Burzum's self titled LP is essential early black metal, influential, fresh and telling of the era. It is strongly repetitive, but despite this the songs do have varied and interesting parts which are more or less good ideas stretched out longer for maximum effect. The production is very good for an early black metal album, where as normally the more thin and tinny it gets the more character it has (e.g. A Blaze In The Northern Sky by Darkthrone) but this holds up well with a just a slightly murky mix by Euronymous on producing duties. The fact that one man created such atmosphere out of so little is quite astounding as there is a very immersive quality to the insanity here, Varg's description of trance inducing "magick" almost a warranted compliment because of this. Once you get a taste for it, this is a beautiful darkness which you may never want to leave.
