Below is the latest from ULVER:

"Many of you have been waiting for sound, and we are sorry for the silence. We needed to be alone, without the hustle and bustle of the living. We are uncomfortable with the world, the industry and our place. We have been working, sluggishly, well aware we could end up with nothing. Nonetheless we believe we have succeeded in giving our fears some kind of form. SHADOWS OF THE SUN, our 7th full-length album, is finished and will be released October 1st. We feel it is our most personal record to date. Low-key, dark, and tragic. As we are."

ULVER, Oslo, July 13 2007.

If I were to check out some of the non-metal Ulver stuff, which one should it be?

1) Quick Fix of Melancholy EP
2) Perdition City
3) Svid Neger

Thank you sir!

So wait, "Themes..." and "Kveldssanger" are classified as "metal"? Cause these are the two essential "non metal" Ulver albums as far as i'm concernced.

Yes, Kveldssanger indeed....but I was thinking about his electronic stuff...forgot about that one.

As far as "Themes...", I knew you would chime in on that. I still can't get into that album after years of owning it.

A Quick Fix of Melancholy, on the other hand, is one of my favorite EP's of all-time. Brilliant.

If they keep it along them lines, as it suggests, we are probably in for a great treat. I still need to give Blood Inside more time imo.

I second what has been said already. I've been listening to Lyckantropen Themes a lot lately. But Perdition City will always win.

It does seem that way because we heard nothing about it until now, unlike with Blood Inside and its long gestation period, but it has been two years since that album already...maybe it's the lack of EPs that contributed to this news being a surprise...

I love everything I've ever heard by Ulver (aside from Nattens Madrigal), yet I still only own Bergtatt. I'm smrt.

 

[MajestikMøøse]

this had better be a better album than that wet-fart, blood inside.

 

[Demilich]

Uh, Blood Inside ruled from the 2 songs I heard. Check your sources.

 

[MajestikMøøse]

it sucked from the whole album I heard. Check YOUR sources, biatch.

SERIOUSLY.

fuckin' a man.

 

[Trylakos]

FUCK YES

 

[Trevor Marks]

Ulver should be the most revered artists in modern music. Needless to say, I am counting the days till it's release.

And concerning their press release, I'd like to think I understand their disposition.

 

[MajestikMøøse]

I think you guys are forgetting the cardinal rule of having low expectations so that nothing can ever disappoint you.

 

[hahahaholocaust]

Ulver sure are pumping out the pretentious shit-a-thons.

It feels like only yesterday that I laughed at how bad Blood Inside was.
