Background
The cover is a photograph of the Fantoft Stave Church after its arson on 6 June 1992. Varg Vikernes was strongly suspected of burning the church, and the photograph is widely believed to have been taken by Vikernes himself. According to the official Burzum website, the cover photograph was taken by Are Mundal. Bass guitar on two of the tracks is performed by Samoth of the band Emperor. ==Release==
Release
The first 1000 copies of Aske were packaged with a lighter bearing the album cover's image of Fantoft Stave Church's remains. Aske was later re-released as Burzum / Aske alongside the songs from Burzum's debut album. ==Track listing==
