I am NOT Varg Vikernes and this site
has nothing to do with Burzum.org
Kristian Vikernes was born on the 11th of February 1973 at 21:58 in Bergen, Norway. In 1993, he legally changed Kristian to Varg and later started to use the name Varg Qisling Larss?n Vikernes as his pen-name. Varg, which means ``wolf``, says that he's related to the Quisling family, a name that even became a word after Vikdun Quisling, a Norwegian political leader during the second war, who founded a collaborationist pro-Nazi government. One side of his family was used the name Qisling, without the ``u``.
Varg's first band was known as Uruk-Hai, formed around 1988-89. In mid-1990 Varg took a one-year break, which he spent playing in Old Funeral, and later in Satanel, which he formed with Abbath of Immortal (Nor).
In 1991, when Satanel disbanded, Vikernes revived his project, changing the name to Burzum (which translates to ``darkness``). Handling all instruments and vocals by himself, he then proceeded to write and record albums at a frightening rate; five albums - the S/T through ``Filosofem`` - were recorded in the space of little more than one year, even though most of them were released later. In addition to all that, he joined Mayhem (Nor) on bass, as well.
In the wake of the notoriety surrounding the church burnings, and finally the murder of Mayhem's leader Euronymous in 1993, Vikernes faced a trial and was sentenced to 21 years in prison (the sentence has recently been reduced to 18 years). Not allowed to have a guitar in his cell, and proclaiming all rock/metal-based music to be culturally alien and non-Aryan in origin, he chose to continue Burzum in a keyboard-based, neoclassical/pagan ambient vein for the two albums that followed.
Varg chose to end Burzum in late 2000, disappointed that fans were still connecting Burzum with Satanism, despite his allegiance to Paganism and extremist NS politics. Still in jail, he now concentrates on writing and political activity.
While in prison, Varg has published three books mostly relating to the history of Norway, Norse mythology and philosophy: ``Vargsmel``, ``Irmins?l`` and ``Germansk Mytologi Og Verdensanskuelse``. He continues to publish books and articles, most which are political and about religion. See www.Burzum.org for all of his articles and books.
According to Varg, because Euronymous was too incompetent to release Burzum albums on Deathlike Silence Records, Varg decided to start his own label called Burznazg (in Tolkien's Black Speech that is ``Dark Ring``), that was later (in late 1992) changed to Cymophane (Greek: ``Wave to appear``, the name of a gem that is shaped like an eye) and do everything himself.
