5.0 out of 5 stars Perhaps the Best Burzum, October 11, 2009

This review is from: Hvis Lyset Tar Oss (MP3 Download)

First of all, I want to make it clear that I am reviewing Hvis Lyset Tar Oss. For some reason, the reviews for Daudi Baldrs appear instead of reviews for Hvis Lyset Tar Oss.

Varg Vikernes said in an interview awhile back that he considers this album his best. As much as I like Filosofem, I may have to agree with him. Hvis Lyset Tar Oss contains four longer pieces of music, all of them strong, three buzzing metal pieces and one dark ambient. In my opinion, the strongest works are the longest: the opener "Det Som En Gang Var," and the ambient closer, "Tomhet." Both of these tracks clock in at just over fourteen minutes each. This is powerful stuff: aggressive, mesmerizing, disturbing, uplifting. Burzum is my favorite metal band (albeit a one-man band), and Hvis Lyset Tar Oss is one of the finest reasons why.

This album surpasses all metal and has not been matched since. Four lengthy songs in a symphonic ambient black metal style takes metal to its highest point in evolution and beyond.

This one-man band orchestrates with a thematic narrative that puts the listener into a dreamlike state. Simple riffs are layered to create epic structures and are ambient in tone resulting in a range of moods while maintaining a trancelike effect. Shifting harmonies throughout these themes creates a journey of intense emotion and heavy realizations. Each track varies in speed and style but are all strongly connected like a classical movement. Ideological impact is the key to this albums power as songs drive forth with outstanding passion and sincerity. The subtlety is so deep that each listen will evoke feelings of wonder and majesty no matter how many times visited. It is an epic poetic story that is mystical yet symbolic to reality - it literally awakens your soul with a vision of eternal order through chaos. The album ends with an ambient keyboard track that is minimal and allows heavy reflection and resolution after the severe intensity and whirlwind of emotion from the first three tracks.

The result is an experience like no other album of modern times. Its power is immense and makes us contemplate the deepest questions of our very existence. In the age of our moribund civilisation this album is the ultimate warcry against the stupidity of the modern world.

This review is from: Daudi Baldrs (Audio CD)

Really dark and haunting, Daudi Baldrs utilizes rather atonal yet melodic passages, with no real tonal center yet still emotional and moving. A real hard album to get into, it sounds very out-of-the-box. A reccommended album if you like any of Varg's earlier electronic songs. The album art really captures the feeling of Daudi Baldrs, too.
