Description: Burzum (/ˈbɜːrzəm/; Norwegian: [ˈbʉ̀rtsʉm]) is a Norwegian music project founded by former Mayhem member Varg Vikernes in 1991. Although Burzum never played live performances, it became a staple of the early Norwegian black metal scene and is considered one of the most influential acts in black metal's history.[4][5][6][7] The word "burzum" means "darkness" in the Black Speech, a fictional language crafted by The Lord of the Rings writer J. R. R. Tolkien.[8][9] Burzum's lyrics and imagery are often inspired by fantasy and Norse mythology.
