The Count back.
Burzum, the embodiment of what music should not be a morale perspective, returns to a year after his record post-prison (Belus).
Fallen, the title of the new job is a hard serious, mature designed so reasoned. Seven tracks rough, grumpy, overtly black metal. We are in 2011 and many would turn up their nose to hear the music of Burzum is half black just because nowadays we are used to bastardization with the sludge, with doom, with the hardcore, but Varg Vikernes is one of those who never go to contaminate "his" genre with something else, this is left his farm with a pure disk.
According to press statements, however, should include innovation Fallen overwhelming, but after listening you realize that they actually consist only in the presence of some melodic voices, from the perspective of Orthodox Burzum, however, can also look great changes. Those who followed him from the musical point of view, in fact, will immediately understand how this addition was for him as a jump in empty.
no longer exists in the Varg angularity 90s, the violence inherent in every note of his EP (Aske all) and his album. We find that rather than melody, the sounds, as in Belus, Filosofem recalled, his masterpiece. Fall is an example of how today you can do serious, no-nonsense black metal, which goes straight to his goal, sending a message, a warning, almost a warning.
In this album the lyrics take on a role nearly so important that in their translation into English (not American, but in English, as specified Vikernes on your site) we can grasp the true significance of this album: fall, fall , disintegrate, let the inevitable take its course, in a constant search for redemption and purification. The count is no longer a wild boy and bold, now is a man with his past and his experiences and reached maturity with this album that surely ranks among the best black metal album that the scene can Offir: frank, and sicnero dark and perfectly in line with the ideal of "genre" that is Burzum. Fallen is a concept, or perhaps I should say a concept, an idea or a thought that becomes so great that it can not help but be expressed or shared.
We are facing an album that loose - even if only slightly - the link with the 90s, and quite versatile to be discovered little by little, paying attention to the message in the space between each track is a poignant cry and a melodic chorus, accompanied by guitar sound so recognizable and its blastbeat hell and alienating.
