BUY EVERYTHING BY Ulver EVEN THEIR ELECTRONICA AMBIENT ALBUMS. Um, to explain, Ulver WAS a second wave Black Metal band that heavily integrated folk elements to a point that had not been done before. Bergtatt and Nattens Mardigal are their only actual Black Metal albums aside from demos and splits, though. They released one neo-folk album in '96 (it's great) and after Nattens they completely fell away from Black Metal, creating incredible ambient albums and dabbling in electronic and glitch as well. I love all of their work except for Marriage of Heaven And Hell (I can't get over the Fact that the album is 100 minutes long) but their best Black Metal album is easily Bergtatt (one of my favourite Black Metal albums Ever) and I also love Perdition City and Teachings in Silence, but those are both ambient electronic, just so you know. But I HIGHLY recommend having an open mind and checking that stuff out too. And they're not National Socialist. Apparently one of the reasons Ulver departed from Black Metal was due to the rising identity of nationalism within Black Metal (could have just been a rumour though). |
| wasteoflife! says : yeah the stuff i was listening to kinda seemed folky ambient and Black Metal all in one, it was awesome. Ill have to go back to youtube and see if i can find out what album i was listening to |

You were listening to Bergtatt. Their other Black Metal album is pure unfiltered rawness, and aside from one acoustic solo in the first track there are no elements of folk in it. If you are interested in checking out a few of the later songs, listen to Blinded by Blood, Eos, Vowels, and Silence Teaches you How to Sing. It's really amazing stuff. |
| wasteoflife! says : will do as soon as i get Home from work. Did you Ever get that Paysage D'Hiver selftitled ? |

I don't buy stuff unless I hear it first and really like it. I still haven't listened to Paysage D'Hiver, but they are on my list! |
| wasteoflife! says : neither do i, sometimes i pirate an album then if i like it, buy it, if i don't like it i deleted off my library......is this a crime even though i buy the cd if i like it ? (i mean in the music industry not the actual law) |

Downloading free music should never be considered a crime. I wouldn't be aware of ANY of the bands I now listen to regularly if it wasn't for being able to hear the music for free through the internet. The underground metal scene of the 80s and 90s traded tapes like crazy, not concerned with money so much as getting their music out there and circulated by people with similar interests. |
| wasteoflife! says : good to hear, i just downloaded some 'Ulver', fuck they have a big dicography! I got an early album, a middle album and the latest album. In a week or so i will tell ya what i think and if i will be buying there stuff. |
