Burzum ‎– Hvis Lyset Tar Oss (1994)


Country: Norway

Tracklist
1. Det Som En Gang Var 14:21
2. Hvis Lyset Tar Oss 08:04
3. Inn I Slottet Fra Drømmen 07:51
4. Tomhet 14:12

"Hvis Lyset Tar Oss" is the third studio album by Norwegian black metal solo project Burzum
It was recorded in September 1992, but was not released until April 1994, 
whereupon it was released through Misanthropy Records and Vikernes' own record label, Cymophane Productions.
Varg Vikernes recorded the first four Burzum albums between '92 and '93 at the GriegHallen studio. 
However, the releases were spread out, with many months between the recording and the release of each album. 
By that time Vikernes became a part of the Norwegian black metal scene and befriended Mayhem guitarist Euronymous
The two developed a feud that culminated in Vikernes stabbing Euronymous to death in his apartment in August 1993. 
He was arrested a few days later and was sentenced to 21 years in prison for murder and several church arsons.
The album cover features a drawing by 19th century artist Theodor Kittelsen named Fattigmannen (The Pauper). 
Vikernes dedicated the album to Fenriz of fellow Norwegian black metal band Darkthrone 
and Demonaz from Norwegian black metal band Immortal
Promotional copies sent to fanzines included the song "Et Hvitt Lys Over Skogen" instead of "Tomhet". 
"Et Hvitt Lys Over Skogen" later appeared on the 1998 compilation album Presumed Guilty.
According to Vikernes,
"Hvis Lyset Tar Oss" is a concept album.

The post is dedicated to the newest and, eventually, biggest Burzum fan ever:


Thanx for the photo my friend, you must be a proud dad! \m/

Country: Sweden

Tracklist
1. Mossen 07:12
2. Ankomster Utanför Tiden 11:38
3. Den Barbariska Söndagen 14:26
4. Tusen År & Sju Timmar 08:14

Anna Själv Tredje were a Swedish electronic duo, that took their name from Leonardo da Vinci's painting
 ”The Virgin and Child with Saint Anne”, and released their only album, Tussilago Fanfara on Silence in 1977.
The duo consisted of Ingemar Ljungström and Mikael Bojen
The band obviously got their main inspiration from mid-70's Klaus Schulze, Tangerine Dream, Ash Ra Tempel etc.
They also did several sessions for Swedish radio show Ton Kraft.
One track (Snöfall Och Daggyra Ur Daggfall Och Snöyra) from such a session 
was included in the compilation series ”Ton Kraft 1977-78”.
Their full Ton Kraft recordings serve as additional albums since they consisted of entirely exclusive material.
In 1980 in Göteborg the band got in touch with Älgarnas Trädgård and later in the 80's the bands merged
 and started Cosmic Overdose, that in its turn became Twice a Man.
The Memory link contains as a bonus the track "Snöfall Och Daggyra Ur Daggfall Och Snöyra".
