Mayhem had a similar fate, getting known through the imagery and the extreme stupidity of some of the band members instead of their musical endeavours, a bad thing since Mayhem is probably the most original out of all old school black metal bands managing to do not sound the same album after album.Īfter 15 years of prison, Varg Vikernes releases Belus, a much anticipated album by a fan-base eager to listen to a proper follow-up to Filosofem after two mediocre to disappointing ambient albums (I'll give him credit for the lack of logistics in prison). No offense to Varg, but he sure made a lot of waves in his youth with his escapades and while I do not contest the value of his early works, I still do wonder if he got known and appreciated through them. Sometimes I have to wonder if Burzum is known for the shenanigans of the mastermind behind it or for the music.
