- The lyrics are inspired from Arthur Rimbaud's "A Season in Hell", the Bad Blood chapter; the band was also inspired by another poet, William Blake, for an earlier and fantastic album, namely "Themes from William Blake's The Marriage of Heaven and Hell". The band's site is www.myspace.com/ulver1 ; Enjoy!
Lyrics:
Science - The new aristocracy
Progress - The world is on the march
Why shouldn't it turn too?
It's the vision of numbers.
We are moving towards the Spirit.
Certainly deserted: It's the voice of the oracle, what I say.
Understand, and not knowing how to express myself without using pagan words.
I prefer to remain silent.

The music fits the painting very well. Just imagine being in that bizarre world. Dead beings minding their own business, tending to their plants... they do not communicate nor do they acknowledge your presence, they just work on their gardens autonomously. Surreal. There's also a nice metaphor for the cycle of life and death in this painting. The beings of death are caring for plant life, when a living creature dies it feeds the soil with the necessities for plant life.
"I prefer to remain silent"
Perfect.
Isn't it though? Such a master class line delivered by a master class such as Garm!
Rimbaud's quote
I've never listened to Ulver before but this track is a master of all the elements of music. I love how it combines ambient, triphop, classical, drone, electronic, and rock.
Go listen to Eos by Ulver
I love this Ulver's atmosphere
good ,yow
It is up there with their absolute best.
One my favorite Ulver songs, and I love how they can do any genre so perfectly. The Garden of Death is a great picture to accompany this with too... makes you think.
Exactly! Every release may/generally is drastically different but they are all very ULVER.
been looking for some electronic abstract music. Hard to find. So far this one's winning.
I'm totally crying...
I love that mood change at 5:10 *_*
I love the way that the ominous chorus sound combines with the sampled drums and synthesizers.
The guitar oriented section is probably the most beautiful moment in the history of music.
The painting is Hugo Simberg's "The Garden of Death"
Wait... If a *garden* is a place to *cultivate life*, why *Death* would be....Oooooh, I see! :)
I know, pretty clever, yeah??? ;)
Yea, on second thought looks like there are two interpretations:
1) pure irony.
2) life is a temporary state, death is reality's default state, therefore death is greater than life, and life comes from death.
Yeah, I believe in the second option a bit more, although, the implications become undeniably ironic. Like you, I see the painting as a reminder of how one has to acknowledge death since its one of life's realities.
It seems like (based on this source) that Simberg wanted to represent the sceletons as comforting, caring figures, instead of frightful ones, in order to solace one's soul about the departure from this realm: "According to Simberg, the flowers represent people’s souls, the skeletons are aids to Death, and the Garden of Death is a purgatory of sorts for souls waiting for entrance into heaven. This artwork invites the viewer to consider the afterlife, to take comfort in his or her own passing, and to not fear what happens after the body fails to function."
this is so sick! cant stop listening to it
Intriguing the way they gather three completly differents parts like a unity !
This sounds kinda grim, but the relatively casual and unchanging nature of the drum work contrasts with the ominous and ever-shifting nature of the rest of the composure interrupted in that once-in-a-while moment where the guitar riff and the soft-sung lyrics seem to embody the occasional acoustic sunbeam of one's own sense of humanity and connection with the air and trees around you.
Regardless, you keep walking, a constant in an existentially puzzling universe; does 'gnosis' itself not signify the sum of our knowledge with an emphasis on mystical insight? Regardless, the streets are long and the road always wants to talk. The percussive mess of our passage rolls on, whatever the existential questions posed by our advances.
CPphazor spoiler alert
Ceefax :)
The painting is drawn by famous melancholic artist Hugo Simberg. Great loop music got to say!
Solo un genio puó mescolare in una canzone vari generi musicali come il dark ambient,urban e l'electronic.Questa canzone ha un'atmosfera difficile da descrivere,a tratti inquietante,malinconica,rabbiosa(il pezzo de "i prefer to remain silent").
Love it, this is when ulver took a further step into experimentation ....
Jest Sylwester 2012-2013. Siedzimy i delektujemy się Ulverem :)
1:03 Emnity - Empire Earth OST
sample
Holy shit, this could easily be part of a Silent Hill soundtrack. Even the lyrics.
Amazing.
Direi che non c'entra proprio nulla con Silent Hill.
One of my favorite
Great band, epic music, excellent picture for the perfect song!
Nice, thumbs up
I love this one
incredible !
This EP is awesome, it took me so long to find it
I love this so much
Ulver ! Notable
Thanks for linking the artwork.
I knew thats where arcturus got there killer surreal sound
this is fuggin awesome!
Ewolucja tego zespołu doprowadziła do perfekcji muzycznej :) Tylko się cieszyć. Ja tylko żałuję że nie ma mnie na koncercie :(
ej rel
I love when that Boombap Beat drops in
Ulver needs this guitarist back. He and Kristoffer were an awesome team
Understand, and not knowing how to express myself without using pagan words. Amazing!
Arthur Rimbaud's quote.
Hugo Simberg, so much respect. See his "Iltaa kohti" or "Towards the Evening" about his old man.
This is pretty awesome :).
Tore Ylwizaker is such a bad ass.
pure hip noise. magia per ogni1
Ideal para hacer el amor con el disfrute del silencio de las palabras, solo con este ambiente de Ulver.
Tú si sabes!
Insanee!!!
an Ulver-Igorrr album collab would be so fuckn good. so good. too good!!1
The World as we know it, would end
dope
Hugo Simberg and Ulver.... good combo.
que pepino!! what a cucumber!!!

+ulver44 bro, you know any of their albums or songs where He has this type of vocal? there are multum of ulver songs but without his vocals. I heard memorable fancy plates like 1000x times over and over and im looking for more of Rygg
+Rico Kowalski Porn Piece or the Scars of Cold Kisses, that song comes to mind.
+Rico Kowalski wars of the roses & blood inside (in the red, the truth, Christmas) might have what you're looking for
shadows is more somber; also childhoods end may have vocals you'll enjoy
thank you brother!!
thanks im listening to wars of the roses right now, new adventure for me, thanks for help!:)
Ulver...Hacer eso que hacen...Tienen 2 discos decentes. su atmosfera està radicada.
so beautiful!
PERFECT. JUST FUCKING PERFECT !!!
Ulver went all trip hop....
This is when they began listening to Massive attack, Autechre and Portishead.
nowadays ulver became synthwave...i mean....ulverwave
Words have more than one use.
So, unless you want your mind fucked inside-out, dont ever get high and listen to those 3 albums in that order: Neurosis- Souls at Zero-Neurosis- Eye of every storm and then Ulver- Metamorphosis...
this is well composed!
@BrutalBrutalDude Hey, added a link to the description. :)
Reminds me of covid era
hey im an art student and if anyone knows who the painting is by it would be great help
The painting is made by the finnish artist, symbolist Hugo Simberg, "dödens trädgård", the "garden of death". One of the greatest artists ever, in my opinion.
from 2:48
I hear early In The Nursery!
@szeryfhl mało powiedziane. Tak zaczął się wszechświat... :)
Actually, that is the exactly correct use of the word.
Haha, you´re totally right man :-).
No, because it means exactly, what it should. :-)
Any Front Line Assembly fans hearing some similarities to "Silent Ceremony"?
Hey, what type of music genre would this be?
Ulverian to the core
@BrutalBrutalDude garden of death by hugo simberg
hey man its "Understand, and not knowing how to express myself without using pagan words".
perfect music ulver
and i can hnle buddies voice at the end in its smaall dosage!!! damb... i can never handle voices!
What's this painting?
Hugo Simberg's "The Garden of Death"
5:08..
Science, the new aristocracy
Progress, the world is on the march
Why shouldn't it turn too?
It's the vision of numbers.
We are moving towards the Spirit.
Certainly deserted:
It's the voice of the oracle, what I say.
Understand, and not knowing how to express myself without using hidden words.
I prefer to remain silent
Science! The new nobility! Progress.
The world progresses!
Why shouldn't it turn as well?
It's the vision of numbers.
We advance towards the Spirit.
It's quite certain: it's oracular, what I say.
I know, and unaware how to express myself without pagan words, I'd rather be mute
Jesus Christ. It sounds like Sleazy and Jhonn Balance making hip hop music xD
when 2:50 kicks in
to musiał być udany sylwester :) U mnie gościł Pink Floyd i Nick Cave.
Creepy
Not knowing how to express myself without using pagan words.

The problem with pop music (I mean that in the purest most positive sense Artists like the Beatles, Syd Barrett{sometimes}, and the Smiths) is that they come; they take you ONE place, and then they leave. This music takes you so many places you forget how to count, and your soul body leaves your physical body, and you float above the collective madness, and you laugh but in a silent pleasing way that calms the ear and the soul. I think90percent of Ambient Artists could listen to more ULVER.
Memento mori
Satanic 303
mfw I live 9km from that painting.
el comentario de Majinga es genial jajaja
Dark ambient, I guess.
You guess? You're damn right!
I love everything except the singing at the end :c
Thats the real ulverian feat of the whole song without it it could be anyone but Ulver
No.
"I prefer to remain silent". Still, they shout it loud, ruining what would have been a perfect instrumental song. Imho.
silence teaches you how to sing bub.
That is what made it Ulverian. Garm' vocals reading orsingimg Arthur Rimbaud.
George Michael met Massive Attack in hell and made this track .
George Michael? 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Kinda shame how bleak electronic ulver is. I'm not a great enthusiast of trip-hop but when comparing first metal releases to circa Perdition City and later EP's and albums it's a real downhill from something fresh in the stagnant genre to something stagnant in the fresh genre.
keep listning dude! you have the feeling, just keep listning.
I love listening to Ulver's trip-hop when I am doing something that requires concentration or when doing something repetetive i.e. homework or painting. It is bleak, but for me, there take on bleak is what I need =D
Aww, I knew they couldn't sustain their good stuff. This is like Brian Eno 1976 and Pink Floyd after they went lame.
This came out 18 years ago...
