Burzum- Fallen LP

IMPORTED FROM THE UK

Musically "Fallen" is like a cross between "Belus" and something new, inspired more by the dbut album and "Det Som Engang Var" than by "Hvis Lyset Tar Oss" or "Filosofem". The sound is more dynamic we mastered the album as if it was classical music and I was more experimental than I was on "Belus" in all respects. Lyricwise it is similar to the dbut album, in the way that it is more personal and focuses on existential issues, but the mythological untertone known from "Belus" is still there. I have also included some ambient tracks a short introduction and a longer conclusion.

"Fallen" was recorded and mixed during two weeks in Grieghallen studios, using a Spectar bass with alembic electronics on a VOX AC50 amp from 1965, a Ludwig drum kit (with a 26 inch kick) from 1975, a Neumann M149 microphone and stereo Schoeps CMTS 501 U microhpones for vocals, an OBH Nordica Harmony 6487, a custom Stig instrument and a Peavey 23 guitar on a Peavey 6505 (120 Watt) amp.

The picture on the front cover of "Fallen" is a part of a painting, "lgie" (Eng. "Elegy"), by William Adolphe Bouguereau.
