(Count Grishnackh) is a singer, guitarist, bassist, keyboardist, drummer, writer and founder of the black metal band, Burzum.

The one is Burzum black metal band of Varg Vikernes (Count or Grishnackh), in which he plays all the instruments. Only the Aske EP 1993 that was attended Vikernes Samoth of - part of the band Emperor - on bass. In 1991 came the first demonstration of Burzum, and in 1992, a self-titled album was released by the label Burzum Deathlike Silence Euronymous (leader of Mayhem). The band's name, and the name "Grishnackh" were taken from the book of fantastic adventure "The Lord of the Rings" by JRR Tolkien. "Burzum" is one of the words that are written in Black Speech on the Ring of Sauron, the last sentence is "ash agh burzum ishi nazg durbabatuluk krimpatul" which means "one ring to attract all of them and unite them through the darkness." Burzum would be "dark"
At first, Burzum was called Uruk-Hai and had some friends of Varg Vikernes. The project was abandoned because Varg up on guitar in the black metal band Old Funeral. Vikernes came back with the Uruk-Hai, but "It was a new beginning, so I needed a new name," was renamed to Burzum. It appeared as black metal, but Varg was never a Satanist and showed no satanic thoughts, ideas had only anti-Christian (Varg rejects the Judeo-Christian religions) and paganism. Paganism was directly related to the cultural roots Nordic in general, as the mythology and history. But the gap caused by ideological dualism that was increasing every album released, and from his last album entitled "Daudi Baldrs" (1997) and "Hlidskjalf" (1999) Burzum ceased to be part of Black Metal, both in the selected theme and musically, it replaced all the old instruments for only a keyboard and making a style of music called Ambient - Dead Can Dance is one of the inspirations for this distance and instruments like the electric guitar for "security reasons".
He was not interested in Satanism or other "creations Christian," but by the Norse gods and the "rediscovery of the true Norwegian race and culture." Thus, the creator of Burzum abandoned the anti-Christian themes and self-claimed to be a Viking, defending the very ideas that enhance the Nordic race. His pride and adoration for Nordic culture were so many that it was inevitable rapprochement with Nazism, but Varg is not a Nazi.
In 1993 Varg Vikernes stabbed Euronymous kills, and fellow member of the band Mayhem in parts because Euronymous was the envy of Varg for stealing his space in the black metal scene Vikernes and expose their lies, but he did not think about killing Aarseth but the contrary, was in a position of self-defense. In 1999 Varg Vikernes confirms the end of your project, Burzum and ends. On May 22, 2009 (Ten years have confirmed the end of Burzum), Varg Vikernes leave prison and start recording another album. Initially the name of this album would be "Den Hvítá Guden," but Varg chose to change the title to Belus. The Burzum reborn in March 8, 2010 with the album expected Belus, after 11 years, with the sound like Hvis Lyset Tar Oss and Philosophy. The album has no religious conten.
