In the 1990's, the Norwegian band Ulver was considered to be one of the most extreme black metal groups. These days the group's sound is explained as a "low-key, dark and tragic" one and with the upcoming release of their seventh studio album ??Shadows of the Sun?? (Jester) it's apparent the band has come a long way from their angst filled black metal days. Still, the group is commonly dubbed ...

Another post about Ulver. It's way past midnight but my brain is still working. I am listenning right now to Nattens madrigal and I remember that when I first heard it, I thought it was one of the most frightenning album I'd ever heard.
