ULVER Shadows Of The Sun CD

By 2007, Ulver had already lived several lives. Black metal provocateurs, folk experimentalists, electronica heretics. Shadows of the Sun is where they arrived somewhere genuinely difficult to name.

This is ambient, orchestral, post-everything. Covers of Tim Buckley and Black Sabbath sit alongside originals that drift like smoke through a room you're not sure you want to leave. Garm's vocals are barely there and completely present. It's not metal in any conventional sense anymore, which is exactly why it matters. For anyone who got into the Norwegian underground and kept following the thread past where most people stopped, this is the record waiting at the end of that thread. Essential for anyone who takes dark, experimental music seriously rather than just aesthetically.
