Varg Vikernes Career
Vikernes started playing guitar at the age of 14. When he was 17, Vikernes came into contact with members of Old Funeral. He played guitar with them during 1990–1991 and performed on their Devoured Carcass EP before he began his solo musical project, Burzum, and quickly became involved with the early Norwegian black metal scene. During 1992–1993, he recorded four albums as Burzum.
Vikernes has stated that for the recording of these early albums he used an old Westone guitar, which he had bought in 1987 from an acquaintance. He used the cheapest bass guitar there was in his local shop and borrowed a drum kit from Old Funeral, the successor band Immortal, and “another musician living nearby”. On Hvis lyset tar oss, he also borrowed Hellhammer’s drum kit, the same one Hellhammer used to record De Mysteriis Dom Sathanas by Mayhem.
He used a Peavey amplifier, but for the recording of Filosofem, he used the amplifier on his brother’s stereo and some old fuzz pedals. For vocals, he would use whatever microphone the sound tech handed him, but during the recording of Filosofem, he intentionally used the worst mic they had, a headset mic. On the track “Dungeons of Darkness”, he used the large gong at Grieghallen for background noise (Euronymous assisted him by beating his fists on it).
In 1992, Vikernes joined the black metal band Mayhem, a year after band member Dead committed suicide on 8 April 1991. Vikernes replaced bassist Necrobutcher, who quit the band because of Euronymous’ treatment of Dead’s suicide.
In late 1994, while in prison, Vikernes wrote a Norwegian-language book called Vargsmål. Vikernes has said he wrote Vargsmål to defend himself against the media. According to Lords of Chaos, Vargsmål became available on the Internet for some time in 1996 but not in a printed form. In 1997, a Norwegian publisher released a paperback edition of the book; its publication was financed by Vikernes’ mother, Helene Bore. As of 1999, Vargsmål was being sold by the Nazi organization Heathen Front via its website.
