Litt magisk hva de fikk til med remastringa av denne demoen. Nå er det faktisk ikke så verst å høre på! Hørte utrolig mye på den før i tiden. Ulver er noe helt spesielt.
Ulver have just released The Assassination of Julius Caesar on "Sparkle Universe" vinyl and it's beautiful

I quite enjoyed this album I just discovered by #Soma from 1998. Soma was a short-lived project between #DavidThrusell (from #Snog) and #PieterBourke of #DeadCanDance.
An intriguing combination of ethnosounds, #darkAmbient, jazz and a lot of other elements. Deep soundscapes paint an intriguing story. Maybe another one for those who like Perdition City era of #Ulver?

Aspaarn – Oblations in Atrocity Review
By Dear Hollow
Shockingly, raw black metal isn’t really known for its accessibility. Its cult utilizes the most discordant of black metal’s already discordant approaches, but its worshipers may notice the range of barbed noise to cloaks of fuzz that populate lo-fi productions. Switzerland’s one-man raw black show Aspaarn utilizes both clarity and opacity alike to cast shadows of a dark wilderness worthy of its cover, with just enough reverb to lend a ghostly presence wandering amid the thickets and pines. While the stereotype lands in moonlit purple castles and catacombs of dust and shadows, there’s a distinctly wild and uncharted feeling about Aspaarn.
The phrase “raw black” doesn’t always wrap up neatly in a Nattens Madrigal-shaped box, and Aspaarn’s sound reflects this complexity. While reveling in that classic barbed clarity of Ildjarn, its ghostly haze recalls the likes of Revenant Marquis, adding to the disorientation. It ultimately ends up sounding a bit like Kryatjurr of Desert Ahd or El-Ahrairah: classically bleak and morbid black metal chord progressions wildly transfigured into a psychedelic and otherworldly visage. Composed of multi-instrumentalist Solaris Lupus, also of the likeminded Lord Valtgryftåke and Svartokunnighet, the Aspaarn project’s fourth full-length Oblations in Atrocity oscillates between second-wave frigid rawness and atmospheric wherewithal that never forsakes its teeth.
In spite of the genre of choice, Aspaarn’s instrumental attack is surprisingly clear, and Lupus’ grasp on songwriting is very firm. Layers of tremolo and bass lead the attack, with the inherent dissonance and minor keys giving Oblations in Atrocity a disorienting feeling (“Duty in Hecatomb,” “Boundless Hunger”), further emphasized by shifting tempos and rhythms, often taking a mad waltz reminiscent of Grave Pilgrim. Drums anchor this sound with precision and reliability, but a sharper trash-can-lid snare graces it a nimbleness that adds a distinct insanity to it as well (“The Order of Fear,” “Memories in Suffering”). Chord progressions are the backbone of every track and are directly rooted in classic Darkthrone’s permafrost soil, allowing its morbid and morose atmosphere to shine in the best possible way. The balance between clarity and opacity is key, as rawness and noise can tend to overwhelm basic musical movement, but Aspaarn’s deft hand manages to keep it surprisingly restrained.
While clarity adds that kvlt intensity and relentless attack, the tools guiding opacity in Oblations in Atrocity give it its supernatural lean. Vocals are most obvious right off the bat, with Lupus’ shrieks and roars cloaked in a thick veil of reverb, giving it a far more haunting feeling than many raw black metal stereotypes. When clean vocals are utilized, they take on a choral quality, nearly liturgical, driving home the album’s blasphemous atmosphere (“Silence of the Gods,” “All Reaching Misery”). One thing that puts Aspaarn in distinction is its ability to sound atmospheric without an overreliance on synths or keys, like genre greats Paysage d’Hiver or Lunar Aurora. In fact, there are very few obvious occurrences of “ambient” vestiges apart from the closer, which just drives home the second-wave worship that pervades Oblations in Atrocity.
For all the balance and atmospheric prowess Aspaarn offers with Oblations in Atrocity, it remains raw black metal, a particularly divisive and unfriendly take on an already divisive and unfriendly style. The vocals, while contributing to the otherworldly and supernatural feel in ways I saw as a clear highlight, are quite loud and can overwhelm the sound. The jarring tempo and rhythm changes, guided by the feral drumming, are an acquired taste but ultimately guide the labyrinthine panic and uncharted wilderness that course through the album. The first half of closer “All Reaching Misery” feels painfully directionless until the atmospheric passages give them purpose. What can I say, it’s raw black metal. Ultimately, Aspaarn has created an album that won’t change your mind about the style, but offers treats and bounties aplenty for those who like their music more with a generous side of pain.

'Bergtatt' fyller 30 år i år! Ett av mine absolutte favorittalbum.
Husker ikke når jeg hørte de første gang, men jeg husker hva jeg følte, og jeg får den samme følelsen fortsatt. Hva ER dette for noe? Det er snø, skog, mosegrodde steiner, kvister og bark, og klukkende bekker under isen. Gåsehud hver gang. Ikonisk.
Kommer aldri over at de var 17 år da lagde dette.
On 01 February 1995, Ulver released their genre-bending debut 'Bergtatt' as the first part of their classic 'The Trilogie', rejecting the standards set by Black Metal bands before them.
Mixing Black Metal with acoustics, reverb and beautiful, melancholic songwriting, and refraining from Satanism in lyrics and imagery.
Only Ulver were there when it all went down; "outsiders to a scene of outsiders".

Love this…. Been listening to #ulver since they made black metal. There were some ups and downs but this is last album amazing again.

Ulver's new album is finally here!

I love the way they released each song as it was completed until the whole album was done. There have been some absolute bangers this year, like Hollywood Babylon and Forgive Us.
#Ulver chyba wreszcie się wytoczył z pełnym albumem - inna konwencja okładki wskazywałaby, że już nie będzie "uzupełniania". Tym samym "Liminal Animals" bez dwóch zdań wjeżdżają do mojego topu roku.
New Ulver album today… they’ve been releasing new songs all year, but I think this is supposed to be the full length. Not sure if their plan worked for me. I’m less hyped because I heard most of the songs before. The surprise of the album is gone.
