oh, wow! i just discovered this awesome ambient band called 'Ulver' from a link off an awesome band called Ulver that does covers of 60's psychedelic pop songs. i also have heard of an awesome band called Ulver that plays black metal.
just because it doesn't sound like their old black metal works, doesn't mean their new work lack in brilliance and darkness. ulver will forever be great
This would be the perfect music score to a pretty interesting visually estetic and dark film. This type of "you need to picture things and consentrate"-music is not suited for people. We are all much too tuned into the obvious patterns when it comes to stimulas like music. Unfortunate that is sometimes...
Themes from William Blake's The Marriage of Heaven and Hell; Perdition City; Shadows of the Sun; Wars of the Roses; Childhood's End; Flowers of Evil - All of those were terrible and disappointing.
Does anybody else hear Fallout: New Vegas songs altered and mixed into this "Noche Oscura del Alma"? 35:59- "Maybe you're cold, but you're so warm inside" -Johnny Guitar 36:20 "Make me forget, my sorrow" -Love me as if there were no tomorrow
OldSamVimes Aghast was amazing! I remember when that first came out on Cold Meat Industry. I had never heard anything like that at the time, and was immediately hooked. Them, and bands like Lustmord, Morthound, A Challenge of Honour, Arcana, etc, really changed how I looked at experimental/ambient music...
I've been wondering my whole life if it was possible to speak about the problems of our society using the anecdotal context of a given religious narrative. Ulver just keeps exploring this concept without being completely devoted to a single narrative. Shadows of the Sun was very primal. This is more gothic.
Ritengo che gli Ulver siano davvero straordinari. Sono passati dal black metal all' art rock, percorrendo sonorità di una profondità inarrivabile. Nutrimento vitale
It's funny how in most of these videos, there seems to be three types of Ulver fans. 1) The ones who pretty much like everything they've done. At least as far as old and new stuff goes, not so much every single album. 2) The people who like Ulver in their BM days (first like 3/4 albums), and wish they would go back to that. 3) The people who like the newer stuff (as in post BM Ulver), but either just don't care for their BM days, or don't like it in general.
I bet there are more than 3 types: 4) Those who only like their newer 80s albums 5) Those who like the black metal material, but not Kveldssanger 6) Those who like the black metal songs and the ambient electronica-stuff, but not the newer 80s albums. 7) Those who like only Bergtatt, but think Nattens Madrigal is too harsh 8) Those who only like Kveldssanger 9) Those who like Perdition City, but not Blood Inside and the black metal stuff etc. etc.
I just discovered Ulver, and I really love Black Metal but the last albums (synth pop like) are just awesome. They never disapoint, doesnt matter the genre.
I like more Messe than ATGCLVLSSCAP. It is shorter, but I think the tracks are more interesting and form a global entity (like Perdition City, Blood Inside, Shadows of the Sun), contrary to ATGC where the 12 (good) tracks can be listened to without each other, in my opinion.
ATGCLVLSSCAP are re versions of previous albums songs... The song "Moody Stix" features samples from the song "Doom Sticks" from A Quick Fix of Melancholy. "Glammer Hammer" reinterprets "Glamour Box (Ostinati)" from Messe I.X-VI.X. "Nowhere (Sweet Sixteen)" is a new arrangement of "Nowhere/Catastrophe", and "Ecclesiastes (A Vernal Catnap)" reinterprets the ending of "Tomorrow Never Knows"; both original songs are from Perdition City. "England's Hidden" contains vocal samples of "England" from Wars of the Roses.
Everything in Ulver's discography is brilliant. They're one of the few bands that has such a wide variety of sound in their book. The ending of the first song is horrifying.
I for one have grown up with them. It was a pretty intense BM era with so many subtly unique stuff emerging, when it was fresh and new, it was complete experimentation after all, BM itself, yet sounded so age old with a clear point. And we were younger. Their creative genius with later albums always rang a bell so familiar. Great band. No band so naturally sincerely evolved as an avant-gard act as Ulver unlike the other ones that set out with avant-gard in mind.
Por momentos me recuerda a Tangerine Dream... Por otros momentos me da la sensación que faltó desarrollar la idea musical, ahí esperaba algo de al menos electronical drum beats... Puede ser al estilo de Perdition City (mucho mejor! ), aunque prefiero William Blakes... No obstante la crítica me gustó mucho!
Es ist so schön wie die Uneinziehbarkeit der Krallen räuberischer Vögel oder die Unsicherheit von Muskelbewegungen in Wunden der Weichteile der hinteren Halsregion
My first exposure to Garm and anything associated with him was with Arcturus, though oddly it wasn't until I rediscovered them about a year or two later that started clicking more with them. Garm and Vortex are two of my favorite vocalists, and what they've done with both Arcturus and Borknagar are some of my favorite albums. While I may not be as into Ulvers later stuff, I still admire their work. Hell, the first album I bought of theirs was Perdition City, followed by Bergtatt.
Qui, più che black metal, Mahler e Arvo Pärt convivono accanto a Tangerine Dream e Coil in un opera, comunque, poco definibile, fuori dall’ordinario , dotata di forza celeste. Affascinante †
Oh it's nothing, good sir. I do my best to inform the obvious of things to as much of the mass quantities of people whom indulge themselves upon it as possible, regardless of how much, or less, of a rhetorical statement it is. I tip my hat to you, and all the hard work you've done.
ABSOLUTELY INSANELY BRILLIANT VIBRATIONAL...................." DISCORCE" CAPTURES THOSE "EERIE" MOMENTS ...OF CONFLICT DURING LULL AND HELL OF BATTLE FIELD ...SHIVERS RAN DOWN MY SPINE...
Gli ultimi 2 o 3 minuti mi ricordano qualcosa, ma non riesco a ricordare cosa. Tutto comunque molto bello. Ho comprato oggi quello coi Sunn o))), ma lo devo ancora sentire. I Sunn o))) li conoscevo già, gli Ulver solo di nome fino a oggi.
God damn that intro registered low, the resonation through my phones made my entire skull tremble. How to fuck they could produce that sound so clean without breaking vibration of the output sources? Does someone know that is it modular or keyboard synth based noise, or was it just an effect for guitar or bass?
Yeah, two songs with vocals is all there is unfortunately. And not very much vocals during those 2 songs either! Of course, after waiting about 25 minutes or so until their's actually some singing makes the vocals seem that much better for the people listening. "Finally some action!" This is an interesting release, but for me doesn't hold up as a cd to listen to more than 3-4 times in a lifetime.
I luv ulver but kinda disapointed with this one. There are very few parts I liked. Hope they improve their usage of orchestra skill. Its 45minutes but has 20minutes of radio sounds. I think Its rushed album
Mario Lucas all bm albums from ulver was shitty! much more a pose not music! if ulver was from any othere place but norway they would be nothing special and boring! uver was made his own mark by changing own way and play what we can heard now!
Confessed Ulver is proof of God's existence and evolution. No, wait ... No God and evolution. God of Noisess Evolution.... Confessional as the subject turned into a symbol: the instrument. An instrument of the Noises occur:
xaxaxaxa that would be awesome!!! but that period is dead. Past is dead for them. Still i have to say that i really admire their latest works including this album!
Agree. With all due respect to Ulver, I'm sure they put their hearts into this cd, but not enough time and thought to make it more interesting for repeated listenings. It's very relaxing though!
Also vergleicht das mal bitte mit Nattens Madrigal oder allgemein mit "der Trilogie", da liegen echt Welten dazwischen. Wie kam es zu diesem Wechsel? Da muss sich ja auch ziemlich viel in der Meinung von Garm getan haben. Wirklich, ich mag ja auch Perdition City, weil mir auch Trip Hop gefällt, aber das? Nein, danke.

I thought they were all the same band to be honest. I enjoyed all the material.
@@darrenseder5923 it is the same band.
I've just discovered also a band called Ulver that makes 80s music.
What?! Weren't they hip hop dj's?
Lol very good.
Estar en un bosque de Noruega con esta Musica de fondo . Ostia Gran trabajo El de Ulver
just because it doesn't sound like their old black metal works, doesn't mean their new work lack in brilliance and darkness. ulver will forever be great
+er sc if anybody dont feel darkenss in this is just stupid!
+er sc if anybody dont feel darkenss in this is just stupid!

Actually.... it is brilliant and amazing exactly BECAUSE it doesn't sound like their old black metal works.
er sc Manes did the same thing, only they were more raw ambient, turn into electronic ambient. Trying to catch up on my Ulver!
This would be the perfect music score to a pretty interesting visually estetic and dark film. This type of "you need to picture things and consentrate"-music is not suited for people. We are all much too tuned into the obvious patterns when it comes to stimulas like music.
Unfortunate that is sometimes...
Been reading Lovecraft's Dunwich Horror while listening to this album. 100% recommended to anyone
Doing the exact same thing here! How hahaha
If you can read Lovecraft and enjoy him then you're as nuts as He,... Martian Freak!
They never disappoint.
Agree
Themes from William Blake's
The Marriage of Heaven and Hell; Perdition City; Shadows of the Sun; Wars of the Roses; Childhood's End; Flowers of Evil - All of those were terrible and disappointing.
I`m not a hardcore fan of all their work but this along with Shadows of the Sun and Assassination album is truly a masterpiece!!
Does anybody else hear Fallout: New Vegas songs altered and mixed into this "Noche Oscura del Alma"?
35:59- "Maybe you're cold, but you're so warm inside" -Johnny Guitar
36:20 "Make me forget, my sorrow" -Love me as if there were no tomorrow
This Album is the shit.. Creeps up on you. God Damn these guys make some unpredictable and fantastic music.
***** ya aghast is also very atmospheric
*****
Is the band called 'AGHAST'? Looking for some stuff on Amazon but not finding that as a band or group name.

As a lebanese, i fully understand the first song
Невероятный путь от прекрасного Black Metal и до сегодня!!)) Настолько разностороннее творчество ! Честь Вам и хвала!Привет из России!
Re - animator Вопрос не в тему: ты играл в Сайлент хилл?
9:45 to 10:05 is one of the darkest things I've ever heard.
Nick Huston check Henryk Gorecki “Symphony of sorrowful songs” one of Ulver’s inspirations.You will like it.
Also hear euaom ome by Julio Estrada maybe you like it to.

3) The people who like the newer stuff (as in post BM Ulver), but either just don't care for their BM days, or don't like it in general.
I think this is true for any bands that switch from one style to another. The fandom gets split to at least 3 main groups.
So 100% of the fans, then.
I bet there are more than 3 types:
4) Those who only like their newer 80s albums
5) Those who like the black metal material, but not Kveldssanger
6) Those who like the black metal songs and the ambient electronica-stuff, but not the newer 80s albums.

8) Those who only like Kveldssanger
9) Those who like Perdition City, but not Blood Inside and the black metal stuff
etc. etc.
Anybody knows why in "Mother of mercy" he sings "pure and simple, virgin and whore.." I mean, why whore? :O
Funny, how just one word can spoil the whole song - vide Laibach's "Slovenia"
Wow, + 100000 views. Thanks people...!
Nearing 200 000! :))
200.052 right now
Well deserved...
Thank Ulver
I just discovered Ulver, and I really love Black Metal but the last albums (synth pop like) are just awesome. They never disapoint, doesnt matter the genre.
Ulver is love, Ulver is life
From the simple compositions of the black metal to this.
Just AMAZING!
Este y Shadows Of The Sun son unos de los mejores. Ulver es de lo mejor que tiene Noruega junto a Mortiis, Satyricon, Gorgoroth y Burzum.
Man, this reminds me so much of the Deus Ex: Human Revolution soundtrack. So glad I found this. Masterpiece fo shoooooooo
ｂｒｕｈ I don't hear the similarity but that soundtrack is amazing, nevertheless. I get goosebumps every time I hear it.

Thank you. I didn't know for Ecclesiastes and England's Hidden. What about the other songs ?
Just live experimental/jams...improvisations.
imcomprendido album de esta gran banda
anyone felt like they were playing super metroid in song 5?
No, fuck you.
Actually, yes, and Castlevania too.
Felipi Medeiros Macedo
Simple, fuck you too.
they should stay instrumental.I hate the vocals since day one however I like their universe.
Everything in Ulver's discography is brilliant. They're one of the few bands that has such a wide variety of sound in their book. The ending of the first song is horrifying.
I breathe better
ooooh. Ulver doing the next Tron soundtrack could be a sweet sounding album.
I for one have grown up with them. It was a pretty intense BM era with so many subtly unique stuff emerging, when it was fresh and new, it was complete experimentation after all, BM itself, yet sounded so age old with a clear point. And we were younger. Their creative genius with later albums always rang a bell so familiar. Great band. No band so naturally sincerely evolved as an avant-gard act as Ulver unlike the other ones that set out with avant-gard in mind.
This is good. The strings sound authentic. A Quick Fix of Melancholy sounded like it was done on a $25 keyboard.
Bot statements are true
@@FranciscoBurrola Fake strings are always easy to tell, they sound soulless. Thankfully an orchestra was employed so we get real strings, rejoice!
Amazing, also im glad its on bandcamp
Great .. Deep..
Great excluding the vocal moments. They surprised/irriated me.
truly amazing. their material is not so easy to find in shops or music stores. indipendent better. beside internet for sure...................pity.
Por momentos me recuerda a Tangerine Dream... Por otros momentos me da la sensación que faltó desarrollar la idea musical, ahí esperaba algo de al menos electronical drum beats... Puede ser al estilo de Perdition City (mucho mejor! ), aunque prefiero William Blakes... No obstante la crítica me gustó mucho!
Martin Carlos Payeras Yo creo que si hubieras llegado al álbum sin prejuicios serías mucho más capaz de disfrutarlo y entenderlo.
Strange thing about your comment that the only time Ulver did progresive music was metal. So...
Love the album wanna like but its on 666 quite fitting
Love the album wanna like but its on 666 quite fitting
I skip the vocal tracks, if it was in Norwegian it would be better, but English feels so out of place here.
an emotional voyage into the soul...it touch the deepest chords of the black heart of everyone...

meraviglia
ulver just doesnt stop evolving thats what i love about them
Lindo ❤️
Great album
I adore this album. So beautiful
Quite possibly their masterpiece.
Masterpiece. Plain and simple.
How did I get myself into this Messe?
a contemporary music genius...
its dark alright but quite boring too. I like their other works a lot
They always ruin it with the singing.
The last thing anyone wants is Ulver doing a bm cover of Back in Black.
gooooooddd....
I'm speechless. I love you.
So only two songs with vocals?!?!? Wow....
Nah... this music is so unique, and I really like what they create
Awesome
Mesmerizing. I'm going to buy the CD !
Me too.
just sublime! a music lesson from top to toe

Hey Ulver....MAKE A BAD ALBUM!please don't
Excellent album.
A novembre sono a Parma
*YEEEEAH*
I do prefer their Black Metal era, but I like their Dark Ambient era too.
great work!
Amazing !

Mario Lucas Understandable, but still incredible to myself

+nortel
Wrong opinion
Avevi degli spunti buonissimo Wars Of The Roses, ma no..non è stato un ottimo lavoro, e dagli Ulver ci si aspetta il massimo.
Pure genious!
Confessed Ulver is proof of God's existence and evolution. No, wait ... No God and evolution. God of Noisess Evolution....
Confessional as the subject turned into a symbol: the instrument. An instrument of the Noises occur:
xaxaxaxa that would be awesome!!! but that period is dead. Past is dead for them. Still i have to say that i really admire their latest works including this album!
Masterpiece!
A creepy masterpiece more ambient wonders. Keep it coming Always room for Ulver yeeeeeea
Glamour Box is fantastic
Then listen to glammer hammer from atgclvlsscap
and i thought i was the only one who thought glammer hammer and glamour box sounded the same...
Agree. With all due respect to Ulver, I'm sure they put their hearts into this cd, but not enough time and thought to make it more interesting for repeated listenings. It's very relaxing though!
god this album is sick man absolutely fucking sick.

I'm so in love with the nice deep bass at the beginning.But my neighbors didnt. ;)
3/10
THANKS for share! Thank you very much.
A sublime masterpiece album!!! EnzoItaly
I just like to think that i listened this album
dopo la delusione dell'ultimo mi sa che siamo ritornati a alti livelli!
long live ulver!!!
thank you for all the precisions captain obvious.
