So what exactly is all that rustling / twig breaking stuff going on in the middle of that song? It even sounds like they could be squishing grapes or something.

If you're talking about that one Ulver song on Bergtatt, I always thought it was somebody running. "And I raaaaan, I ran so far awaaaaaay" etc.

Hello
It's the protagonist (a girl) walking/running through the woods in the middle of the night, as she thinks she's being watched by forces from the underworld. Those lyrics are very beautiful, by the way.

What A Horrible Night To Have A Curse
Translated lyrics:
From afar She is watch'd
By eyne that play in grey
While above the Moone, silent, Glides
The Maiden:
"Cold eyne I sense
What Creatures are near?
Fast, far away from here I must flee
Or by force their Magick will steal me away"
Eyne hold her still
Caress Her from afar
Norwegian Nighte turns colde
When howling Wolves do sing
Thunder rolling (Fear rides in the air)
A snowcladde Worlde
-In silence
Alone She is, and astray
Throbbing fast, her Hearte
Her Bloode turning to Ice
The Netherworlde:
Here lieth Sorrow's Source
Between the thornecladde Trees
So faire a virtuous Maide
Her dreams invite the Dawn
On these Damask'd cheeks
On her Mouth bereft of Smile
A torrent of Tears runs free
While the Worlde sleeps
Iunno. EDIT: Oh, flee. I get it.

Good album - shame we don't have a review for it.
Nobody ever talks about the drummer on the Ulver trilogy - it's really pretty remarkable drumming, at least on Bergtatt.

cheating the polygraph
I think Ulver should revisit that interlude and incorporate that into a soundscape, I know Neurosis did something similar with one of their side projects but we've come to demand the abnormal for them...anyone else hoping for EPs of them fucking around in the studio from the Blood Inside sessions?

They did that re-working of Nattleite for the Quick Fix EP, so you never know. And yes, I'd love for more Silence-type EPs, both were extraordinary brilliant. But then again, so is everything that band has done so far.
When my least favorite album contains my most favorite song (Of Wolves and Withdrawal), you know it's a damn fine band.

fuck melodic black metal
PLEASE Ulver don't fucking mess with the old stuff, if you can't do it properly anymore just leave it alone.
You know, I don't think I realized until tonight how Maiden'ish the last two minutes of this song are.
