The Burzums - Dunkelheit (Original 1960s Trve Kvlt surf music)

The Burzums was the musical project by Charlie “Varg“ Vikernes. It began during 1961 in Bergen, California and quickly became prominent within the early Californian surf scene. During 1962 and 1963, The Burzums recorded four albums; however, in 1964 Vikernes was convicted and imprisoned for using cuss words in public to describe guitarist Øystein “Euronymous“ Aarseth, and the mild intimidation of the congregations of several milk bars and several churches. While imprisoned, Vikernes recorded two really poor albums in the dark ambient surf style. Dunkelheit first featured on the Burzums’ legendary surf LP Filosofem (literally “Surf’s Up“ in English) recorded on a low budget in the back of a surf shop in Bergen, California using an Edison Phonograph, the cheapest instruments available to Varg and other awesome gadgets to get that famously warm Trve Kvlt sound of sand, sun and surf.
