Vargnatt, i think that what its called.

Sadly, I have yet to check out this band.

Which of the trilogy you all speak of do you reccomend me obtaining first?

It is indeed, and it's bloody hard to get your hands on if you want an original.. If you don't there's a link in the Ulver forum somewhere to MP3's

The trilogy starts with 'Bergtatt'. That's where you should start.

Mind-blowing!

Then get the next two:

'Kveldssanger'
and
'Nattens Madrigal'

 

[NAD]

Definitely start with Bergtatt for the trilogie, the other two carry forth in completely different directions. Kveldssanger is all acoustic, Nattens Madrigal is both grim and tr00.

Josh you're missing Vargnatt (their long oop demo), Teachings in Silence (which is the two Silence EPs on one disc), and the Quick Fix EP is the forthcoming release, sometime soon I think...?

...it's fucking grim and screechy...it's doing my head in right now...switched over to Panzerfaust for the time being....happy again...

 

[Nate The Great]

Suck it up . . . GIRL!

 

[NAD]

Nattens owns, keep listening.

 

[Russell]

True

 

[JayKeeley]

You have to admit though, the sound is torturous... come on, lets forget being 'tr00' just for a second and be 'real' instead.

I won't give up though.

 

[NAD]

You sound like me when I first got the album. After quite a few listens I really liked it but still bitched about the production, but after awhile I realized that a clear production would kill its mystique. Read the lyrics and liner notes, toward the end they mention how in order to truly capture the beast in man, a most violent musical expression must be used.

I sound like an Ulver whore, I know, but I guess I am.

 

[JayKeeley]

Yeah I'm just messin'. I need to give it a chance - right conditions and all that. Don't worry I have not written it off by any means - its reputation precedes it.

When I heard it, it was a hot summer day and I was driving down the highway. It just wasn't 'Madrigal conditions.

You know, the best music to play in the car is brain dead music. You know, the shit that you don't have to concentrate on, like power metal or whatever.

The End Records is re-releasing Vargnatt i think.

 

[NAD]

On vinyl only, it's supposed to come out on June 24th. I haven't seen it listed on their site though.

First time I listened to Nattens was driving up the coast on a hot summer day, I almost threw it out the window.

Same thing happened with me & Bathory's Twillight of the Gods! Except I did throw it out the window.

TTMF'NT

A Quick Fix of Melancholy is awesome, I am very much looking foward to a proper release featuring this particular incarnation of the group. Apparently the Svidd Negr soundtrack comes out 9/15...?

 

[Demonspell]

Not sure, but you can hear excerpts from it at www.sviddneger.no Quick Fix is excellent, hopefully this will be as much a precusor to the new one as the Silence eps were permutations of Perdition City...

 

[JayKeeley]

I got my 10" vinyl delivered by The End the other day. It's white.

#104/1000

 

[NAD]

http://www.displeasedrecords.com is allegedly selling the Svidd Neger soundtrack already, who knows if it's the official release though.


My Vargnatt is #29/1000, but The End promised if you forked out the cash for the EP and the tshirt they'd give you a low numbered one.

Did you ever get into Nattens by the way?

 

[En Vind Av Sorg]

Yea i got #15 NAD. I bought the package with the Quick Fix t-shirt and EP and the Vargnatt 10".
