Fallen is the 9th studio album from Burzum, and follows the highly critically acclaimed 2010 release Belus which put Burzum straight back at the at the top of the chain as of one of the most innovative and creative metal artists of our time. Fallen follows Belus in sound and structure, and can also be compared to the music on the groundbreaking DET SOM ENGANG VAR. Fallen is more dynamic and hard hitting then Belus and has an even bigger sound, but still carries the same trademark melodic melody lines throughout that makes Burzum sound so iconic and unique.
Burzum says of the new album and his style of music:
"Musically FALLEN is like a cross between BELUS and something new, inspired more by the debut album 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. Lyric wise it is similar to the debut album, in the way that it is more personal and focuses on existential issues, but the mythological undertone known from BELUS is still there. I have also included some ambient tracks – a short introduction and a longer conclusion."

Bless my fuck, is this a legit link?!? Looks like I know what I'm doing with my afternoon and evening and tomorrow. Gonna pick up a satchel after work, donate $50 to Hamas and get down to business.
i wish he wouldn't make comparisons to old albums, it's not going to sound anything like Det Som En Gang Var. Just continue doing what feels right and let it weed out the fakes.

it doesnt you are right. the clean vocals are different, but interesting after a few listens
no. it's just boring. enhter til sitt was the best song. most people just like this band for cult status and stabbing people i assume. i'd rather listen to enslaved, agolloch, drudkh, darkthrone or something that interests me.
if you were a fan of burzum, you wouldn't think it'd be boring. let alone you'd be into the rest of the catalog. it's okay to not like it, it's not for everyone.

i was plowing yesterday morning blasting this through my headphones. rocked the shit out the wheels, if you know what i mean, perfect timing and tempo while stoned.
Havent heard the new album yet, but people I know who have been listening to burzum for years have told me this is one of the best albums. I hope I can get my hands on it soon.
interesting. just read what he used to record this album:
"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.
I'd have to agree. Both Belus and Fallen are good albums (the latter the better) but I think both of them dwindle away as it goes on. It's like an orgasm then limp dick all of a sudden. Then again, I know most people love the full album. I'd have to be cliche and say the earlier works are better.
