Editorial Reviews

2008 collection from the infamous Swedish Black Metal legends. For some it's seemingly impossible to mention Burzum without having to detail Varg Vikerness' political and social viewpoints (and his conviction for murdering a member of Mayhem). This collection isn't for that purpose. The primary focus here will be Burzum, the music and not the controversy that surrounds the man. Back On Black. --This text refers to an alternate Audio CD edition.

This review is from: Anthology (Audio CD)

At long last Varg Vikernes' long running musical entity sees a best of release & while much of the sinister cacophony & brimming shrieks that's common in this style of music, Burzum's crude & raw approach still finds time to slip in ambient passages that's something akin to a film score or neo classical music yet nevertheless remains bleak & confrontational much like Burzum's controversial front man. The sound on "Anthology" is cold, brutal, & grim, & while these musical qualities certainly aren't anything remotely groundbreaking, Burzum was one the bands responsible for cementing Black Metal as a legitimate music genre & "Anthology" is highly recommended to anyone who enjoys extreme metal, noise, dark ambient, martial folk, etc. It's a healthy introduction into one of the bigger names & pioneers of the notorious Black Metal movement. My only gripe is that this compilation comes in sorta short measuring in at only 9 tracks.

Then this is the cd to start with. Great compilation from a great band. If you already own their albums then don't bother. Nothing new on here. Good intro for the interested, Great collection for the casual fan.
