Since this site Burzum, I think you Burzum interesting, so I tell you some things about Burzum, which had not been previously mentioned. All groups have origin, the beginning and the reason by which they exist. Therefore, I will start with the fact that tell why there Burzum, and why he has become as it has become.

In 1988 or 1989, when I had a couple of years to play the guitar, I brought together a group Kalashnikov with the other two guys. We have identified a group of Kalashnikov primarily because so-called my favorite machine. I played in the RPG (Role Games), and when we played in those games, as "Twilight 2000," I have always provided a hero AK-74 (Automatic Kalashnikov 74). I also played in fenteziynye RPG, such as AD & D (Advanced Dungeons And Dragons ") and MERP (Middle-Earth Role-Playing") rules on GM ( "Game Master"), and has been bedeviled Sredizemya fairy world. Therefore, one of our songs called "Uruk-Hai", and soon we replaced the name of the whole group at Uruk-Hai. I do not remember the text of the song, but did not think he was very serious or particularly advanced (pripev was: "Uruk-Hai! You will die" or something like that ...). "Uruk-Hayami", as most fans must know Burzum, called "Higher Orcs" Sauron, that the translation from Black Speeches Mordora language, means "Orkov Race."

According to my teenage submissions Hobbity seemed to me children or simply uninteresting. Dwarf reminded me too greedy capitalist pigs, and they were also quite uninteresting. Their rules were classrooms, and Moriah has been a remarkable place, but I am not very fond of their greed, and who wants to be Shorty? Elves were adorable, beautiful, and particularly their immortality and closeness to nature were classrooms, but they were not glupovaty and fought on the side. Instead, I feel the natural cravings for Sauron, personality, which is primarily introduce to the world of risk, misery and throwing challenge. His One Oko, One Ring and tower-Barad-Dur attributes similar to the attributes one. One Oko was similar to one eye, One Ring seems to ring A, Draupnir ( "Dripper"), and Barad-Dur similar to the throne or Tower One, called Hlidskyalf ( "The ritual Secret Place"). His Uruk-Hai and Olog-Hai ( "Race Troley") were similar to vikingovskih berserkerov, Varga like to odinovyh Werewolves, etc. I liked frenzy "dark forces", and I received great pleasure of their existence, because they did boring and quiet peace dangerous and exciting.

I grew reading traditional Scandinavian fairy tale, in which pagan gods represented "evil" substance, "Troll" and "goblinami", and we all know how Inquisition turned Freire (Gernunnosa / Dionysius / Vakha, etc.) in "Satan ". Tolkien was not better. He turned one of Sauron, and my pagan ancestors Uruk-Haev in combat. For me, "dark force" attack Gondor were Vikings, France attacked Christian Karla Great, "dark forces" were attacked Rohan Vikings, attacked Christian England. And I might add that the Vikings eventually also lost the war, like Sauron with Orca-and I am not alarmed that I was on the side of the losers. I will always be sure that one has to do what is correct, regardless of the consequences, and if I fought for the lost cause, it had no significance. I prefer to die fighting for what believe will live sake than anything else.

But he used not only to the Vikings and the Norwegian language to create orcs and their language. The word "Orca" is actually the name of a tribe, which in ancient times lived in Scotland, the Orkney Islands (also known as Orkadiya). "Orc - gaelskoe word that, as far as I know, translates as" Hog. " In the cult warriors native tribes British Isles probably boars used, just as in the Nordic cult warriors berserkerov Werewolves and used bears and wolves. "Orca" were part of a group of tribes that are known to us since the days of the Roman Empire until the Vikings as Pikty Era ( "Colored").

Now it is not surprising why Catholics and Englishman Tolkien used, among other things, "insane, ryzhevolosyh outlaws old Scottish palashami barbarians" and "violent, zhguschih church Scandinavian berserkerov" as models for some of the negative heroes, and because of that attracted me more heroes negative than positive. Well, I had little in common with the "Christian" heroes such as "English" Rohan riders, or "French" residents of Gondor. I was little voshischal "holy" Aragon. Even the elves are few extraneous because Tolkien used the Finnish language when creating their language, and used by Finns as a model when creating them. In fact, they have much in common with elves, as they mainly live in a large forest (Finland), east of the Scandinavian Mountains ( "Gray Gore). Previously, they had lived in Northern Russia, the huge (Myrkwood? [Dark Lesa]) forest, west of the Ural Mountains. In addition, they are very bright people (belokurye), and they like the elves in part molchalivy, melanholichny, unusual and terse. Mysterious, if you like. For me, language elves sounded alien and incomprehensible, just as not understand the Finnish language, while black and orkskaya It was clearly based on the language of my ancestors. So Uruk-Hai as the title group was a logical choice.

The drummer and bass player Uruk-Hai were people whom I met by chance in one way or another. I already knew the drummer on an earlier acquaintance when we were (somewhere between) 12-15 years, and he sent a loaded .375-Magnum revolver th my head on the eve of the New Year, because he thought that I called him " fat man "(an excellent excuse to send arms to the head man, Agha ...). In fact, I called the "fat man" is not his, and his friend, telling him about it-all. "Em, Ok," he said, and behind me (enough). His interest in the execution of music was, I believe, "normal" - that is, "sex, drugs and Rock and roll." Another guy in Uruk-Hai played the bass only because he wanted trahat girls-in other words, it was the usual "rok-n-rollerom." Ideally, it should play the guitar because guitarist because some supernatural causes more like girls, but even the wing he did not know how to play bass. Then in 1989, I met guys from the Old Funeral, which were excellent and serious musicians, and we threw Uruk-Hai draft. Two other party Uruk-Hai already fought for the girl, and we stopped train, so send Uruk-Hai was not yet at work. I played in Old Funeral for a period of two years, and then turned from Old Funeral really cool tehno-tresh group boring Death Metal Group. Although it was not my fault, as they have already moved from tehno-tresha of Death Metal, when I joined them. For this reason, I eventually left Old Funeral, because I want to play their own music, more original music and personality than the music that we played in Old Funeral at that time (1989-1991 biennium.).

(You may have noted the name of Old Funeral foolish. in their protection, I must say that I think they originally called simply Funeral. Later, they learned that another group also called Funeral, but they used that name to another group Funeral, so they replaced him at Old Funeral. other words, they were "old Funeral" rather than Old Funeral, so this is not as silly as it seems at first glance.)

Rather than revive the draft Uruk-Hai, I changed the name and decided to do everything themselves, although I used some of the reefs Uruk-Hai. I did not want to play and maybe my motivation to perform music very different from the traditional "rok-n-rollnoy" motivation. Playing in Old Funeral, I was interested in RPG and I was still very inspired magic of imagination. I think I said that he was Burzum occult concept, but accurate to say it was a magical concept, or the concept, based on the magic of imagination. All in Burzum was not of this world, even the name.

As I said, while Christians are called gods of my ancestors "demons", "Troll," "goblinami" and last but not least "evil", I was naturally attracted all that the Christians felt "bad". Perhaps this somewhat immature reaction, but I was just a teenager, so I am not concerned about it. I still adhere to this position in 1991, and was an excellent Uruk-Hai name, but I feel that everything, starting from scratch, so I might also have a new name. As most Tolkien fans should know, "Burzum" is one of the words written in Black Speeches at the Sauron One Ring. I think the last sentence reads: "ash nazg durbabatuluk agh burzum ishi krimpatul", which means "one ring to gather them together and to conclude them in the darkness." "go" for Christians was, of course, my "light". So, in general, it was natural for me to use the name Burzum.
