Hliðskjálf (named after the throne of the Norse god Odin) is the sixth studio album by Norwegian solo artist Burzum. This album was the second to be recorded by Varg Vikernes while he was imprisoned for murder and arson and also Burzum's second ambient album. Dauði Baldrs and Hliðskjálf were created with synthesized instruments as he was not allowed any other instruments while being imprisoned. For this album, Vikernes was allowed to have the keyboard and recording device for only one week.[3] The first pressing of its vinyl format release was pressed on a shiny burnished color reminiscent of gold.
