"I no longer play metal music, so naturally I don’t say this for commercial reasons. I just think that we get enough shit from the world we live in as it is. There is no reason to ADD to that load."

So?
 
Varg's been saying that for over a decade. It didn't stop him from recording Belus or Fallen.
 
He also said he wasn't going to make any more recordings under 'Burzum' in 1999.

Well, if it's true it is an End of an era, if not, then it's not.

Some samples from the new album.

Varg's era ended when he got incarcerated. He hasn't recorded anything as masterful as Hvis Lyset TAR Oss or Filosofem since. But that doesn't mean he can't still make good music!

Judging from Scared's link, it sounds like Varg is going for a more dark ambient approach to his music this time. I'll be very surprised if there are people still running around calling him 'black metal' after this album has been released (assuming the rest of the album is just like this)

I never liked those album Teaser things that show you thirty seconds from each song. They always leave the wrong impression. I'm waiting for a full track to come out before I listen to anything
