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!
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
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.
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.
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
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
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
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.
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
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 !!!
@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.
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
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
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.
Love him or hate him, Varg is the founder of one man black metal bands. Edit: I can see most of the comments saying it was Quorthon of Bathory that did it first since Bathory was one of the pioneers of black metal. Yet, _Bathory didn't become a one man band_ until in the early 2000s. Bathory also abandoned the black metal genre later on leaning towards viking metal.

@@nicolasberhomontalvo1955 You taking this to serious dude. I don´t like, or dislike the guy. From all I know he was lazy weirdo, and you sure sound like one too.
@@Lilbroda I know that offending all of sudden is cool and all but even I am being more fan of Varg it is clear that Euronymous was a killer guitarist
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 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.
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
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
Excelente, compañero. Enhorabuena por la seriedad con la que haces tus vídeos. Saludos del Conde Vasili y los miembros de la redacción de BM plus legions desde Madrid, España. Nos hemos suscrito
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.
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!
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''.
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
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.
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.
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).
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!!
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! 🤘
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 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.
They were going for two completely different moods. Euro wanted to sound ugly and brutal and aggressive and varg wanted to sound melancholic and melodic. I honestly like them both the same,

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

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 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.
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
Vargs riffs are more dark and cold imho. I like both and i wish i could see them playing together today.
Actually Euronymous is the one that is dark and cold now 😜😜😜
Euronymous and Varg both were excellent. Varg's riffs, of course, are more complicated, but that just shows the beauty of black metal revolution.
When De Mysteriis Dom Sathanas played, the cat sitting on my lap started purring. No joke! 😄
Cats are good like that. :)
When De Mysteriis Dom Sathanas started playing my cat ran off to burn some churches. 🤘🤘
Pelle actually hated cats xd
Pelle would have liked that 😬
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! 🤘🐐🤘
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
Euronymous obviously had some death metal influences, whereas Varg is really going for the DnD Mordor vibe 100%
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

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
It is insane if you are subtracting the fast pace drum, how relaxing those musics can be
What's wrong with drums?
@@sukhmandersingh4306 Nothing. He's more making a point that black metal without heavy drumming and distortion is literally just surf rock.
@@manofthewest5395 well I think he’s saying keep the distortion
He never said take away distortion
u r just killing it man....................superb
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.
Almost 12 minutes of out-of-this-world freaking absolute masterpieces with awesome sound! Thank you!
Varg and Euronymous aside, these riffs are cold. Some true shredding, and dark atmospheric work 🤘
Fantastic! Excellent playing as always. I liked the fact that you captured them both looking unhappy to be on the same screen too!
😂
@@borist. 😂😂
This is a great vid. I think they’re both good 🤘💀🤘
I agree 🤘🏻
Превосходно исполнено!
Ruski, govnom voniayesh
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!
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 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Euronymous riffs are more aggressive evil and dark, varg riffs were more hypnotic and atmospheric,anyway both are amazing 🤘🖤🎶
The loser in this duel gets stabbed!
I see what u did there xD
How much stabs exacly?
The winner gets to burn down a church

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.
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.
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.
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
This is BEAUTIFUL! Thank you SO MUCH!
Hell yeahhh ! Great video ! Cool playing and nice sound 🤟🤟
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
Buen video y excelentes riffs. Burzum mi banda favorita, saludos desde México !
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!
I could never pick one over the other. They're both amazing in their own distinctive ways!
Nothing beats the atmosphere of Burzum..and never will...it comes from the soul and you can feel the sincerity
Ambos maestros del black. Siempre los recordaremos.

Los putos amos
Así es

Yet another ingenious video on this channel. Thank you.
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.
I prefer V man riffs more because of the atmosphere they deliver
Euronymous was such an inovator, a legend. He basically created Modern Black Metal
yes but with a lot of help from varg
He copied most of the riffs from old-school Death Metal demos like Necrodeath's 86 one , and other riffs he simply got from Snørre
Varg's riffs are more technical and kinda sad too, while Euronymous's are pure evil
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 video. I forgot how good some of those Mayhem and Burzum riffs were.
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
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 can't pick one. They both have some sick riffs. That lost wisdom riff is fuckin perfect.
Not a Black Metal fan but these riffs...
They are nailing it!
Your hair and style are so cool 👀
I love your videos, Boris. Especially this one! Keep up the good work and best wishes to you
One of your best videos!
Lotta Varg fanboys, ive always preferred Burzum more but both are great guitar players.
Yes agreed, but Euronymous was an asshole
@@anotherbigfootwithinternet2147 well ofc, so was varg, but he's atleast a little goofy and wholesome nowadays.
@@mrclover-ev7vg not as big of an asshole as Euronymous, I mean he drove dead to kill himself
Vikernes Poser
@@anotherbigfootwithinternet2147 But he is a raging racist and a murderer, so it kind of balances out if you ask me.
Varg have some killer riffs, quite literally
killer riffs never killed anyone
@@1m2a3t4t5 yes absolutely
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 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.
They were going for two completely different moods. Euro wanted to sound ugly and brutal and aggressive and varg wanted to sound melancholic and melodic. I honestly like them both the same,
Euronymous - catchy Varg Vikernes - Deep
The comment I was searching for! +1
Vargs riffs are sadder and depressive. I would go with Euronymous on that one.
