Enter the sword dance... Part VIII here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bn5r-sU9_JQ&list=UUhBsOxskMpDmBAsgJ91fKcg This is Burzum unplugged, so no: I am in no need of an amp. Remember that I have no Facebook, vKontakte, Twitter, or other social media...

Playing all the riffs from "Sverddans"."Sverddans" translates as "Sword Dance".This track is from 1988 or 1989 (I don't remember exactly), and was originally called "Uruk-Hai".Yes, I did like Tolkien's Middle-earth.As you can see from the book lying here, I still do.Before 1991, Burzum was a thrash metal band called "Uruk-Hai".

Some serious "Destruction" influence there. I did like their "Infernal Overkill" album, and you can probably tell from this track.Other albums I liked:
  • Kreator's "Pleasure to Kill"
  • All of Iron Maiden
  • The Cure's "Disintegration"
  • Tchaikovsky's "Swan lake" & "The Nutcracker"
Add this on top of that.I included this tracks on "Belus" for nostalgic reasons.It reminds me of the mostly good times, when I played role-playing games with my friends.We liked MERP (first edition) the most.*Sigh*... What once was is long gone now.You can find a proper version of this track on the "Belus" album.
