Ulver - Blinded by Blood (Illustrations by H.R. Giger)

[def3mno62]

I don't ever need music with drugs... but it is a nice add lol

[Laprevraven]

Gigity Gigity Giger!

[Heptasmegistus]

Is the first Instrument wet fingers rubbing the Rims of Glasses full of Water?

[Caleb9849]

The "crying, crying, crying" part at about 2:55 sounds dramatically different through my car speakers than it does through earphones or good quality speakers. I like it a little bit better in my car stereo because a lower-pitched and more pleasant (in my opinion) layer of the music comes out to the foreground (it's way in the background on good speakers). Just thought everyone might like to know that.

[QingLong90]

Sounds like Devil May Cry, I love it.

[TruthSufferage]

The first time I seen this video, the combination of the song and all these pictures scared the shit out of me. Then again it was like 3:00 in the morning.

[helloweenarctico]

STEVE JOBS!; NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO­OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO­OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO­OOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Domzdream]

Such a powerful track!

[MetalMinecraftDan]

is this the same artist who did the art work for triptykon?

[jayc2469]

@MetalMinecraftDan As far as I'm aware it was a collaboration with Giger and Vincent Castiglia.

More info can be found on roadrunnerrecords (search google for 'triptykon artwork giger')

[bdusanek]

dude it's like playing old school final fantasy

[BOOOZB]

Blinded by blood !!! Do you know what NATO is really doing in Tripoly ?? It's a second Iraq ,a slaughter and the massive kill of the population stays under the lies of all our medias . Who are those worse than nazi gangsters using our arms , our medias to commit crimes ??? Guess who they are ???

[InfoRoom]

Giger is beyond words..but one must not duel in such world..it is disturbing, and there we might encounter the worse of creature...the monster we all are deep inside.

[joope666]

@InfoRoom You either confront the dark, or it confronts you. What you try to repress you only make stronger, and then it controls you. It is basic psychology confronting darker emotions and bringing into the light what most people don't want to see for analysis makes you a better person instead of being unconsciously governed by them.

[godsstillbornson]

HR Giger has a thing for SNM......Dont believe it?...Look closely...

[LawyerScumGhost]

@godsstillbornson no shit Sherlock, any more amazing insights?

[godsstillbornson]

@LawyerScumGhost Oh my bad buddy...More insight, hmmmm, I see that your being a prick, is that really necessary?..

[LawyerScumGhost]

@godsstillbornson funny that we knew each other previously under different user-names and ended up squabbling on this video before realizing it; and yes, i am a professional prick. peace out, my friend.

[TheJovanist]

This shit sucks. really people...terrible gloomy dark bullshit.

[godsstillbornson]

@TheJovanist

Dont be so closed minded dude because you cant relate..

[joope666]

@TheJovanist You suck, go listen to Bieber or lady gaga if you can't stomach music and art with substance.

[davycrocketful]

giger is an amazing artist..love his work..

[KerryAbernethy]

i dont need drugs with this music :D

[TorontoSHARP]

Best song to get stoned and chill to!

[TheJonKl]

JESUS IS A WOMAN!!!

[FrankTheBunny88]

Simply amazing

[N0oDLX]

Great artwork! Reminds me of Final Fantasy! x)

[N0oDLX]

@N0oDLX

Ok scrap that.. after watching the whole video I'm terrified! xD

[poisondrops]

World needs more songs like this<3

[aggitard]

about how it feels when i get my blackouts..

[FuckUiWannaSleep]

DMT + Blinded by Blood ..

Epic alien communication !

[jaknife99]

H.R. Giger is really into aliens.

[AcidinmyShoe]

@jaknife99 and dicks!

[forumsigner]

Dont yall see? 1:49 He says "Jesus is a WOMAN"!!!

1:51 = "Wooooo..." 1:57 = "...man"!

If the world looked like that after the rapture, I would gladly rip my bible in God's face just to stay on earth!

[slug9z]

@m4rn4 you fuckin pothead

[m4rn4]

@slug9z oh yeah:D:D whatever:D

[sohaibthephilosopher]

@m4rn4

I am tired and fed-up of this world . I just don't want to be here . Not like suicide or death but Sometimes I just want to escape in totality . . . .

Should I do Drugs ?

[m4rn4]

@sohaibthephilosopher i don't think so...try something that distracts you from reality... i like listening to music while i walk in a forest lol:D thats the moment when i stop thinking about shit and just enjoy nature

[sohaibthephilosopher]

@m4rn4

I like to sleep a lot. But the problem with sleep is that your consciousness is altered during sleep.You are not fully aware of your being.

And I don't have a forest nearby . :D

[m4rn4]

@sohaibthephilosopher or play videogames,,,thats helpfull too :DD

[sohaibthephilosopher]

@m4rn4

Any particular titles you suggest ?

I like FPS games.

[m4rn4]

@sohaibthephilosopher music or games?

[sohaibthephilosopher]

@m4rn4 Games with so immersive gameplay that I am cut-off from the world .

[Septagotius]

@m4rn4 Whenever I read your comment I hate humans more and more.

Thanks!

[m4rn4]

@Septagotius me too..world is going to an end... lucky i have my friends near by ;)

[FuckUiWannaSleep]

Speechless ..

[dvsoldier]

This song is insane...creepy, strange, surreal but incredibly hauntingly beautiful.

[freak1444]

3:35 + goose bumps and watery eyes

[tunglour]

Where are my blast beats?

[MrMixiBoy]

this is real satanic music ... nice art, nice concept...

[Metaalhoofdje123]

@MrMixiBoy Satanic? Are you nuts?

[MrMixiBoy]

@Metaalhoofdje123 ??? YES SATANIC!!!

[BOOOZB]

It sounds like the voice of crowds of young guys massacred all along great eastern meadows by 1944 long walk to underworld. Echoes of living skeletons dancing the starving mambo over all eastern snows , around the supercooled human's meat factories . The realm of far grounds under Kaganovitch's rule : the butchers' law of red blod suckers . Our greatest deads chorals until the next unhuman symphony .

[templarseries]

The very beginning of this sounds like Eric Claptons theme to COMMUNION - check it out on Youtube.

[templarseries]

Amazing match of video and sound - I love Geiger - Ulver are new to me - but great.

[Zopator]

When I'm listening to this music I feel like I'm not born yet or dead. Vacuity

[matenzo]

3:37 creeps the hell outta me :P

Love H. R. Giger's work. It isn't all that diverse but it's like no other.

Hope he's involved in Ridley Scott's upcoming Alien Prequel. That would be awesome.

[AM642]

Brain Salad Surgery ;)

[sirena65mm]

Splendido!! :-O

[LJPpro]

I'm scared to think that this Giger fellow may have been able to glimpse into the future and see what it looks like.

[Neueregel]

Giger too so much LSD to make all these obviously

[EarthquakeMachine]

@Neueregel Not because u need it means everybody does u know?,, besides, even totally doped u couldn´t do such a thing SON

[MrHexagonsun]

the music is trippin' but the lyrics don't quite make sense...

[TechnoGospel]

Sounds like Enya on crack.

[MachinaeSupremacist]

@TechnoGospel Just crack?

[tcbshaded39]

song is a trip and a half with the video...

[vboxeca]

Giger rules.

[WEISsGEBeter]

H.R. Giger rules! My favorite science fiction artist.

[Necr0Cys2topsY]

@WEISsGEBeter He's actually a surreal artist.

[muntheraqel]

are they random pictures'? tell me plz where to get them

[LittleHampie]

@muntheraqel

The Artist is H.R. Giger, a very talented man from Switzerland.

[Bubba694]

@muntheraqel these pictures are all concept art of  movie "alien"

[bodingoji]

I feel like i wanna just fly around nowhere after I seeing this vid.. it destroys something deep inside me. the music and the pics fits just perfectly.

Can anyone recommand me any other songs like this?

[reptile1000]

@bodingoji eos and vigil by ulver the sky is broken and my weakness by moby

[Metaalhoofdje123]

@bodingoji Just listen to the entire Shadows of the Sun album bro!

[Odin310]

are there other songs like this one?

[RobbyBlitz]

Giger designed the aliens from the popular movie series

[BZG07]

I dont know if there aware, but that intro sound is so much like the gutter sounds in Dancer in The Dark

[g0ggles1337]

Cool images... solid track

[thanatoutheosJr]

the picture at 5.24 is the cover of Emerson Lake and Palmer's LP "Brain Salad Surgery". Giger aslo painted the cover to "To Mega Therion" by Celtic Frost. Great artist and great music!

[MultiMEGAHERTZ]

he illustrated real good where this mankind is heading

[Heptasmegistus]

Is this the same Artist who has a black + white Painting of rows upon rows of copulating Penises + Vaginas? I saw it in an album years ago + have been looking for it ever since.

[jamescydonia]

@Heptasmegistus yes, yes it is... my freind's aunty has a print of it hanging in her front room

[FuckUiWannaSleep]

Perfect .. The music desicribes the pictures perfectly ..

Avant-Garde rocks !

[Creaturelover18]

Every time I listen to the song and just stare at the images without blinking, I feel kinda...high.. :S

[Mesmerized]

Someone please tell me what program I would use to make videos like this? I have a windows os. 

[powerofthepistols]

This music is free of the corrupted structure and message most popular music is caught within. Worshiping the god within is the most sacred and oldest form of philosophy, and Ulver catches the essence of that thought. This music will always move something deep within me. Peace

[SuperAcab666]

AWESOME:-)

[LawyerScumGhost]

this is just awesome, well done.

[Dimdez]

Ulver was good as black metal and as ambient.... also check out Mortiis Era 1 for those of you whom like dark ambient music :)

[TheDoctorOvSilly]

This CD is perhaps the only item that might pass as a true alien artifact. Excellent.

[zefusk2]

la perfezione si sente, quando almeno si tenta di raggiungerla

[a4d2d0]

I am a Christian, so I naturally don't think very highly of HR Giger, but his art is truly AMAZING, I love it. It brings me back to my days as a child, and back to the thoughts, images and dreams I was experiencing from 7-13 years old as a result of a parents death. These thoughts are also what led me into the Occult and border-line Satanism, but I still find it fascinating. Since I found God, these things no longer try my patience, but I also miss being scared, for now theres no fears to face.

[Explodius1990]

Pure awesomeness.

[MerryMullet]

Beautifully eerie. This song haunts every inch of my being in the richest way possible. Cheers, Ulver, exquisite piece.

[maggotfrom1993]

isn't the paintor who made these paints the same who created the album cover from triptykon's new album ?

[ThexAbacus]

This music and pictures capture incredible atmosphere of loneliness, like surreal dreamscapes from insane mind. I wonder what is going on inside of Gigers head...

[LordNazgulKing]

I don't blame Ulver for moving away from black metal. The majority of people who listen to black metal are closed minded, ignorant cunts with the intelligence of a five year old.

[utarefsonmetushelac]

@LordNazgulKing sad but true

[LordNazgulKing]

And people call Lady Gaga weird...

[ErnestRama]

@LordNazgulKing ahahahahahahahah lol

[ConversusxLocus]

This is my best definition of what music actually is :)

[DorTheCore]

Wierd.

[ShockTherapist007]

not impressed

[LordNazgulKing]

@ShockTherapist007 I feel sorry for you.

[Rainis99]

masterpiece

[otto3663]

I have the tattoo that is the avatar for this video on my thigh - 6"x12" - it looks exactly like HR's original - shading and all. It was done by a great artist named Mike Geiger who used to live in Jacksonville FL. The subject of the tattoo was HR's wife (or ex) who killed herself. My buddy Mike Geiger did the same thing less than a year ago. Life goes on.

[utarefsonmetushelac]

@otto3663 wow nice tatoo

[douggyfrreshh]

every time i hear this song i can't help but think of Blade Runner

[Scottehicks]

I thought I was going to die watching that video...

[utarefsonmetushelac]

combinaçaõ perfeita

[BrainFreeze25]

wow...........................­.......

[itzamna666]

crap! what happened with the brilliant raw black metal from these guys?? :(

[ih8makinusernames]

@itzamna666 thye started playing electronica i wihs they would return to BM for just one album. That would be amazing.

[birthofeternity]

@itzamna666 I also love their black metal and used to "hate" their electronic music...until I heard this song. I may prefer "Bergatt", but since Ulver continue to be able to create profound music, their decision to change styles turned out better than if they had become repetitive parodies of themselves within black metal. At least their metal albums (and "Kveldssanger") are of high quality.

[Krahntes]

They should seriously make movie scores

[achilleselbow]

@Krahntes I think they have. Svidd Neger and Lyckantropen are two films they've scored.

[Krahntes]

@achilleselbow Yeah, I found out like 5 minutes later, lol.

[metalcamilo6]

increibleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee­eeeeee

[RockSchoolLessons]

Intense.

[diazenith]

terrified and fascinated at the same time, but I like it anyway.

[MortiisSex69]

Brilliant!!!!

[def3mno62]

Holy shit those illustrations are crazy

[VeryVery1]

Ulver plus Giger? Cool

[Dezekrator]

Is it just me or does it say "Jesus Walks" from 1:50 to 2:00" ?

[reptile1000]

@Dezekrator yea it dose

[Dezekrator]

@reptile1000 And it's not included in the lyrics....strange

[reptile1000]

@Dezekrator hmmm

[CrepusculeDupont]

@Dezekrator I thought it said "The energy in my soul... Jesus' wonder"... English is not my native tongue so can you tell me if it could be it?

[k1mone]

This is just creepy.... MOM!!!

[utarefsonmetushelac]

ulver matches with giger

[shewarrior1]

I have loved Giger for over 35 years.. I love his work and his life story.....

[vampirialum]

musica de verdad para gente de verdad .gracias ulver !

[bugsbillygoat]

blindfold girl 2010 backflip@ astoresEcrets

[subhumanmaster]

also i'd love a collaboration between skinny puppy and ulver

nivek ogre and garm would be cool even though they're different styles of music

i'd also like to have seen cEvin key trying the programming on this song and seeing ho it would turn out that'd be awesome

[MargitHjukse]

disturbing and hauntingly beautiful!

[praisethedog]

i feel jealous of this man is so deep, the depth of his art is the freedom of his soul, im just blabbering hehehe

[CrepusculeDupont]

i think devin + ulver would suck really hard, i like both but that would be like mixing ice cream and pizza.

[RyanVentriloque]

This is just dripping will emotion and atmosphere!

[mamutzb]

AWESOME, I LOVE IT.

[IVomitOnYourGod]

Enjoy the void.

[subhumanmaster]

i'd love to hear devin townsend do vocals on this garm is also great

[skwuig]

Devin and Ulver together would be mindblowing. Although I think his voice is a little to 'over the top' for Ulver's music, it'll still be a great combination that would rock the music world. (i'm a very big fan of both)

[standardbearer]

awesome idea:)

Both are my top favorites

[Scratch47]

Whilst the unaware and dulled couples go traipsing around the usual cultural riff raff, the rest of us figured out the true depth of love and hang around this video. Happy Hallmark day everyone. All is full of love.

[leitesman666]

@Scratch47 All is full of love.-----BJORK WORDS :)

[Feuyaer]

@Scratch47 What an pretentious, typical elitist thing to say :)

[Scratch47]

@Feuyaer Oh gawd, you should have seen me a few years ago, trouncing around in the forest late at night, stoned out of my head, listening to Nattens Madrigal on my IPod wearing corpsepaint and a 'I love Garm' sticker on my trenchcoat. I'm still trying to wash away the memories!

[Feuyaer]

@Scratch47 YOU'RE SO BLAACK METUL :|

[TechnoGospel]

@Scratch47 gay

[Scratch47]

@TechnoGospel I'm waiting for the time Ulver release a remix called 'All The Love Is Gay'

[Uruk666Hai]

@Scratch47

"on my iPod"

hahaahahahahahahaha

childrens

[Solitudinis]

@Scratch47 Ipod? Not that many years ago then ;) lol

[tceBansai]

@Solitudinis As already alluded to when he used the word "few", which means "not that many". ;)

[Solitudinis]

@tceBansai Yeah, but I am more into... "what the hell is happening with Cds and their artwork for people to be lazy to have them?" ;)

[xSpArTiChRiSx]

@Scratch47 i wish i had freinds like you! (sad face)

[subhumanmaster]

anyone know the choir music that sampled at 3;52?

[zealberg]

the creature on the far right at 5.18 would have been a great design for the 'Predator' creature

[matildd]

EXCELLENT

[burntheweb]

This combination of music and art is serious shit!! I love both artists as standalone musicians/painter+sculptor, but the combi is breathtaking!!

[Midvinterblot542]

This song would be much better without the R&B Barry White sounding vocals.

[nathanel1313]

actually I like it, it sounds very eerie in this song and kind of fits it... of course for me :) I totally love this song.

[subhumanmaster]

@Midvinterblot542 well it is sampled i believe so don't think garm is trying to impersonate a black person

[subhumanmaster]

@Midvinterblot542 so basically at least it isn't some white guy doing the r&b vocals and at least there isn't rapping

[Midvinterblot542]

@subhumanmaster I don't care if it's garm himself, the vocals ruin it.

[Feuer75]

Mindblowing.... makes me shiver.....

[isia19415]

AMAZING!!!

My dream is to go to his Museum and see all :)

P.S. Music is great!!

[subhumanmaster]

@isia19415 music sure is lol

[soniasit]

Mindblowing...

[F5unleashed0839]

Holy mother of GOD. *Jaw drops, and faints*
