| | Ulver - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Kveldssanger, Ulver's second album, contrasts with Bergtatt as it uses acoustic guitar and cello with chamber chants performed by Garm, and completely eschews the traditional black metal elements of Bergtatt, while still having a folk theme. | | | Ulver's first three albums are often classified as their "Black Metal Trilogie," although they are in fact quite diverse in musical styles. | | | Ulver's next two releases, the extended play Metamorphosis and full-length album Perdition City, were even more experimental than the “Blake Album”. |

| | Metal Invader ( Ulver - Blood Inside [featured album] ) Review. |
| | ULVER create the music that we will be listening to in 10 years time. | | | The next ULVER release was a surprise — Kveldssanger was a neo-folk acoustic record, very distant from the black metal musical genre, but close to its pagan spirit. | | | It was not until 1998, with the release of “Themes from William Blake's the Marriage of Heaven and Hell” that the musical breakthrough finally came. |

| | Ulver - Satan Stole My Teddybear |
| | Ulver's first three albums are as different as can be, particularly the acoustic Kveldssanger. | | | Ulver seems to have slowly mastered their new musical territory and this work reflects another purposeful step on the journey. | | | Ulver moves away from a more beat reliant foundation and instead deconstructs what could be construed as neo-classical music. |

| | We have decided to release this album under the Ulver moniker, because the concept and visual aspect of the music on this album is entirely the same as we do when performing in metal manners. | | | I think that the use of acoustic instruments presumes musical education. | | | What label is going to release your new albums and by when? |

| | Ulver - A Quick Fix of Melancholy - The End Records - EP/CD |
| | Ulver have been blurring the lines and boundaries on just what can and cannot be done in music pretty much since their debut in 1994. | | | Since 2000, Ulver have released two soundtracks, a ten-year anniversary remix album featuring a slew of guests and a number of EPs. | | | In 1998, the band would break from their humble roots, assumedly never to return, to release the first album under Ulver mastermind Kristoffer Rygg& new label, Jester Records. |

| | Amazon.com: Bergtatt: Music: Ulver |
| | Though the members of Ulver now dismiss this album as an "immature, typical black metal album", (to quote Garm himself)it's hard to argue that Bergtatt was one of the finest atmospheric BM albums to come out in the early 90's. | | | Ulver have crossed a few entirely different boundaries with their music, and I have yet to hear all their CDs, but any fan should at least hear this to see the band's roots. | | | After hearing this album it will be no surprise to you that Ulver went on to write soundtracks, that's how huge and emmersive their sound is. Ulver are the embodiemient of mystery, every song envokes an enigmatic sort of ambience. |

| | Ulver: Perdition City: Pitchfork Review |
| | Ulver makes music for people who want to convince themselves that they dig creepy music without ever having to worry about nervously glancing over their shoulder or feeling their pulse rise. | | | You see, Ulver makes music that is "dark" and "ominous" without actually posing any legitimate threat, not unlike those two girls you knew back in high school. | | | Maybe, in their more traditional form, Ulver is a really solid metal band. |

| | Ulver and Garm (Christophorus G. Rygg or Trickster G., whichever you prefer) were at one stage the essential dark/black metal band. | | | Those with an appreciation of the art of music; read on; if you are narrow minded in your perceptions of music; read on anyway, as this album may endeavour to change that... | | | Bottom Line: The bottom line is that “Perdition City” is not the metal Ulver we once knew and loved, whether this is good or bad is a tough call to make, “Perdition City” will be forged by the listener, up to you to discern whether your experience of the neo-Ulver will be good or bad. |

| | BNR Metal Pages -- Ulver |
| | For their followup, though, came the first surprise, as Kveldssanger is essentially an all-acoustic black metal album, rich with traditional Norse folk melodies and chants, certainly not what many might expect as a band's second album. | | | The primary band of visionary Kristoffer Rygg, who early in his career went by the name Garm and now is known as Trickster G, Ulver presents one of the most unique and baffling of recording histories of any metal band. | | | In one of the most startling left turns in the history of extreme metal (eclipsing that of Pyogenesis), Ulver released in 1999 the album Themes From William Blake's The Marriage Of Heaven And Hell, the title alone being a loud signal that this had little if anything in common with the previous releases. |

| | Ulver : Bergtatt - Listen, Review and Buy at ARTISTdirect |
| | Ulver's first official album blends together diverse elements that would surface on their next two (wildly different) albums. | | | On the one hand, there are sections of grim, blasting black metal with harsh vocals and blurred, buzzing guitars, similar to their later Nattens Madrigal/Madrigal of the Night album (though with less savage production). | | | Considered a black metal classic by some followers of the genre, Bergtatt is an excellent debut and one of the high points among Ulver's impressive, diverse discography. |

| | Unlike most other bands, Ulver can surprise me, and though there's not as much surprise on this album as I had hoped there might be, it's still very cool. | | | Some of their compositional chops from "A Quick Fix..." are on display, however, as Ulver creates magnificent textures in every song on this album. | | | Almost two minutes into the track, the song comes together with Garm's best singing on the album, in a lower register, engulfed in a wash of sound effects and instrumental flourishes. |

| | Ulver - Blood Inside - Stylus Magazine |
| | What makes Ulver’s descent into the otiose so significant is their late ‘90’s triad, Bergtatt, Kveldssanger, and Nattens Madrigal; these records, apparently burgeoning from some serious Darkthrone worship, took the bees-in-a-bucket Black Metal guitar sound to its logical extreme. | | | Of course, Ulver know that in equating its new release to Black Metal, the faithful will think they’ve returned to their Nordic roots exemplified by the early “trilogie,” which will inevitably lead to more sales than this crock of shit justifies. | | | What remains is a batch of sickly sweet songs that sounds more like XTC than Zyklon-B. Lyrics that wax like so much adolescent prose are coupled with over-the-top production including bells, synths, and layers upon layers of elegiac heavy vocals to induce ennui rather than awe. |

| | The songs on the album has only slow harmonical acoustic guitars with additional flutes and cello I believe, accompanied with choir like vocals in a soft and moody way. | | | This style makes Ulver totally unique in the genre of Viking Metal - come to think of it, I don't think it should be referred to as metal anymore, Epic Viking Music is more like it since there are absolutely no metal elements here what so ever. | | | But wait, this is not bad at all, infact the songs are even better then on Bergtatt and there are a lot more of them. |

| | Fortunately, Ulver are beyond the concept of molds and labels, and the album continues their chain of eclecticism in the diverse mix of artists who remixed Ulver's songs. | | | However, after all these years it's still difficult to tell exactly which scene that might be; they're as enigmatic as anyone in their approach to sound and exactly what they're trying to prove (think Coil or Throbbing Gristle). | | | As you can probably discern from the title, Norway's Ulver have been on the scene since the early '90s. |
