There are bands who are elected by fate to be cult without the opportunity to become famous, Ved Buens Ende remains an hidden treasures to be found by the few, a radical experience that can change life, a grey, melancholic, sorrowful, sick vision obscured by an almost surreal atmosphere.
The black metal echoes are involved in a new dimension, where the Voivod-like disharmonic geniality and jazz influences is a magical hallucinating potion. A record label like Misanthropy have the historical value of the release of the ‘95 Ved Buens Ende's debut “Written in Waters” , an album where a super-band, formed by members of Ulver and Dodheimsgard, performs a music written to open gates to mysterious places of total isolation from the common imaginary. Listen to the awesome songs of “Written…” is something unusual, darkly suffused, hypnotic, a dimension of death and spiritual alienation. This is a journey to non-human landscapes of misanthropy, where a man left behind its nature to flow in tunnels of imagination, shading visions, descending in the abyss of the sombre mind. A memory is fading away, like a loud echo.

The second official Misanthropy release of that Norwegian band is a remake of some excellent demo songs and some new ones, probably. “Those Who Caress The Pale” is a shorter album that sound in the same vein of “Written…”, similar moods and the same excellent quality, a chapter of absolute artistic excellence. Ved Buens are so original, unique, the singer, like in the debut, alternate the raw, harsh and extreme screaming to a sorrowful and melancholic clean singing, the emotive power of this lines are haunting, a voice from the deeper, inner self. So many years are passed and nothing new is talked about a possible future and it's really a pity, but at last the ingenious spirit of the band's members has an expression in other interesting bands in the Norwegian scene, the rest is history, cult!!
