i've heard the other albums and i like them too but they're different so i can't say that one is better than another. i don't know what would i do without 666 international. i'm still looking for the right xmas gift for him. i had never heard of them before.Ī finnish friend of mine told me to listen to DHG and i can't thank him enough. I heard Fleurety 'cause you mentioned somewhere and i loved it. Have you heard When? (i'm lacking a drooling smilie) they have the greatest bands, even if they're not metal. Hmm this what comes to my mind now.I won't ramble on,because i feel you've heard them all.but still if you haven't just ask and i'll start 'my propaganda'Ĭlick to expand.i've been humiliated so many times for loving Ulver, people around here are really close-minded (that's why i'm moving to the north! ) we don't even get the CDs here, so i became Jester Records' pet. SOLEFALD-my great discovery for 2001 (actually my boyfriend discovered them first ) Still I haven't heard their first album (but i will soon )ĭODHEIMSGARD- you know experimental electronical(?) BM everything about it (from the cover,layout,booklet (well,i wouldn'tc all it booklet ,songs etc) is uniqueĪRCTURUS-oh,well you know what i'm going to say :hotjump: Their last album 'Deparment of Apocalyptic affairs' is the most weird of all. ' Min tid skal komme' (their first) is less complicated than the rest,it's just BM with many raw an dmany atmospheric parts,but still unique. ) it showed this band has the guts and talent to create sth awesome. even from their first album (last week i bought the promo of it -I nearly pissed my pants when i saw it. Once i wrote that the essence of Ulver is the constant changing and i still believe thatįLEURETY-the guys are awesome. Yes,I agree.you can never know what to expect from Ulver and this what makes me feel so excited about them. It's so coooool that you are an Ulver fan! I LOVE ULVER.they are such an amzing band. Should Garm ever record any music in the vein of 'Nattens.'? That is a question. Yes, the music is dark and misanthropic but if I had to choose I would say Garm should have gone in the direction Plasma Pool has. I find 'Metamorphosis' and 'Perdition city' absolutely great but I miss Garm's vocals - both his animal scream and the charismatic clean vox lines. The metamorphosis started.Īmazing how Ulver's music has changed over the years. Aiwarikia, who together with Garm did most of the music left the band. At the time 'Nattens Madrigal' was released I though it's the way they should go. That trollish, folk-inspired sound, arghhh. When I listened to 'Bergtatt.' for the first time I felt like crying - the music really moved me. By the early 2000s, Elde had announced the formation of a new band, Virus, which he said would mark a continuation of his work with Ved Buens Ende.Well, each of Ulver's albums is different. However, despite rumors circulating in the late '90s that the group would get back together to record another album, nothing ever materialized (perhaps because the musicians were so busy with their other projects). Those Who Caress the Pale was later released in 1997 with a couple of bonus tracks added on. Following a demo, entitled Those Who Caress the Pale, Ved Buens Ende signed to the British Misanthropy label, on which they released their first (and only) full-length album, Written in Waters, in 1995. Fixit and, at one time or another, also a member of Dodheimsgard and Aura Noir) as well as bassist Skoll (aka Hugh Stephen James Mingay, also of Ulver and Arcturus). Along with drummer/lead vocalist Elde - who has also gone by the name Czral and played in the groups Dodheimsgard, Aura Noir, Cadaver Inc., and Virus, among others - the group's lineup included guitarist Vicotnik (aka Aggressor and Mr. Their style blended aspects of so-called post-rock (especially in terms of the guitar playing) together with eerie crooning vocals and jazz-influenced drumming and bass playing, resulting in a sound that was as much subdued and mysterious as it was aggressive or forceful. One of the many bands involving multi-instrumentalist Carl-Michael Elde, Norway's Ved Buens Ende (whose name roughly translates to 'beyond the bow' or 'beyond the rainbow') were an experimental black metal band whose sound remains heavily distinct and unusual years after their last recording.
