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.
SATANIC WARMASTER needs no introduction. Since the band's formation in 1998, founder Werwolf has prolifically - and provocatively - stoked fires that refuse to be quenched. A totally independent artist in all aspects, SATANIC WARMASTER has sold hundreds of thousands of albums internationally and played stages all across the world, from north to south and east to west.
Since their formation in 2007, MINENWERFER have pursued a proud 'n' pure vision of black metal idiosyncratically focused on World War I - idiosyncratic, in the sense that the band hail from America but mostly sing in German. What has resulted is a startlingly accomplished canon that has quietly built itself into prolific proportions, with their first album arriving in 2010, followed by albums in 2012 and 2019, and a slew of split releases and EPs in the interim.
Special reissue of the cult classic debut EP from Celestia. Original version released in 1999 on Drakkar Productions. Comes with one studio bonus track recorded during the same session.
