Ulver News

[NAD]

If I were to check out some of the non-metal Ulver stuff, which one should it be?

Perdition City

this had better be a better album than that wet-fart, blood inside.

I will punch if not.

Uh, Blood Inside ruled from the 2 songs I heard. Check your sources.

He is right.

it sucked from the whole album I heard. Check YOUR sources, biatch.

You are right.

SERIOUSLY.

THAT IS CORRECT, SIR.

FUCK YES

Indeed.

I think you guys are forgetting the cardinal rule of having low expectations so that nothing can ever disappoint you.

Selective nihilism makes for a happy life.

Ulver sure are pumping out the pretentious shit-a-thons.

It feels like only yesterday that I laughed at how bad Blood Inside was.

No. / Yes.

I think Perdition city is about the most enjoyment I'll get out of the "non metal" ulver.

I interviewed the band a month or so back if anyone is interested in reading about the new album. ZT is available throughout the US now too, so no excuses

Have had six of the songs off the new album since May, they have aged well, I must say I really like them. They are a lot more melancholic and stripped down than Blood Inside. I find them like a less theatrical and bombastic version of A Quick Fix...

 

[NAD]

Holy shit, do I see a picture of Trickster G smiling?!

I really need to subscribe to that magazine. So I shall!

Nah, no smiles here I'm afraid

I really need to subscribe to that magazine. So I shall!

Hope you like it! If you just want to buy copy instead of subscribing, it should be available in any Barnes & Noble store

OMFG LOLZ, can I also point out there's a Black Sabbath cover on the CD (Solitude). Very nicely done IMO. I just thought I'd mention it as it may make NAD poop his pants. I don't quite know. Though he does seem to poop a lot.

notworthy

 

[NAD]

I can't fucking wait for this album.

Blood Inside should have been good, it really should have been. But it was just too much. Too many layers, too many... things. I guess some thought William Blake was overblown and bombastic, but I didn't. Blood Inside was, even if the ending few minutes of Christmas is some of the best shit I've ever heard, Ulver or otherwise.

 

[Russell]

The cover of the album matches the music pretty well, I got the full thing the other day and the rough mixes I had seem pretty representative of the entire thing. It's mostly very relaxed, downcast, and quite minimalistic in comparison to Blood Inside

 

[Guthrum]

That's a sweet cover, if I do say so myself.

 

[NAD]

I'm listening to Blood Inside, and man, it starts off so well with the first 3 songs, and then just... ugh.

Why does the badness of this particular album perplex me? Perhaps I am used to such amazing quality from this group, and they just haven't redeemed themselves with the next album yet, and I still hold hope for something that isn't there within the ol' red and white.

Either way, Ulver weather is nearly upon us.

 

[Krilons Resa]

That cover rules!

Here is a song from the new cd on their myspace they just posted a lil while ago:

If this track Vigil is any indication, this may be a winner we have on our hands

 

[spikes77]

Agreed, i'm liking this track :Shedevil:

 

[Demonspell]

This track is haunting, lives up to Russell's promise of being more subtle in its atmospherics than Blood Inside, can't wait for the whole fix of melancholy. Like the cover if only because it screams out to have Agalloch stamped on it. Also heard something from the upcoming Blut Aus Nord on their gayspace an hour ago...

 

[Guthrum]

Definitely loving the new track.

 

[unknown]

digging the new track as well

I finally got the whole album about three weeks ago, and this song is pretty representitive of all of them in terms of mood There's a fair bit of variation, which has kept it interesting, and I've been listening to it daily and still feel the need to listen more. Always a good sign. Can't wait for this one to come out!

pretty excited
