ITT: Albums with great cover art but shitty, filthy music

...

you first

sorry

Itaots

This album is overrated garbage and barely contributed to the sound of black metal. Over posted, over referenced garbage no one actually likes and pretends to like to sound cool.

Mayhem is great, Dark Throne is great
Ulver diserves more credit.
Grand Belial's Key is amazing but I refuse to listen to them because they are flat out nazis.

No, he is right. Hvis Lyset Tar Oss is Varg's magnum opus.

Filosofem is good but Hvis Lyset Tar Oss is much better

>barely contributed to the sound of black metal
Dislike it all you want for whatever reason, but this is a big lie. All black metal acts of today, even the leftist ones, metal in general and also several artists outside of metal have said Burzum music has been a big inspiration to them. Not to mention he pretty much invented Atmospheric Black Metal.

This is the correct opinion

Filosofem was supposed to be an "anti-Black Metal" album and some kind of fuck you to the overall Black Metal sound in general that was going on at that time. Transilvanian Hunger too. Which is interesting, because back in '93 the bands didn't sound the same at all.

As for inventing the whole atmospheric hipster shit...We can't blame him entirely for that.

Thanks user
What's your favorite track on Hvis? They're all good but honestly I think Inn i slottet fra droemmen is underrated as fuck

>barely contributed
m8 near enough every dsbm artist apes the fuck out of this album's production style

Metal Burzum should have ended with Inn I Slottet Fra Droemmen. That fucking melody in the end...

>barely contributed to the sound of black metal
You don't have to like this album but this is objectively wrong, take a random sample of 20 bandcamp black metal projects out there and compare them with burzum atmoshit and Mayhem riffshit and 9.75 times out of 10 you'll get something much more similar to Varg's music

I enjoy Det Som En Gang Var the most

Filosofem is great but don't even try to tell me that Rundgang um die transzendentale Säule der Singularität isn't just Varg taking a piss at his listeners.

What's wrong with it? It fits the album perfectly.

it's just too long
There's literally no reason for it to be longer than 10 minutes

under 10 minutes and the effect doesnt work
its no longer or shorter than it should be

OP was later found stabbed 160 times.

Why?

sorry doom metal, but filosofem is the GREATEST metal album to smoke weed to

Yeah, great METAL album with half the album not being metal at all.

filosofem is pure

>Mayhem is great
Only post-Euronymous.

>Only post-Euronymous.
you mean post-Dead

No, I really mean post-Euronymous. Getting Attila Csihar as a replacement for Dead was a great thing, I'll agree on that, but Euro's "true" meme was fucking atrocious and needed to go ASAP.

go away Varg

What?

>Grand Belial's Key is amazing but I refuse to listen to them because they are flat out nazis.

This entire post is a shit show
>barely contributed to the sound of black metal
>Dark Throne
>Muh evil nah sees

It's probably my favorite album of all time but the best part comes at the end of Hvis Lyset Tar Oss when Varg alternates between between the deep booming of the lower strings that loom over the cold distortion and the frantic high notes that cut right through it. The contrast when he switches between the two is pure genius and it still gives me chills after hundreds of listens. The lyrics to the song are about the narrator and some unnamed people/creatures being trapped in a forest glade by a ring of trees and being burned alive by "the goodness of God" and the last riff captures that especially well.

Det som en gang var is just as good but vastly different, it's more of a lamentation of something that's been lost forever/sense of impending doom. There's a melancholy to it while at the same time reveling in the suffering it causes, especially on Lyset

yeah, they did contribute a lot
and nazism sucked badly by the way

>nazism sucked badly by the way
I'm not saying it didn't, I'm saying it's fucking silly to not listen to GBK because they don't think so.

cringe

black metal is a whole garbage genre anyways (along with death metal)

>nazism sucked badly by the way
Find me the post in this thread where someone said the nazis were the good guys.

GBK have always cared a lot what soy boys think, I can assure you. They even printed all those "NO BOYCOTT CAN STOP US" shirts just for fun back in the day.

Seriously speaking, no sieg heils or Hitler praising on any GBK albums. The term "National Socialist Black Metal" didn't exist until '99 either and they had been well on their way by then.

esoteric nazism is cool

They did have a great aesthetic, yeah

Varg Vikernes for sure created atmospheric black metal, this is the same dude that ended up making mostly just synth atmospheric music

That last sentence just made me realize how much of a faggot you are never mind, I actually am mad at myself for replying at all to ya

Thanks OP. You just reminded me that I need to get some more of Varg's music.

Burzum is one of the most influential BM acts ever, only a couple really top them in terms of influence, especially with mordern bands, both in and out of the genre.
you're a fucking dummy

>burzum
>them

t. listened to Disturbed in middle school and thinks he "grew out of metal"

Imagine how blinded by your own biases you have to be to claim filosofem didn't contribute to the sound of black metal.
