Mayhem music was, still is legendary. Varg, his music dark, deep, and timeless. Maybe some can or dont know when I say I dont believe we could have had one without the other. Hail Mayhem! Hail Burzum!
Same, altrough the vocals started to be kinda fine. Especially Dead and the guy singing in Freezing Moon. But other than that, i don't like the overused screams. And i dont very like Black metal in general apart from some riffs. I much prefer Death Metal, it's basically similiar to Black Metal but just better. I recommend you Death, they're amazing. My favorite band.
Euronymus riffs were more aggressive and more headbanging however I find something magic in Varg's work, the atmosphere it's dark, sad, but at the same time is so chilling
I don't know what it is, but I "feel" Varg's music way more than anything else, it speaks directly to my taste. I feel chills every time, even after decades
Euronymous had evil in-your-face riffs, Varg seems to have put more thought and meaning into his melodies and atmosphere. Preference says Varg since he set up a more consistent genre, I’d miss atmospheric bands more if Varg never existed than Euronymous’ contributions
I understand your preference for Burzum's style but Euronymous was the creator of the classic riff of Norwegian black metal (the initial riff of Freezing Moon is killer), Norwegian black metal is unthinkable without its existence.
@@Euronymous80 Yeah I really thought about that but I don't just attribute greatness to innovation but also development and improvement. That's why I rank Megadeth above Metallica or Death above Possessed or Darkthrone above Mayhem. At specific instances in time I'd rank differently though.
@@FDHChidori Of course, Mayhem and Euronymous created the sound, and other bands were in charge of giving it variety and enriching it, on that I completely agree.Only I was telling you that at least for me it is difficult to imagine a Norwegian scene without Euronymous because he was practically the main influence of this, in some way or another what we hear and like are variants of the sound what he was pioner(Bathory sound is some diferent).
@@Euronymous80 Yeah I agree completely, though if I'm solely judging the sound, I dig Varg's stuff more (for now). Life Eternal though, had to learn to play it the moment I heard it :D
I feel like mayhem wouldve been even more heavier if pelle didnt kill himself and varg didnt kill euronymous but instead made De Mysteriis Dom Sathanas as a whole
Varg’s riffs have a deeper, more developed sense of melody. Mayhem riffs are classics in the black metal realm but Burzum was operating on another level, imo.
yeah burzum is clearly the best act to come out of the second wave black metal scene. its just annoying to admit that to normal people since the politics of Varg are quite hard to like.
Euronymous was a phenomenal guitarist and songwriter, and there is no denying that he inspired hundreds of bands and countless of guitarists around the world. However, there's something special and archaic about Varg's riffs. They feel sad, forlorn, and like they're centuries old. It creates a better atmosphere overall and it definitely sets up an emotion of sadness and loss for many of his songs. There are some, however, that punch you in the face, like Lost Wisdom's opening riff and the main riff for War. Either way, they were/are both incredible musicians and I respect their contribution to metal; I will say nothing about either of them as people. There's so much fog around what truly happened and the circumstances of the early black metal scene. I feel they were both at fault for what went down in Norway in the 90's. As I said before though, both are incredible musicians, and I believe it is important to separate the art from the artist. Art takes on its own life after it is created, and if it reaches enough people, the art becomes so far removed from the artist that it can be taken for what it is without regard for who the creator was or is as a person. Fantastic video. I just got into your channel and your music. I'm loving both, and I wish you only good fortune and success.
I hate this kind of Neo-Nazis backstabbers, anywayz.....I absolutely don't know all the REAL facts, like about everybody here, but personally, Burzum just help me sleep and I fuckin' hate his stupid hypocritical attitude via the medias and so on....Just another fuckin' frame out hippie traitor with no fuckin' balls !!!
The idea with "black metal" was to create something unique. Every band in that scene wanted to be as original as possible. It was a reaction to the death metal scene where every band sounded the same.
Well, Euronymous was much more influenced by Sodom and Venom, so the style is more agressive and close to Thrash Metal, and Varg, you can ear it, have more influence (first 2 records) by Bathory and i hear a lot of Iron Maiden on him, so... different styles, both very good
Øystein - Freezing Moon 0:00 Varg - Lost Wistdom 0:59 Øystein - Life Eternal 1:55 Varg - War 2:52 Øystein - Chainsaw Gutsfuck 3:36 Varg - Ea, Lord Of The Depths 4:37 Øystein - Funeral Fog 5:29 Varg - A Lost Forgotten Sad Spirit 6:33 Øystein - Pagan Fears 7:17 Varg - Jesus Tod (Jesu Død) 8:26 Øystein - De Hysteriis Dom Coronas 9:50 Varg - Dunkelheit 10:38
Do you agree with Euronymous' views? cause he was as big if not a bigger shitlord than Varg. And at least Varg believes in his blood and heritage than sending death threats and being a tryhard.
@@paulr935 Euronymous was clearly terrible too and a lot of people in the scene aren't fans of him, his own bandmates have bad things to say about him, and I've read about terrible thing he's done to Dead and manipulating him.
There is something eerie with the atmosphere Burzum creates ... gets burnt inside your memory forever like some voodoo shit It still feels somewhat unique until now to me, mesmerizing. Varg was fucking on point
Your playing is fucking awesome man! I love your tone! personally I’m a bigger Varg fan just cause I tend to lean more towards the atmospheric and emotional side of black metal, but I also love a Euronymous-type violent riff as well every now and then, it really just depends how I’m feelin

Very nice video, I particularly appreciated your picking technique: precise, smooth and seemingly effortless, concentrating all the momentum on the wrist. Excellent tremolo picking, congratulations!
First of all, you absolutely killed it!! Secondly, there are parts where I like Euronymous’s riffs more...but for the majority, Varg’s riffs are preferable. They are more rooted and crisp. More bare and eerie to the ear and soul.
I'm sure they helped each other with comimg out with some new riffs at one point , Varg mentioned it in one of his Vids about how he recorded his albums.
@Big Boi Bobby and His Biscuits That's why I wrote "two of the best" and not "the best". It means that there are many great black metal songs and these two are among them. And there is no "maybe", Dunkelheit and Jesus Tod are great.
Varg le puso una arrastrada a Euronymous musicalmente hablando, sus riffs con esa melodía tan profunda crean la atmósfera perfecta para lo que representaba el black metal en aquel entonces.
No considero que arrastrada. En mi opinión lo que tiene varg es que se dirige muy a lo brutal o a lo atmosférico, mientras que euromymous puede combinar tanto lo agresivo como lo atmosférico en una sola pieza.
Both very underrated guitarists, can you imagine of both had continued to play together and even make Music? Say what you want about Varg, he believes in what he believes, so does Dave Mustaine, etc, but he's a very gifted Musician, Euronymous left a huge mark on metal w Mayhem, two great talents of the guitar in Metal, no doubt. Everyone has tried making riffs like this today is called ''Black Metal''.
Agreed! Ever since I listened to his material when I was muuuuch younger? Before I knew his beliefs, I thought to myself, "He's a mastermind and a sorcerer of some sort". Still think that today. I don't agree with the "self defense" murder he pulled on Euronymous, nor the race extremism(I get he's "mellowed"). But as a musician? A significant standout of his era! And I'm Black!
I love how Varg-centric this is.. given that he also played on most of the Mayhems songs and also contributed some riffs with Snorre to DMDS! Good work, man!!
euronymous tends to have more contagious riffs which is something very good and Varg tends to have more atmospheric riffs, i like much Euro riffs but my vote will certainly go for Varg
Freezing Moon is the ultimate Black Metal riff in my opinion. Dark, heavy, cold yet somehow beautiful. Life Eternal is pretty much the same. Chainsaw Gutsfuck is weirdly hypnotizing. Ea is godsent.
I respect Euronomous for pulling the movement together and creating enough controversy for me to have discovered black metal, and he had a few really good riffs, but ultimately he was a bridge for me to cross over and discover other artists I like better in the scene. I think Varg's music hit deeper emotionally and he's more of a true artist. That said, I will give it to both Euronomous and Varg that De Mysteris Dom Sathanas is one of my favorite black metal songs ever and the guitar, bass, and vocal harmonies together make a masterpiece in beautifully evil music composition.
I mean it still has that classic black metal treble sound but I can hear the bass when you chug too. Listening to their old records is like listening to white noise. You really have talent in mixing
Great idea! I've seen similar videos for different genres, but this is the first I've seen for black metal. It would be awesome if you approached some other bands too. Keep up the good work! 🤘
I always preferred mayhem to burzum but I also love euronymous's style more maybe coz I found mayhem first and they was the first black metal band i found but everything from their beginning to end to beginning again just made them stand out to me more
I was always drawn to Vargs riffs when I was younger but there’s something about Euronymous riffs that’s just sound so archetypal to me. He recorded two albums and with those two records cast such a huge shadow over the entire second wave. P.S. I think the intro to Chainsaw Gutsfuck was actually a Necrobutcher riff. He’s talked a lot about how they used to alternate writing riffs back in the day and how they both made sure that the bass/guitar always got a fair showing in the song.
Sadly, you didn't use some of Varg's best riffs. (My Journey to the Stars, Snu Mikrokosmos Tegn (the ending), Beholding the Daughters of the Firmament, Key to the Gate).
when I heard the Life Eternal song for the first time, knowing yet only the lyrics and background, I had goosebumps. Instrumentally it fits extremely perfect to the text
God damn it I love both so much. I'd say for the riffs chosen in this particular battle I prefer more of Euronymous's. Life Eternal is so insanely good.

I can as well. 😂
Really?
I was never really a fan of black metal vocals and lyrics but always loved the instrumentals and guitar riffs especially.
you gotta find the good vocalist like when dead was still alive or black metal bands that were just starting the genre
You might like first wave BM. Like the other guy said, the stuff where they were first figuring out their sound has more pleasant vocals.
They bunch of white dummies thinking playing with God is a good idea.Music is good but theme,lyrics and folk are just stupid
Same, altrough the vocals started to be kinda fine. Especially Dead and the guy singing in Freezing Moon.
But other than that, i don't like the overused screams. And i dont very like Black metal in general apart from some riffs. I much prefer Death Metal, it's basically similiar to Black Metal but just better.
I recommend you Death, they're amazing. My favorite band.
You gotta try listen to Satyricon - Phoenix, it's Black Metal, but with clean voice, lol
euronymous riffs are more catchy for me to headbang, but varg's are atmospheric and more chill for body

That is actually really accurate.
Catchy?
catchy? i wouldnt say so.. those are pretty typical metal riffs
@@Thortondaniel12 Well I mean typical can = catchy. He's completely correct. The riffs are very catchy, constantly stuck in my head anyways lol.

I'm sure they helped each other with comimg out with some new riffs at one point , Varg mentioned it in one of his Vids about how he recorded his albums.
This is a great vid. I think they’re both good 🤘💀🤘
I agree 🤘🏻
This is BEAUTIFUL! Thank you SO MUCH!
Jesus Tod and Dunkelheit are two of the best black metal songs ever.
@Big Boi Bobby and His Biscuits That's why I wrote "two of the best" and not "the best". It means that there are many great black metal songs and these two are among them. And there is no "maybe", Dunkelheit and Jesus Tod are great.
@Είρων Δηκτικός Agreed. Though would add Key to the Gate to it.
Dunkelheit sounds like a track from a lo-fi mixtape.
@@Ben-xj2rf Intention still was protest against Tampa Morrissound.
I also really like my journey to the stars. That little major riff that sounds almost like pop. Simple yet effective
That moment when Dunkelheit hits... Phenomenal.
low fi beats to relax/study to before it was cool
@@lashedandscorned lofi beats to relax/commit "self defense" to
@@glenndanzigsmanycats2045 lmao
Euronymous was an even bigger nutjob than Varg imo. I think one of them would have killed the other sooner or later.
@@lashedandscorned dude even necrobutcher said he was gonna kill euronymous
Phenomental
Yet another ingenious video on this channel. Thank you.
No one wants to talk about how the life eternal riff was literally one of the best
Right? Sounds evil
Isn’t it vargs riff?
Hellyea that song is killer
@@damienslattery1718nope
Life Eternal is one of my most favourite Mayhem songs for sure
Ambos maestros del black. Siempre los recordaremos.

Varg le puso una arrastrada a Euronymous musicalmente hablando, sus riffs con esa melodía tan profunda crean la atmósfera perfecta para lo que representaba el black metal en aquel entonces.
No considero que arrastrada. En mi opinión lo que tiene varg es que se dirige muy a lo brutal o a lo atmosférico, mientras que euromymous puede combinar tanto lo agresivo como lo atmosférico en una sola pieza.
Totalmente de acuerdo, Varg lo arrastró cabronamente, el si es el creador del verdadero black metal.
Both very underrated guitarists, can you imagine of both had continued to play together and even make Music? Say what you want about Varg, he believes in what he believes, so does Dave Mustaine, etc, but he's a very gifted Musician, Euronymous left a huge mark on metal w Mayhem, two great talents of the guitar in Metal, no doubt. Everyone has tried making riffs like this today is called ''Black Metal''.
The fact that Ludwig Van Beethoven recognizes them as such good musicians is just one more reason to listen to black metal.
If you can separate the music from the art / dont give a shit about personal beliefs of musicians then why even bring it up
@@1m2a3t4t5but music is a spirit you can't listen black metal and get an up lifting spirit it's just bad energies.That's why unblack metal better
@@VonDecken97N'importe quoi 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Say whatever you want about Vargs beliefs idc, As a musician he is extremely talented
Agreed! Ever since I listened to his material when I was muuuuch younger? Before I knew his beliefs, I thought to myself, "He's a mastermind and a sorcerer of some sort". Still think that today. I don't agree with the "self defense" murder he pulled on Euronymous, nor the race extremism(I get he's "mellowed"). But as a musician? A significant standout of his era! And I'm Black!
@@Lunacyk Have you also found it hard to appreciate other bands and music after discovering burzum?
@@kristofferlien311 No. I've an open mind about ability as a musician. Same with Graveland and Satanic Warmaster, among others.
Yeah the guy is as good a musician as he is an asshole. Really admire his work
His beliefs are a big part of his sound. traditional and pagan.
Nice to hear all those riffs for real, with a descent production quality!
I love how Varg-centric this is.. given that he also played on most of the Mayhems songs and also contributed some riffs with Snorre to DMDS! Good work, man!!
Lots of people don't know Snorre ghostwrote a lot
@@tomchips8297 Didn't Necrobutcher write some of it too? And I wish Snorre would write more music,man has killer riffs.
Hell yeahhh ! Great video ! Cool playing and nice sound 🤟🤟
Buen video y excelentes riffs. Burzum mi banda favorita, saludos desde México !
Both are amazing, tough battle of the Black Metal riff. But for me It's Varg all the way. Just has that true Black Metal spirit.
It's the opposite
euronymous tends to have more contagious riffs which is something very good and Varg tends to have more atmospheric riffs, i like much Euro riffs but my vote will certainly go for Varg
yeah war is so atomospheric..
@@unspecifiied3627 The riff on War was ripped off from Bathory's Necromancy.
I love your videos, Boris. Especially this one! Keep up the good work and best wishes to you
One of your best videos!
Imma go with euronymous . His riffs are the type of black metal I like but Varga are great too they really set a atmospheric tone
Freezing Moon is the ultimate Black Metal riff in my opinion.
Dark, heavy, cold yet somehow beautiful.
Life Eternal is pretty much the same.
Chainsaw Gutsfuck is weirdly hypnotizing.
Ea is godsent.
Dunkelheit Riff is my number one Black Metal Riff ever.
@@doctordoom6511 dunkelheit is more dark ambient/dungeon synth than black metal
@@collarerre5405 I think it's still black metal enough.
@@collarerre5405i dont think varg thought...."oh you know what? im sick of black metal...i might write some dungeon synth"
Pagan fears is badass but besides that exception, I prefer Vags style.
what about life eternal.. dude the solo in the original is outta space..
Hail Vag!🤘
Agreed Pagan fears is one of the most badass riffs ever
How about sarcofago or blasphemy
@@nikothomasson They Fuckin’ Rule man! 🤘🐐🤘
Euronymous obviously had some death metal influences, whereas Varg is really going for the DnD Mordor vibe 100%
I respect Euronomous for pulling the movement together and creating enough controversy for me to have discovered black metal, and he had a few really good riffs, but ultimately he was a bridge for me to cross over and discover other artists I like better in the scene. I think Varg's music hit deeper emotionally and he's more of a true artist. That said, I will give it to both Euronomous and Varg that De Mysteris Dom Sathanas is one of my favorite black metal songs ever and the guitar, bass, and vocal harmonies together make a masterpiece in beautifully evil music composition.
I mean it still has that classic black metal treble sound but I can hear the bass when you chug too. Listening to their old records is like listening to white noise. You really have talent in mixing
Great idea! I've seen similar videos for different genres, but this is the first I've seen for black metal. It would be awesome if you approached some other bands too. Keep up the good work! 🤘
I always preferred mayhem to burzum but I also love euronymous's style more maybe coz I found mayhem first and they was the first black metal band i found but everything from their beginning to end to beginning again just made them stand out to me more
I was always drawn to Vargs riffs when I was younger but there’s something about Euronymous riffs that’s just sound so archetypal to me. He recorded two albums and with those two records cast such a huge shadow over the entire second wave. P.S. I think the intro to Chainsaw Gutsfuck was actually a Necrobutcher riff. He’s talked a lot about how they used to alternate writing riffs back in the day and how they both made sure that the bass/guitar always got a fair showing in the song.
Nothing beats the atmosphere of Burzum..and never will...it comes from the soul and you can feel the sincerity
Really cool! Keep playing! Watching you from Russia!
That was badass thanks.
The loser in this duel gets stabbed!
I see what u did there xD
How much stabs exacly?

I could never pick one over the other. They're both amazing in their own distinctive ways!
Not a Black Metal fan but these riffs...
They are nailing it!
Your hair and style are so cool 👀
amazing work you did, playing and editing the whole vid, stunning job.
Sadly, you didn't use some of Varg's best riffs. (My Journey to the Stars, Snu Mikrokosmos Tegn (the ending), Beholding the Daughters of the Firmament, Key to the Gate).
Beholding daughters of the firmament is so cold and dark it shouldn't be made
@@azamadlizullaili2618 Favorite from Filosofem
Yes, agreed.
Incredible!
Suggestion:Bathory riffs!
Varg and Euronymous aside, these riffs are cold. Some true shredding, and dark atmospheric work 🤘
when I heard the Life Eternal song for the first time, knowing yet only the lyrics and background, I had goosebumps. Instrumentally it fits extremely perfect to the text
Amazing video as always
I want to meat you boris! Biggest fan here. I live in norway and i am a metal guitarist!
omg, amazing work bro
Jon Nödtveidt vs. Infernus riff battle would be pretty epic...
Nodtveidt is tops when it comes to black metal to me.
What about Werwolf vs Shatraug
4:38 ONLY WAY TO FEEL THE NOISE IT'S WHEN IT'S GOOD AND LOUD. SO GOOD I CAN'T BELIEVE IT, SCREAMING WITH THE CROWD
God damn it I love both so much. I'd say for the riffs chosen in this particular battle I prefer more of Euronymous's. Life Eternal is so insanely good.
