Commented Shah: “‘Consider This’ is about choice — you have two paths, there are external forces from each paths that are trying for you to consider them. Artwork-wise I deviated from the actual lyrical story which is about the darker side of the universe is trying to convince man by giving him valid reasons to consider it over the other side of the universe, and the man chooses the darker side. My interpretation is the opposite, where the brighter side is trying to convince man and prevails. The lyrical content and artwork are choices as well.”

Burzum to release new album this March

Varg Vikernes’ one man project Burzum is all set to release yet another album. Titled “Fallen”, its going to be released under Varg’s own label Byelobog productions. Quoting the man himself :

“Musically “Fallen” is like a cross between “Belus” and something new, inspired more by the début 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 début album, in the way that it is more personal and focuses on existential issues, but the mythological undertone known from “Belus” is still there. I have also included some ambient tracks – a short introduction and a longer conclusion.”

It is set to release on 7th March, 2011. For more details including tracklisting and pre-orders, check here.
