Ulver

Profile:
Evolutionary concept artists, from Norway, who've exaggerated and blurred the lines between every musical form they've been enveloped. As unconventional as their approach to music has always been the results have been consistently adherent and profound. In larval form they torqued the genre of black metal with folk, jazz, minimalism and soundscape offering this generally conservative design liberties it was once afraid to embrace. After completing their initial conceptual trilogy Ulver have astounded all who have experienced their current material with elegance, intelligence and multiplicity. Now, more than ever, Ulver have altered the way form can join and function in ways rarely sought. Retaining elements of their past, they now manipulate and extend the possibilities with a comprehensive understanding of the developing aural technologies.

Ulver means "Wolves" in Norwegian.

Ulver are an examle how development should look, or progress.Don´t state foolishly on the spot, as regards music, but they go.A lot of bands can this development envy.Todays black metal scene (from which comes Ulver) is heavily in its prime.Maybe today's black metal bands have taken place silly listening Ulver.Be formation would produce a lot of quality bands, and not just non-genuine copy.
Review by bowman Dec 03, 2004 (edited over 7 years ago)
ULVER is an absolutely outstanding act in terms of musical variety and class. most items listed in discogs can be filed under electronica or ambient, but ULVER started as one of the finest black metal acts ever and released glorious gems such as "nattens madrigal" or the symphonic frightening dark neofolk jewel "kveldsvangar" - i know only very few acts which one can call truly incalculable cause they dont count in musical limitations or traditions, some names could be LAIBACH or BURZUM (dont take this as a simple analogy to these acts!!! its just the multitudinousness i speak about ....)
