Of Wolves and Withdrawal

[NAD]

I just received the Metamorphosis EP yesterday, and I must say that this is easily one of the greatest "songs" I have ever heard. Completely blew me away unlike anything else has for quite some time. Absolutely amazing.

I think the best song in that EP (and one of the best they've ever written) is Gnosis...

Agreed. I'm also a fan of Rimbaud's work, so it's even better, even though I've never seen the translation that they used before. Perhaps they took some liberties?

Not exactly liberties but there are some subtle changes in the text they used from most of the english translations of "Bad Blood" I've read. The meaning is the same but they changed some words, I suppose in order to make it fit better to the vocal melodies.

 

[Ol' Dirty Bastard]

Well that's what I meant. The meaning is the same but the words are differant. Yadda yadda.

'artistic license'

Hey, BACK ON TOPIC PLEASE!!!

Hahaha, just kidding. Gnosis is awesome as well, I'm not familiar with Rimbaud's work, but that quote made me want to be. Any suggestions for an introduction?

"Une Saison En Enfers" or "A Season In Hell"... Great work

 

[MacMoney]

Metamorphosis has three of the best Ulver songs ever and the worst Ulver song ever. That would be Of Wolves and Withdrawal. Give me some proper ambient over this thing anyday.

 

[LuminousAether]

I think Limbo Central is the best song off that ep.

I love the first 3 songs on Metamorphosis but "Of Wolves and Withdrawl" is way too ambient.. I usually don't even notice the CD is playing at that point. And I LOVE all 3 songs on Silencing the Singing. Theyre just much more well done.
