new burzum album - "fallen" march 2011
 

Musically "Fallen" is like a cross between "Belus" and something new, inspired more by the début album and "Det Som Engang Var" than by "Hvis Lyset Tar Oss" or "Filosofem". The sound is more dynamic – we mastered the album as if it was classical music – and I was more experimental than I was on "Belus" in all respects. Lyricwise it is similar to the début album, in the way that it is more personal and focuses on existential issues, but the mythological untertone known from "Belus" is still there. I have also included some ambient tracks – a short introduction and a longer conclusion.

"Fallen" was recorded and mixed during two weeks in Grieghallen studios, using a Spectar bass with alembic electronics on a VOX AC50 amp from 1965, a Ludwig drum kit (with a 26 inch kick) from 1975, a Neumann M149 microphone and stereo Schoeps CMTS 501 U microhpones for vocals, an OBH Nordica Harmony 6487, a custom Stig instrument and a Peavey 23 guitar on a Peavey 6505 (120 Watt) amp.

The picture on the front cover of "Fallen" is a part of a painting, "Élégie" (Eng. "Elegy"), by William Adolphe Bouguereau.

PS. Yes, both "Fallen" and "Valen" translates into English as "Fallen".

"Fallen" will be released worldwide on Byelobog Productions on the 7th March 2011.

very excited for this, even though "belus" was fairly average. this one sounds much more promising.

You know, I think I liked it better when he was in jail..... the last one was total dogshit.......

I like the cover, but if it sounds crap like his last album (Belus), I think I will stay with his old albums. Filosofem is a classic.

I also love his two synthesizer albums he made in jail, they were cool as hell.

More dynamic? That sounds better then Belus....

I know I'm in the minority, but I liked Belus. The fact there will be a couple of ambient tracks makes me more excited.

YES!!! Aske + Det Sum Engang Var are my favorite Burzum albums. I'm fucking pumped!
