Ulver - Perdition City

[HandsOfDespair]

JESUS CHRIST, that album is so fucking good, I've been listening to it a couple of times each day for the last few days.

Any recommandations of bands/albums in the same genre as that?

Here's a video for people not knowing this AWESOME band:

I'm going to see them on 26 February in Helsinki Can't wait! One of my all-time favourite bands.

If you want something a little bit similar to Perdition City, it's quite difficult as it's so unique. But there are some albums that are a bit in the same vein. Here's my album recommendations, with one track from each:

Noise Unit - Voyeur (2005)


Black Sun Empire - Driving Insane (2004)


Ice Ages - Strike the Ground (1997)


Nebelhexë - Laguz: Within the Lake (2004)


Sephiroth - Draconian Poetry (no stuff on youtube)
The Protagonist - Songs of Experience (no stuff on youtube)

Same, except I'm seeing them on 27th as I'm going to see Cult of Luna on the 26th.

You could try trip hop such as Massive Attack, Portishead etc.

Same, except I'm seeing them on 27th as I'm going to see Cult of Luna on the 26th.

They actually adjusted the playing times so that people could see both bands Ulver starts at 23:30 on friday.

It's more than just a great album. It's a journey. I've never witnessed images, or rather a complete sensory experience, being translated so well through mere sounds. The atmosphere on this album is so unique, the album's subtitle fits rather well. The only project that gives me a comparable sensation is Kevin Moore's Chroma Key. Highly, highly suggested.

Btw. do you guys ever follow the instructions on the booklet?

Love the album although I most frequently listen to Shadows Of The Sun. Both are dark and beautiful recordings, but "Shadows" just takes me to another place....

I'm seeing them this friday in Copenhagen. Can't wait!

 

[Torniojaws]

For the Finns out there, they have a third gig confirmed! They're playing at the Flow Festival in Helsinki on 15 August.

Shadows Of The Sun it´s one of the best ambiental/atmospheric albuns I have heard in my life. Fucking brilliant. But it´s the only album I know of them.

 

[Trevor Marks]

Garm mentioned he was listening to alot of Amon Tobin when they made this. Check out Permutation and Out from Out Where for something similar

 

[BrettT]

I love everything this band does. Perdition City is the perfect cd to listen to while driving at night.

 

[Harry Hughes]

Ulver have yet to put out an album that wasn't at the bare minimum great

 

[HandsOfDespair]

Thanks guys! I'll listen to your suggestions tomorrow.
