Umskiptar
Burzum s decade-plus of musical experimentation continues
with Umskiptar finding inspiration from the verses of famous
scandinavia poem Voluspa. Expanding the ongoing influence
of Nordic folk, the album adds more traditional heavy metal,
signature Burzum composition, but with a keener emphasis on
vocal delivery (again presented in Vikernes native tongue).
Vikernes says, Umskiptar is a return-to-roots album for me,
with a strong focus on atmosphere and wholeness. The vocals
are more important than on any previous album with a total of
66 stanzas making up the album s lyrics.
