The Ways of Yore is the eleventh studio album by Norwegian musical project Burzum, released on 2 June 2014 by sole member Varg Vikernes' label Byelobog Productions. The album retains the ambient and medieval music sound Vikernes started with Burzum's previous album, Sôl austan, Mâni vestan, albeit introducing vocals.
The album cover features a detail of "Merlin and Vivien", an engraving by famous French artist Gustave Doré for Alfred, Lord Tennyson's poem Idylls of the King, framed by a bordure of swastikas.
