thread_title:  Merger proposal 

message: I think that the name Burzum comes from "orcish" as created by J.R.R. Tolkien, meaning "darkness".  Most famously the last line of the ring inscription reads, "agh burzum ishi krimpatul", and in the darkness bind them.  I'm not sure however if this is simply a coincidence- and I know absolutely nothing about this project.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Dalzay (talk • contribs) 15:56, 21 April 2009 (UTC)

message: Can anyone find any information on a Burzum reissue?  I can only find the Misanthropy reissue with the Aske EP in 1995.  Every other source states that it is "rare" because the album had never been re-released. -- Death666 18:01, 7 February 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Original Burzum album reissued

message: can someone please have actual information about the burzum music, rather than just talking about varg's beliefs and the church burnings and the murder of euronymous? fair enough, that stuff needs to be mentioned, but this article is about "BURZUM", therefore, it should be about the album releases, and the musical style of the band. not JUST the history of varg. i personally think that all the information on varg should be on VARG's page, and leave the music information on burzum and add some more!

thread_title: Burzum not a band?

message: The intro says Burzum was formed in 1987, while the body says it was formed in 1991 after a series of other bands. --Delirium 06:45, Jun 20, 2005 (UTC)
I believe that was the time when he was actually active with the band, there were no Burzum releases until 1991 even though it might have begun in 1987.
--aenimated
:: The website Burzum Official website says copyright Varg Vikernes and Burzum 1991 - 2006. That means the band officially started in 1991. Darksteel 12:05, 14 August 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  1987 or 1991? 

message: Sources on this subject are almost universally questionable.  However, as I understand it, Vikernes was never convicted of Arson.  He is in prison for the murder of Eronymous.  The Fantoft Kirk, which he photographed the ashes of for his second album "Aske", was set fire by a 16 year old female fan of the group.  Vikernes certainly instigated this; in his trial for Eronymous' murder he claimed he was building an army of church arsonists, and that he couldn't be stopped.  I think the most they legally have on him is "Conspiracy to commit Arson".  He never actually set fire to a church.
It's debatable whether he actually set fire to any of the churches, but they never convicted him of this. -Reaper-
: In the video of his sentencing, the voice over and captions say "Vikernes was found guilty of wilful murder, arson in Oslo - Skjold and Asane Churches, and for Storetveit Church's tower in Bergen." He also mentions the fact that he was convicted of arson several times in "A Burzum Story" found on www.burzum.org. I believe its under "The Lie - Propaganda" part.

thread_title:  Murder / Arson? 

message: Varg was born simply Kristian Larsson Vikernes.  Kvisling was legally appended to his name later after varg took a profound liking to Vidkun Quisling, the Norwegian fascist.
: No. Quisling (Qisling) means "descended from one of the kings ancestry" - He beleives he is related to the king of Norway - not that he is related to Harald V or any of his family - probably Vikernes' way of saying he is an earthly form of Wuotan.
::It was actually a name in his family that he adapted to his own, but it is a surname in his lineage. But this debate goes in the Vikernes article not here. 4.255.49.247 (talk) 16:04, 6 July 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Removed "Kvisling" 

message: Two sentences from the article: "Varg Vikernes expects to be released from his sentence early, around August 2006, and intends to continue Burzum." — "He will not continue the band when he is released and has disavowed himself from the black metal scene entirely." Which is it? —Quirk 13:59, 24 December 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: It seems to me he just said he'd stopped the band to stop rumours about new releases coming out and had no plans to make anything new in the near future. Currently it seems he doesn't care if he continues it or not, but he has not ruled it out completely, if that makes sense. :/ --Etakistan 05:58, 5 February 2006 (UTC)
replies: text:  actually if you read the most recent addition to his series of articles A Burzum Story: The Tommorrow (or something like that), he does state that when he is relised he will be realising 1 or 2 burzum albums--Frenrir1 20:51, 14 June 2006 (UTC)
replies: text:  Says he might release some books, and maybe some music album or two, yes. it is not sure though. I believe that he hasn't decided yet to do it or not. Darksteel 12:05, 14 August 2006 (UTC)

message: Emocore is listed in the genre box.  Is this accurate?  I'm not terribly familiar with the band but this seems more than a little suspect.  Unless someone confirms that Burzum is in fact an emocore band, I will assume that this label is vandalism and remove it. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 24.238.170.154 (talk) 20:42, 15 December 2006 (UTC)

message: I'm getting rather bored of the genre warring on this article. I don't massively care about the inclusion of "ambient black metal" thing, but if we're going to have it, can we have a reliable source for it. Google turns up a bunch of hits, but the first hit was Anus.com which is always a worry. I'm personally of the opinion that the subgenre has no notability, but if you can find something in, say, a print source then feel free to stick it back in. Until such a source appears, please refrain. Blackmetalbaz (talk) 21:00, 13 April 2009 (UTC)
