With the advent of the unique style of blackened electronic music that grew out of what was once know as a metal band, I began thinking about something. If Ulver had never been a metal band, do you think you (and the rest of Ulvers still loyal metalheads) would still enjoy their new stuff? Of course this does not apply to those that dont like the newer style.
Also, if a non metal fan became a fan of Ulver, do you think that they would enjoy Ulvers older stuff? Do you think they then would give metal a chance perhaps?
For myself, I think I would have had a harder time giving Ulvers newer material a chance because I was pretty nescient and pig-headed when it came to anything that had anything to do with electronic music. I now really enjoy some electronic music and I dont think I would have been able to like without Ulver.
