after spending 16-years behind bars on murder and arson charges, Varg Vikernes of Burzum remains one of the most controversial men in black metal. Now his story can be told once and for all - from the mouth of a teenage heartthrob. [ Lords Of Chaos book cover] From Blabbermouth : Jackson Rathbone , the [...]
So. Blabbermouth tells me that a) they are adapting the entertaining book Lords of Chaos, about the history of black metal, into a movie, and b) some kid I've never heard of, Jackson Rathbone, is going to play Varg Vikernes. And people are apparently really, really upset about this bit of casting, either because Rathbone [...]

I've had Burzum's "Tomhet" stuck in my head after I saw Severed Ways (reviewed here ), in which the song figured prominently. Astral and peaceful, it's an odd bird in Burzum's ambient works, which tend to be brooding (early period) or martial (late period). The first time I heard "Tomhet", I thought, "Atmospheric drum 'n' bass". Burzum - Tomhet PFM - Wash Over Me PFM - Danny's Song For those unfamiliar with atmospheric drum 'n' bass, it arose in [...]
Varg Vikernes ... psikopatın önde gideni olma ahdini kanıtlar şeklindeki yaşamından arta kalan zamanlarda müzik ile uğraşan fani bir insanoğlu esasında ama kendisi bunun ne kadar farkında diye sorarsanız, tıkanabilirsiniz. Gerçi biraz akıllanmış gibi ama... kim emin olabilir ki ? Varg Vikernes veya Count Grishnackh ne derseniz deyin... part-time olarak yürüttüğü kilise yakma hadiselerini cinayet ile taçlandırmış(!) bir cani olmanın ötesinde, zıvanadan çıkmış bir aklın hapsedilmesinin mümkün olmadığını da gözler önüne sermiş bir insan evladı aynı zamanda. Olayların bu şekilde gelişmesinin büyük sebeplerinden biri de Norveç in süper esnek ceza yasaları kuşkusuz. [...]
BURZUM founder VARG VIKERNES, perhaps best known as the church-burning murderer of former MAYHEM guitarist EURONYMOUS, has been released from a Norway prison after almost 16 years behind bars. The most infamous homicidal musician since CHARLES MANSON, whose antics were famously depicted in black metal must-read Lords of Chaos, has reportedly stated, "I'm ready for [...]

Black metal pioneer, Burzum mastermind, arsonist with a thing for houses of Christian worship, convicted murderer, and racist Norwegian nutjob Varg Vikernes is finally set to be released from prison. Having served a decade-plus of a 21-year sentence for the murder of rival Oystein "Euronymous" Aarseth in 1993, Vikernes has gone from being the emblematic black metal boogieman to something of a sad non-entity issuing occasional Wotan-approved proclamations from his jail cell over the last 16 years. "I have barely seen my son since he came into the world," he recently told a Norwegian newspaper. "Even though I hear his [...]
Top ten things for Varg Vikernes to do once he's been released from prison after sixteen years: Make love to wife without supervision of prison guards. Take eighteen month old son on first church burning. Visit Euronymous' grave. Piss on it. "Work on farm," kill all animals and crops. Audition to be new lead singer for Velvet Revolver. Cash in on [...]
Corporations and black-metal bands make strange bedfellows, and last week Toyota/Scion panicked when it woke up next to Nachtmystium's corpse-painted face. Scion booted the Chicago-based band from l... Continue reading "Don't Call Us Nazi-mystium" >
I didn't do anything today, and I loved it. Actually, I didn't love it, because I woke up with one of the all-time worst hangovers I've ever experienced. Last night I was treated to the company of Jack, Ken and Katie. We decided -- after little deliberation -- to play a drinking game. You see, The Simpsons Movie was on television, and someone (I think it was Katie) decided on a simple set of rules. We had shot glasses and a spinner set up in front of us. Rule number one: whenever a main character (Bart, Homer, Lisa, [...]
I used to go bowling with my father a lot when I was younger. He is one of those forty-plus-year-olds who work a 9-5 job all week (most Saturdays, too) and then go bowling on Sunday mornings with friends. It's one of his few opportunities to do something human. When I was a youngster, a morning spent with my dad and his friends was a vacation. They talked dirty and smoked a lot of cigarettes. This was in the days when bowling alleys only allowed scoring by hand. As I sat and watched the old men bowl, playing with my [...]
When Black Metal started emerging in the the Metal scene in the early 90's (of course not counting the first wave Black Metal), Black Metal had a very very poor music production quality, or kvlt or gr1m as they call it. This was a social outcry to the world of Pop Music and Metal music and all its glory multi-million dollar production quality music. Thus emerging the cry of the shitty production value. Bands at the time where recording music on the basement and making it sound as bad as possible. Recording it on answering machines. The more worse the [...]

Hello blog-o-sphere denizens. This is your captain speaking. Boy do I have a surprise for you today...a mix tape curated by Swan Fungus reader Sam! Not only was he kind enough to submit Tuesday's horrifying tale of man-on-man love that simply was not to be, he took the time to put together a rousing success of a mix tape. I've listened to it twice already, and I'm really digging it. I think it's something about the combination of good old fashioned country with black metal...I can't quite describe it. Sam was even nice enough to conjure up an original theme [...]

A series of global incidents of paranormal happenings began to infiltrate the media a few months ago. The internet was rife with reports about these chillingly violent acts. A spate of rumours erupted on blogs and forums pointing towards a new and highly involving A.R.G. where people would converse with a shadowy agency, known as 'I', and receive word of when they would be looked upon and judged. A grand unveiling was set up for a significant date with record amounts of people transfixed by every available clue and tidbit of evidence about 'I'. But when that time passed and [...]

Yikes! Its the glowing remains of a Norwegian church! Mommy, I'm scared. I fuckin' hate my Last FM profile. If I'm to believe what it says about me, I'm a real meat and two veg type of indie bore. Just another faceless heinz baked blogger in a big slimy tin of millions of identikit Wolf Parade fans. The software keeps recommending me the Arcade Fire for fuck sake! Gah, there is a reason Arcade Fire never scrobble to my profile. Its because they make my skin crawl. To shake things up, I've [...]
