"Umskiptar" is a studio album by the Norwegian black metal project Burzum, released in 2012. This CD edition, produced by BACK ON BLACK, showcases Varg Vikernes' unique approach to atmospheric and raw black metal with influences from Norse mythology and Old Norse poetry. The album stands out for its immersive soundscapes and introspective lyrics, offering listeners a journey through ancient Scandinavian themes. Burzum has been a pioneering force in the black metal scene since the early 1990s, known for influential albums such as "Hvis lyset tar oss" and "Filosofem." BACK ON BLACK is renowned for high-quality reissues of classic heavy metal and rock albums on vinyl and CD formats, ensuring collectors receive premium packaging and audio fidelity.
The music is pure Burzum, full of chainsaw guitars, repeated motifs in the songs, and full, epic sweep. Changes in dynamics, such as the solo piano in Alfadanz and the pounding drums that open the album, break things up without jarring the listener or detracting from the atmospheric spell that Vikernes weaves.
