As you have probably noticed, the attitude towards the unexpected \u201cV\u00e5rjevnd\u00f8gn\u201d is divided into three categories: 1) shit and fraud; 2) fraud, but not shit, since music is good; 3) Fenriz is god!!1 aaarrrrgh true metal cult!!11 Carriers of opinion from the third category can be immediately swept aside, because these fools will lick vomit from the floor if it will resemble another \"cool\" and \"funny\" grimace of Fenriz. As for the two remaining options, I stand somewhere in the middle. And although I'm inclined to the first option, the album still needs to be judged soberly<\/p>\n<p>So, \u201cV\u00e5rjevnd\u00f8gn\u201d is really a fraud. Moreover, very cynical fraud. This album has <em>nothing<\/em> in common with \u201cVinterskugge\u201d and \u201cH\u00f8stm\u00f8rke\u201d. After \u201cTraditional Doom Cult,\u201d however, it was expected. Material, written from 1989 to 1993, represents Fenriz's attempts <em>to play<\/em> doom and a bit of grindcore. The archivists know that ISENGARD was once called PILIGRIM SANDS, and some of the doom material written for this project ended up on split with NATTEFROST on behalf of FENRIZ \u2019RED PLANET. However, the split did not sell well, so to speak, and therefore it was decided to release the rest of the material today not even as PILIGRIM SANDS, but as ISENGARD.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, doom was an integral part of ISENGARD, and that relieves some of Fenriz's responsibility. Besides, I believe that a musician is free to do whatever he pleases with his projects. However, these recordings were not released in the 90s or 2000s for a reason. Fenriz can today call \u201cVinterskugge\u201d and \u201cH\u00f8stm\u00f8rke\u201d crap as much as he wants, but the fact remains: in the minds of the listeners, ISENGARD is presented by proud Nordic hymns. There was something sublime in that music, and to this day it remains unique, not repeated by anyone. ISENGARD has taken shape as an integral and complete phenomenon. \u201cV\u00e5rjevnd\u00f8gn\u201d is something a hundred times less peculiar, totally different in spirit and essence. Someone may now start pointing the finger at BURZUM, but such a parallel is absolutely inappropriate. BURZUM, whether it be early metal or posthumous ambient release, is essentially the same, only brightened over the years. The evolution of DARKTHRONE has been stretched out over time, so it is not perceived as some kind of sudden change. But ISENGARD we know and these dusty songs are just different musical and spiritual entities. If \u201cV\u00e5rjevnd\u00f8gn\u201d was a compilation (and taking into account the variation in the age and sound of the songs, it is) it would be easier to get into the situation. But since this is presented as a full-length album, the standards are different.<\/p>\n<p>\u0422\u0430\u043a \u0447\u0442\u043e \u0436\u0435 \u0441 \u043f\u0435\u0441\u043d\u044f\u043c\u0438,
