Ulver - Providence

a song from their album "Wars of the Roses" (2011)

Ulver (Norwegian for "wolves") is a multi-disciplinary musical quartet from Oslo, Norway and now, London, England. The band was formed by Kristoffer "Garm" Rygg in 1993, and their current members are Rygg (vocal, programming), Jørn H. Sværen (misc.), Tore Ylwizaker (programming, piano) and latest member Daniel O'Sullivan (guitar, piano, various). Since their first folk metal/black metal release in 1993, Ulver's style has ever been changing by combining elements of experimental, electronic and ambient music, avant-garde, rock, trip-hop, and their own genre-defying innovations.

This would be the perfect soundtrack to roaming around a dark, solitary, post-apocalyptic world. Dark, haunting, beautiful.

@travics77 "black period"

... ew.

[travics77]

I didn't want to listen to Ulver's new material because of a friend who told me their Black period was much better. I learned not to judge things before taste them. This is genius.

@snupcho, depends of the definition of heavy. i mean, on one hand if you're going by metal standards, something like deathmetal is impossible without distortion, but on the other hand if you're going by musical standards one could quite succesfully claim that Richard Wagner (for example) represented death metal of that era. the definition of heavy sounds really precise, but its actually damn vague.

[snupcho]

@thychaos I don't think you've understood my point... Oh and they've been heavier than this - Blood Inside is a very heavy and tough record. There are so many layers of depth, death, insanity and loneliness in this record, that "heavy" is a small word for that. It's like the whole Universe is in pain and mourning over the end of everything that the word Love represents. At least that's how I assimilate it...

[thychaos]

@snupcho umm, not really. none of their music has ever been that heavy.

@immortalx50 He does the strange creaking noises near the end.
