Burzums (Darkness is Tolkien's Mordor language) is the musical project of Varg Vikernes (under the pseudonym "Count Grishnackh"). It began during 1991 in Bergen, Norway and quickly became prominent within the early Norwegian black metal scene. During 1992–1993, Burzum recorded four albums that played a key role in the development of black metal. However, in 1993 Vikernes was convicted and imprisoned for the murder of guitarist Øystein "Euronymous" Aarseth and the arson of several churches. While imprisoned, Vikernes has recorded two albums in the dark ambient style.
Controversial because of Varg Vikernes (born Kristian Vikernes on February 11, 1973) and his prsumed National Socialist sympathies (which he denied while still embracing some kind of cult to unchristian, uncommunist, uncapitalist white traditional European millenary culture) yet essential to understand the modern Black Metal scene, Burzum is a "band" people either love or hate. Try it and make your own mind. (Thanks to Lord Yorik for selecting the tracklist of this compilation)

You're welcome dear S.F.P. ;) I'm glad to have collaborated on one post of this great blog.
Let me add one advice to it: Listeners should rather listen to each title separately, rather than listening to the whole tracklist at once. The feelings that emanate from each track are sometimes so different from one song to another that they just don't melt. [And without evoking the production differences that can surprise too...]
As you've written it S.F.P., it 'll be either liked or hated, nonetheless it has to be known.
Thanks for those clarifications aimed to the potential listener Yorik!
You're welcome to make us other compilations if you wish...
