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.
