Ulver's Nattens Madrigal

[discouraged1]

Hey ppl,

I've heard the rumour that Ulver made The Madrigal of Night in the woods!!!
You know, just brought the equipment into the forest, turned it on and played it loud while recording it.

Is that true?
It is indeed the only Ulver masterpiece that doesn't list the name of the studio they've recorded it in, and the idea of the Garm and co. in the woods in the middle of the frosty night howling at moon & playing Darkthrone-like Black metal is quite amusing to me

Please investigate this.
If it is true, I'll love Ulver even more (even I love them so much already enough that's not quite possible)

cheerz

it's a complete lie.

Century Media gave Garm tons of money to finance the production, but instead of that the motherfucker buyed a car and recorded the album in a friend's garage-studio.

that's why the album almost didn't have any promotion.

Is that the same car that will appear in the Marriage of Heaven & Hell's innersleeve photo?

 

[Melancholia]

Well,I've any of the other guys....

who knows anyway.....

 

[Melancholia]

grrrrrrrr.......for some strange reason,half of the stuff i wrote in my previous post disappeared.....


well,I have read in an interview that this car doesn\t belong to Garm,neither to any of the other guys......

 

[discouraged1]

If that car doesn't belong to Ulver guys, whose car is it?
(maybe the chick who sings on Marriage, Styne someth. drives it )

Do you consider "Mardrical" masterpiece?
I think it's too primitive. "The Marriage.." is the best!

 

[Anthony]

Btw, fanz of Ulver, I found one tape with name like "Eeventeer 15 capiteer"(can't remember correct name), but it sounds like Katatonia wanted to experiment in black. Do ya know anything about it?

It's Ulver's debut recorded in 1994 entitled 'Bergtatt - et eeventer 5 capitler' or something.
It's great album, one of the best black metal albums ever.

Nattens Madrigal NEEDS to be primitive, showing the true quintessence of black metal in its beginnings(1991 and so).

Every Ulver album has its point and thus all are masterpieces.

 

[Anthony]

'Bergtatt - et eeventer 5 capitler'? Thanx! Now, I'm about to argue "'Bergtatt - et eeventer 5 capitler' is the best!". It is so melancholic and soulful ! Very good for debute! Do you have lyrics to it or names of songs? The second song from this album just tears my heart.

 

[discouraged1]

Yeah, it has those quiet intro, with acoustic guitar and flute, and then, in the next second - RRRROOOOOOOAAARRRRRR.
THAT'S real melancholic black metal.
I like the third track best, with the mid piano part following some scared-the-hell-out fella walking through the woods in the night. Awesome! (btw, Sverd from Arcturus played that piano)

Yes, I do have the lyrics and they are all in Norwegian, so it will take lots of time for me to type them all (plus they are typed in gothic letter, and I have to study what does it say).
But if you want them so much...

Yep, it's a lie. A rumor, possibly started by Garm himself

But anyway, Garm said in interview that he had to remix to album a number of times to get the proper "shitty/tr00" sound.
