Once amongst the pioneers of Norwegian black metal, now living legends of dark experimental music, ULVER are today one of Norway's most acclaimed international artists. While remaining something of a secret treasure back home, a long series of strong releases, most recently the album Shadows of the Sun (2007), has earned them a unique status worldwide.

ULVER have since their first album been exclusively a studio band. This being their first live tour in 15 years, this series of shows will be a swansong to this band's groundbreaking legacy.

A statement from the band: Last year Mr. Stig Sæterbakken approached us with an offer to play a limited U.S tour, and after long consideration we have decided to accept the invitation. We go to the job with great humility and horror. Ulver, Oslo, March 29th 2009.

Looks like a trip to NY is in order, or maybe even LA.. the timing might be right for that.

LOL ... does Ulver know that Albany is like in the sticks?

Philly sounds like a better place to see them now.

Well done. I actually believed it until I read the quote from the band...which was the same statement used for their festival appearance.
