I would give everything to forget all Burzum songs just to hear them again.

[@StardustPropaganda]

I know this may be useless, but Varg actually has an unreleased song called "Et hvitt lys over Skògen" You may have not heard it yet and it's actually quite a good song.

[@CoolShot906]

Actually, you can take 1 years break from listening to Burzum, then listen to it again, feel the power

[@Idono248]

@@StardustPropaganda It's has quit a different style to it, by basically being so simple it feels more like a hole song and the sqreatch in the background also helps with weaving the hole thing to to gether. defently get a strong punk feeling from the song. As if it's rallying up the youth for something haha

Wow, I don’t even remember this comment. Hello from an asylum deep in the nothingness of UK. How has life changed..

[@darthrevan6861]

I can understand if people dislike Varg's early vocals, I can understand that even he doesn't really like it, but it contains SO SO much emotions and feelings... Especially in the end, from 8:25, with the slow guitar and the lyrics.. Probably the most atmospheric BM vocals ever, along with the end of Spell Of Destruction The riffs are amazing too, in the end and from 2:30.. There are TONS of so called "DSBM" bands and albums, which means that they have the same 3 tremolo picked chords with shitty production for 40 minutes and they call it depressed, but i haven't seen any modern BM band doing riffs with so much emotions and creativity. I love this song, and also Spell of Destruction because they're really heavy, kind of "doomy" and depressive at the same time.

I do this for myself.... The fire in the sky is extinguished Blue waters no longer cry The dancing of trees has stopped The stream of freshness from cold winds Exists no longer The rain has stopped to drip from the sky Still dripping exists From the veins of a nearly dead boy Once there was hatred Once there was cold Now, there is only A dark stone tomb with an altar An altar which serves as a bed A bed of eternal sleep The dreams of the human in sleep Are dreams of relief A gate out of hell into the void of death Yet undisturbed the human sleep And one day will the grave be unlocked And the soul must return to his world But this time as a lost forgotten sad spirit Doomed to haunt endlessly

Love this song. It always reminds me of Drake's "In My Feelings," which I feel is a slightly better song from a musical perspective, but I still respect the passion it took to create A Lost Forgotten Sad Spirit. I think Burzum could improve if they utilized more trap beats, maybe hooked up with Drake's producer, 40, but that's just me. :p
