I'm all for demented murderers creating music.

What is it exactly that makes him demented? The way he tells it, it sounds like self-defence - he killed his guitarist to save his own life. Maybe the guitarist was the demented maniac...

Why not give Burzum the benefit of the doubt?

That may well be true but if you've read a lot of the shite he's spouted over the years, it's hard to not think he's a double bass drum short of a black metal band.

Yes, well, I wasn't being entirely serious in that last post. But still, we'll never know what made him do it. It's hard to trade places with Burzum. Talk about big shoes to fill...

Burzum is the band, the dude himself is Count Grishnack.

Did they not teach you this shit at school?

Music: NOT CRAP, even the keyboard-only albums are pretty good, considering they were composed entirely on a keyboard whilst he was in prison.

Dude: CRAP. He did it because he was an egotistical, homophobic, racist bastard, essentially. That's really all there is to it.

Filosofem might be the best winter album ever. Totally not crap.
