A differenza di altri misteriosi figuri che oggi popolano le tenebre dell’underground black/death, Lalartu continua a conciliare la suddetta immagine incappucciata con un suono che, per quanto complesso, stratificato e ultraterreno, si guarda bene dallo scadere in forme onanistiche di eccentricità e sperimentazione (basti pensare alla recente prova degli Ævangelist). Musica che si è nutrita abbondantemente delle peggiori nefandezze del catalogo Iron Bonehead e Norma Evangelium Diaboli da un lato e di certi titani degli anni Novanta dall’altro, per un risultato complessivo che, sul filo di una gestualità rituale e contraddittoria, sembra volerci traghettare oltre il nostro spazio-tempo.
Così com’era stato per l’esordio “Kadingir”, anche “ITIMA” si configura quindi come un viaggio, un’opera da assimilare nelle giuste condizioni per riuscire a carpirne il linguaggio espressivo e non smarrirsi nel suo reticolo di pieni/vuoti sensoriali, con i primi dati da esplosioni di blasfemia non troppo distanti da quelle di Wrathprayer, Teitanblood o Beyond e i secondi a manifestarsi grazie a parentesi ambient dal sapore etnico e siderale. Un flusso di coscienza (trattasi di un’unica suite della durata di poco superiore ai quarantacinque minuti) che ci mostra il Nostro camminare sull’orlo dell’Abisso per poi descriverne con dovizia di particolari il tuffo in quel maelstrom ribollente e terrificante, con i riff, le ritmiche e le voci a farsi via via sempre più deformi e votati al culto di antiche divinità che creano e distruggono la vita.

"Thulêan Mysteries was made passively, in the sense that I never intended to make a new album; I just made music every now and then and at one point realized that I actually had enough to release it all on an album. When asked to do so I figured: why not? It was a good idea. The music is a little bit of this and a little bit of that, transcending any genre, and perhaps belonging to many different genres. The intention with it was always to create a certain atmosphere, often related to an idea or a situation. Since my true passion has never been music, but actually tabletop role-playing games, I figured I should make this an album intended for that use; as background music for my own MYFAROG (Mythic Fantasy Role-playing Game). Hopefully you will get a sense of Thulê when you listen to this, like always with Burzum, ideally when on your own. I hope you will enjoy this soundtrack to Thulê, to Mother Nature and life itself" – Varg Vikernes
