If people knew that Burzum was just the band of some teenager, that would sort of ruin the magic, and for that reason, I felt that I needed to be anonymous. So I used a pseudonym, Count Grishnackh, and on the debut album, I used a photo of me that didn't look like me at all to make Burzum itself seem more out-of-this world and to confuse people.

If I can, I will make an album each year, but time shall tell if this works out. I have other things to do in my life as well.

I just make music. If you don't like it, you don't need to buy or listen to it.
