Some words on this issue: BURZUM: Filosofem Misanthrophy Records EVE004 True FIRST pressing that came out in 1996 of this fantastic minimal heavy doom metal slide. This is the first vinyl press released 1996 by Misanthropy Records. Two black vinyl LPs, one of them with etching. Blue wax was released later . Filosofem is one of these albums that, however famous and influential for the metal scene, still manages to create this minimalistic, intimate feeling of being surrounded by yourself and nature. Being the fourth full-length release under the name Burzum, Filosofem is in many aspects very different from its predecessors and in many is quite alike. Sonic-wise it delves into more atmospheric and nihilistic approach, yet still possessing huge amounts of bleakness, steeped in rural folk traditions, pagan folklore, etc. However, just like the previous albums, Filosofem has a distinguished character of its own that makes it stand out from the crowd. The opener, Burzum , Dunkelheit or Darkness are one of the most characteristic and recognizable Burzum songs, a seven minute journey through an absolutely moonless night. It starts with the most distorted guitar riff that ever was, soon accompanied by the repetitive drum section. With the keyboards joining in, it creates the most haunting and mysterious atmosphere. Varg s vocals are also not clear and sound as distant as possible, almost buried below the instruments. Down-tuned guitars get extremely fuzzed, as if electronic radio waves constantly kept streaming out. It is a bleak and a total killer record, totally psychedelic to these ears. Top copy
