To Hell and Back Again: Part IV: My Burzum Story (Norway & France: 1987-2024) (Paperback Book)

by Varg Vikernes

"This is the story about my music, or about me as a musician, if you like. I am Burzum. Burzum is me. Even if I have somewhat retired as a musician, Burzum is still me. It always will be, whether I like it or not.
In this book I will talk about how I made the music, the recordings, things that happened in that context, what spirit it was done in, and much more. I cannot add tabs, because today I do not even remember even 10% of the riffs I played. I would have to sit down and try to remember it again, and I do not think it is worth all that time and effort. Also, if I did, I could well make mistakes anyhow, leaving the result less than satisfactory. Further, I know many want to know these things, but I do not remember the type or names of the synthesizers I used (save for the debut album, where I talk a bit about that), or the drums or any other instruments - with one single exception: I know I had a pearl white Western Pantera guitar..."
