Most reissues of the album have been released as Burzum/Aske which includes the Aske EP as the final three tracks.[1] Only the Aske version of "A Lost Forgotten Sad Spirit" was included on this edition.
It is considered a landmark in the black metal genre.
Music
Gregory Heaney of AllMusic said Buzum has a "trancelike sound that hypnotizes listeners with its buzzing guitars and ever-present blastbeats that give the music a repetitive, almost ritual-like quality."[2]
Legacy
Gregory Heaney of AllMusic gave the album four and a half stars out of five and said it was "definitely an essential listen for any black metal fan."[2]
In 2018, Revolver wrote: "Remarkable for its militaristic severity and creepy synth ambience, Burzum remains one of black metal’s earliest masterpieces."[3]
Note:Burzum/Aske renames track 3 as "Spell of Destruction" as Vikernes claims the word "Black" was added to the title by Euronymous without his knowledge. Track 2 is also amended to "Ea, Lord of the Depths".
