Although I've already made videos on the topic of black metal, I wanted to do more of a deep dive on Varg himself in more detail, as I feel his childhood and life after prison emain extremely relevant to the story and the character of Varg. I also just dislike much of the previous videos, so wanted to do the topic justice.

Yes, I have to agree ... So much of what he says are obvious lies and exaggerations... I've heard what he says about his recording sessions and there's a lot of things that he says there that doesnt add up. He present himself as a revolusionary in recording technics and said that Pytten, his recording engineer, was awestruck about his ideas about shifting his single bass drum on the tape so that it would be a double bass drum on the final tape. That's such a simple trick that I highly doubt Pytten, working with recodrings wouldn't know about it. Such obvious lies tells alot about a person ... That said, Burzum are unique and I'm so glad for the albums he has released. The songs really resonates in my soul.

@johnchedsey1306

Ай бұрын

I don't think anyone denies that Burzum's actual music across the first four albums was groundbreaking and shaped black metal. But Varg is like Kevin Spacey. The latter is a great actor who had some amazing roles, but he's such a piece of fecal matter in real life that I can't watch his work. Same applies to Varg and Burzum. I've heard it, but I can no longer remove the artist from the art. I'd rather listen to Ihsahn, who was just a big ol' music nerd.

@b.w.22

Ай бұрын

I agree with you, though I don’t begrudge others like the person above from being unable to separate the artist from the art when they find the artist abhorrent. I personally think that much of what was in Varg’s heart back then was in the hearts of many of the others in that scene, something that Øystein not only approved of, but encouraged. I mean, that guy was pretty terrible about the self-end of his “friend” Per and all of his judgment about what was true kult and what were appropriate expressions of what it meant to be “black metal” kinda caught up to him. There was a lot of indoctrination put onto a group of otherwise pretty lame, somewhat outcast-type kids that gave them meaning. Knowingly or not, Øystein was using tools that are used both by cults to indoctrinate the vulnerable and by the military to shape the young into soldiers who can kill. Øystein helped create the culture and the values of that group; Varg’s behavior, to a degree, can be seen as the avenging hand of that group over Øystein’s failure to be the figure he painted himself as.
