Metal Sucks have posted a nice spoof on Burzum merchandise with an Imperial Clothing twist. Ever wanted baseball caps or even mosh shorts of Burzum? I don’t actually, but they are well made! For more pictures see Metal Sucks or click on “Keep Reading”

On a more serious note, Burzum has just released his new album ´Fallen´, his second album since his release from prison. It’s on heavy rotation at the Incubate HQ! See his website for more information.

Varg Vikernes (a.k.a. Count Grishnackh, born Kristian Vikernes), the Burzum mastermind who was convicted of murdering Mayhem guitarist Oystein Aarseth (a.k.a. Euronymous) in August 1993 and setting fire to three churches, has finished writing nine songs for Burzum’s new album, which he hopes to release next year. He tells Norway’s Dagbladet that several record labels are interested in issuing the band’s first LP in eleven years. “I want to take my time [with the album], so that I can get it the way I like it,” Vikernes says. “It will be metal, and the fans can expect to hear some real Burzum.”

Dagbladet has posted several exclusive excerpts from Varg Vikernes’ as-yet-unpublished book which he wrote during his nearly-16-year prison stay. The book contains Varg’s personal account of of what transpired in the years from the Norwegian black metal community’s inception in 1991 until he was convicted for murder and church fires three years later.

Dagbladet: Do you regret the fact that you killed another human being?

Vikernes: “I cannot regret the fact that I took the life of someone who wanted to kill me. I felt threatened by his plans, but it was never my intention to kill.”

From Blabbermouth.

Best known as the leader of Burzum, Vikernes was also a far-right political activist.

Though he was refused four times for parole – most recently in September 2008 – Vikernes is now set to walk free, he told Daglabet magazine.

“I’m ready for society — and I have been for many years,” Vikernes emphasised in an interview last July. “I have learned from my mistakes and become older. Now I just want to be together with my family … I have barely seen my son since he came into the world. Even though I hear his voice on the phone almost every day, it is very tough to not be present while he is growing up.”
