''Belus'' is the seventh full-length album by the Norwegian one-man band Burzum. The first studio album to be recorded after a near 11-year hiatus, it was released on 8 March 2010 through Byelobog Productions.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 publisher = Discogs )〕 == Background == ''Belus'' was the first album to be recorded and released after Varg Vikernes' May 2009 parole from prison. He had served almost 16 years of a 21-year murder sentence. The album was originally called "The Return of Baldur", but Vikernes announced the album in November 2009 as ''Den Hvite Guden'' ("The White God" in Norwegian). In December 2009, he announced that the name was being changed to ''Belus'' because some in the media speculated that the album might have racist undertones. He stated that the former name had nothing to do with skin colour or racism, but that it was merely a common name for the Norse god Baldr. Vikernes suggests that ''Belus'' is the oldest known (Proto-Indo-European) name of the life-death-rebirth deity that is reflected in the Norse Baldr, the Greek Apollo, the Gaulish Belenus and the Slavic Belobog, among others. The other Proto-Indo-European theonyms used in the lyrics are "Lukan" (equivalent to the god Loki), "Kaimadalthas" (equivalent to the gods Heimdallr and Hermóðr, which Vikernes believes were initially the same god, ''Haimaþellar'') and "Kelio" (equivalent to the god Hel).〔(Interview with Varg Vikernes (10.03.2010), by Brandon Stosuy )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Belus (album)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
