Draugen (album)

Draugen: Rarities is a 2005 re-release of a bootleg of rarities by the Norwegian black metal act Burzum. It was released without the band's permission. It also includes remastered versions of the officially released tracks "Lost Wisdom" and "My Journey to the Stars".

This album is a digitally remastered edition of the set that was originally released as a bootleg. This edition includes new artwork which the label falsely claimed was approved by Varg Vikernes.

It is worth noting that all tracks on this compilation can be found on the official Burzum demos and releases, except for the remastered versions of "Lost Wisdom" and "My Journey to the Stars"

The track "Seven Harmonies Of The Unknown Truth" is actually NOT a Burzum track. It is actually by Norwegian band Ildjarn, and its inclusion on this compilation is a mistake. The "Outro" is also a fake track, it is a studiotrack a bootlegger made by playing an album song out in a room and then recording it.

This release was heavily criticized by Burzum fans as it is a bootleg, includes fake songs that aren't even Burzum, and has so-called remastered sound which is actually taken from poor mp3-files.
