ULVER - Nattens Madrigal - Aatte Hymne Til Ulven I Manden Deluxe-CD
Hand numbered edition of 500 copies.
From their folkish black metal beginnings, to their current post rock/electronic music experimentation, Ulver have always stood tall in the Norwegian music scenario. For a group of musicians to change so deeply and drastically, yet to be able to keep producing music that is so true to them and so utterly splendid, is something beyond extraordinary. "Nattens Madrigal" marks the end of an era for Ulver, namely their folk/black metal period, and tops it off, not without throwing in unique elements, that would distinguish the record both from those following and from those precedeing it. If "Bergtatt" was a real work of art in combining atmospheric black metal with the Norwegian folklore and folk music, and "Kveldssanger" was a pure folk album, "Nattens Madrigal" exhibits the black metal core of Ulver in its purest, rawest and most violent song, but without abandoning the folk elements that made the fortune of the previous albums.
