"Umskiptar," the tenth studio album by BURZUM, the solo project of Varg Vikernes, represents a remarkable achievement in atmospheric music. Vikernes adapts the sixty-six stanzas of Voluspa, the introductory poem of the Norse Poetic Edda, into the distinctive soundscapes characteristic of BURZUM. The album features the signature elements of BURZUM, including powerful guitars, recurring motifs throughout the tracks, and a grand, sweeping sound.
