What about them? They're very similar to his metal output in terms of compositional style, mood, etc. They're just arranged entirely differently. He could easily just walk out of jail and re-record them as black metal pieces and produce material that is at worst pretty decent.

I seriously doubt that he'll continue to make music. If he has a wife and kids and he's been in jail for about 14 years do you really think he'll want to?

I don't see why this matters.

According to burzum.org he might release an album or two, but he wants to farm and stay as far out of the public eye as possible. He even stated that he's not so sure that any albums will be released as Burzum anyways.

Don't blame him wanting to stay out the public eye.

We can blame him for being extremely naive. Manheim once stated in an interview that two black metal fans tracked him down and paid him an unannounced visit once, what does Varg think will happen to him? He must be completely out of the loop to think he can just retreat into obscurity that easily.

I agree people will be after him and i don't think many people in Norway will accept him when he gets out.

As long as he doesn't release shit albums, I would love it if he remained a musician. But there's not many people out there that can release ~6 progressing albums and return to it 20 years later. And hopefully he won't sell out either if he does. I consider Varg somewhat sacred in the sense it seems like he genuinely doesn't give a shit about the commercial side of metal. It's why I like Fenriz so much. I'm glad Darkthrone isn't stuck in the past like other bands are - but I'd much rather hear them attempt to recreate the past instead of crust punk (or whatever it's called). If Burzum's sound was to evolve - ambient seems like a great direction to me.

You don't think there would be a lure for the amount of money he would be offered? I am sure if he got a meaty signing offer he probably would go for it.

Burzum could be quite a meal ticket.. especially if he puts together some more quality albums.

Well i agree on the part it will be hard to follow 6 albums but i'm not much of a fan of his ambient work so i hope he goes back to his old style and i dout he would ever do commercial stuff.
Darkthrone has gone more commercial they sound more Heavy metal now it's good but it's more main stream now.

He could buy quite a lot of sheep with the money to get his herd started out on the farm.

Do you think Burzum will come out with new stuff? I mean, we already heard some of the stuff Varg recorded in prison, but when he is fully released, do you guys know or think the band will get back together and come out with new shit? What are your throughts?

I have no idea what Heavy Metal you have been listening to, but the new Darkthrone stuff is very punkish.

I have no idea what punk you've been listening to, but other than The Cult is Alive, the new Darkthrone stuff isn't very punkish.

Oh dear, I suggest you actually go listen to some crust. F.O.A.D and Dark Thrones have quite a bit of trad/speed/thrash in them. There is a minor punk influence, but it's more of a Motorhead orientated punk thing.

Heck, I think the band describes their genre best, "New Wave of Black Heavy Metal." :D:D

If Varg releases more music, I really hope he releases it under the Burzum name in the end. I'd really like to know what I'm getting if he puts out more stuff.
I would say I could tell by his vox, but hes been in jail so long there's no telling how he sounds anymore.

Varg has previously stated that he wants to release some more books, possibly under a different name than Varg Vikernes to avoid attention but that he wants to release more BURZUM albums.

Reading comprehension has gone out the window in the world I guess.

He really has no chance, the media and whatnot already know where he lives/will live, nice quaint little red place.

He may became the new underwear model for Fruit of the Loom.

OMG! haha... That made me laugh so hard... God, my sides hurt.

The real Varg Vikernes is not that interesting, I think, and there is not much to say about me, and in any case, when I get out of prison, whenever that may be, I will disappear from public view anyhow. As I see it I am a prisoner on a ship ("The Sodom & Gomorrah") - the modern world - heading for disaster, and when I am released from captivity I will jump overboard and swim back to dry land a.s.a.p.. I don't want anything to do with this thoroughly sick so-called civilization, so I will do my best to get away from it all. There will be no more articles like this one, no more (strictly speaking) unnecessary communication with strangers in the modern world and no interviews. I will publish a few books, possibly using a pseudonym in order to stay anonymous, and perhaps a Burzum album or two, but that's it.

I say this because I have been told that some people expect a lot from me when I am released. Well; don't expect anything. Unless You look for my books or albums You can expect to never hear from or about me again. I don't want anything to do with You or the thoroughly sick world You live in. Count me out. I am going home, to the Norwegian countryside, to the wilderness and fresh air, to a healthy farm-life and Mother Earth's embrace. You can have Your plagued urban brothel and Your sick mongrel Hell on Earth to Yourself.
