For some it's seemingly impossible to mention Burzum without having to detail Varg Vikerness' political and social viewpoints. This collection isn't for that purpose. If you really don't know the story behind the man yet, then I suggest you do a little research on the Internet. You'll find a wealth of information: some true, some wildly inaccurate but mostly somewhere in-between. The primary focus here will be Burzum the music and not the controversy that surrounds the man. This accompanying text will hopefully be seen as a starting point for those new to the band as opposed to an authoritative dissertation.
4 new hymns, recorded in the same session like Sargeist's latest full length masterpiece, Unbound, showing nothing but Satanic Black Devotion. Featuring a silkscreen print on side B.
"Tuiflsrijtt" is Bavarian/Austrian for “devil's ride” and associates both the Krampus runs and the history behind the Krampus figure (myth, legend and tradition). The album functions as a bridge across the borders of this world to the devil's realm and the Rauhnächte, conjuring not only the dark Krampus figure who tortures the flesh with his rods and chains and carries off the doomed souls, but also the essence of the Drude, who torments her victims, Perchten, who take the souls away to the realm of the dead and the raging demons of the Wild Hunt.
"Tuiflsrijtt" is a consistent further development of the existing concept. Atmospheric Black Metal with an old school touch of the 2nd wave, which, however, has clearly increased in speed and aggressiveness compared to previous releases.
66:06 minutes of biblical jingles, presented as a Gatefold Double LP, with heavy col. vinyl in black poly-lined innerbags & outer protection sleeve, in old school style with gold metallic ink. Note: the A2-sized poster will be included while stock lasts.
