“To record an album is cathartic, or at least it was with 'Belus,' but to make music is more fulfilling than anything else, I think.”

Norwegian musician

Varg Vikernes, also known as Louis Cachet, is a Norwegian musician born in 1973. He became known through the black metal project Burzum and later for his violent crimes and far-right politics. Between 1992 and 1996, he released five albums as Burzum, and he is often described as an influential figure in the early Norwegian black metal scene and its National Socialist offshoot. In 1994, he was convicted of the murder of guitarist Øystein "Euronymous" Aarseth and of burning four Christian churches in Norway. He received a 21-year prison sentence and was released after serving 15 years.
