BURZUM - “Filosofem” (1996)« The “Filosofem” album was my first attempt to distance myself from the “Black Metal” trend, and was in reality an anti-Black Metal album, just like my first few albums had been anti-death metal albums. Unfortunately nobody understood this, and instead “Filosofem” just set new standards for what was to be defined as “Black Metal”. Of course “Dauði Baldrs” and “Hliðskjálf” really made my point clear, that I did not play “Black Metal”, but by then it was in a sense too late. The parody of so-called Black Metal that we today know as “Black Metal” had already become a huge sub-culture and a genre in itself. » — Varg Vikernes’ interview on “Metal Crypt E'Zine” (2005) -- source link
