Burzum, Belus Proceeds To Go To Haiti Relief

Share






Alright, you can file this bit of news under weird.  It would seem that Burzum’s label, which ‘Belus’ will be released, is donating a portion of the proceeds to benefit victims of the Haitian earthquake.  Seriously?  In the same press release announcing the Haitian funds, Burzum's frontman/only man, Vikernes stated the following: “It was the dark, the Dionysiac, and that is a force no man can control. Instead, I pursue the pure and honorable, which includes racial purity for Norwegians, and helping those who suffer misfortunes in life.”   The album ‘Belus’ will be released worldwide on March 8, including Haiti on Byelobog Records.  I guess if any Haitians wanted to listen to “racially pure” music and help themselves, a simple trip to the local earthquake ravished record store will do the trick.

Hey - crazy write-up. Just last night we had a 4.4 magnitude earthquake in Los Angeles. That's not too big but it gets me a bit worried about these types of things. Anyway... nice site - I'm subscribed to your RSS feed now so I'll check in more often!

Thats a really interesting perspective to hear from. If you like the music, rock it. Separate the art from the artist. Otherwise just leave him alone you know? People like that are best ignored when they start ranting and raving. For the record though when Varg was younger he was much worse. I think its comprehensible to believe he has mellowed out- I mean, are you the same person today that you were 10 years ago? 20?

I happen to be an ethnically Haitian fan of burzum, probably one of a handful , LOL. First, this sounds very much like a hoax ! If it's true then I have found some new respect for Varg, which is nice because I've been enjoying his music as a guilty pleasure for many years. Him being racist has bothered me a bit but not that much, especially since his racism was more of the "i want to be left alone with my people and my blood" kind of racism, which is OK as far as I'm concerned. I'm absolutely not one of those black people who resent others for having racial pride. If he's really doing this, it reinforces my strong belief that racism and ethnocentrism does not have to be something negative. At the very least it solidifies my belief that being a racist does NOT make someone automatically evil and despicable. I will concede that it makes someone more *likely* to be evil, but it does not *imply* evil. Just hoping this is for real because I'm going to look very foolish otherwise :)

Don't hate on the man trying to do good things. So what if he once was a murderous, church burning racist?

Random. Maybe good 'ole Varg is turning around... or maybe he, like Irish said in the forum, has a really fucking good publicist. Probably the publicist one.
