In my opinion, the pinnacle of the black metal genre.

All those black metal bands with intentionally shitty production for the sake of "atmosphere" desperately wish that they could duplicate the sound Ulver created on this album, but I'm pretty sure nobody ever will. I can only dream of one day being able to make the black metal shriek sound as fierce and passionate as Garm does on here. - Thu, 15 Feb 2007 12:29am

I'd love to hear more Ulver-esque BM though... Dark Medieval Times is of course a total classic, and lately I've been pretty impressed with Taake, Wolves in the Throne Room, early Borknagar (who are admittedly pretty obvious given Garm's mutual membership) and of course Victoria's own Asane... but beyond that I don't really know many comparable bands. - Sun, 18 Feb 2007 9:50pm

You may have 'heard' of those bands but maybe you should actually give those titles a listen instead of whining about someone trying to recommend some Black Metal (you'd really really enjoy listening to). I doubt youve heard Dark Medieval Times or Lunar Poetry. - Tue, 20 Feb 2007 7:18pm

ive probably heard Dark Medieval Times and lunar poetry at some point in my life. im not whining, your just trying to sound smart but in reality you've probably heard less shit then me.

AND NO IM NOT TRYING TO BE ELITIST im not like that at all.
but i know so many people that are obsessed about BM that ive probably heard a lot more then you.

no i dont think im better then you at all im just saying dont assume things - Tue, 20 Feb 2007 8:54pm Edited: Tue, 20 Feb 2007 9:04pm

Where did I say that I am teh black metal elite tr00 kvlt satan worshipper, I didnt. I simply was wondering what was wrong with recommending you some other unique black metal since you made it seem as though you havent heard enough great black metal to get into it. - Tue, 20 Feb 2007 9:26pm

Alright, I'm glad we've managed to turn yet another thread into a stupid flame war.

Jeff, you're hardly one to be breaking out into black metal elitism. Who gives a fuck if the kid hasn't heard many obscure bands? I was once at the point where I just worshipped Ulver, Emperor and Satyricon without really bothering with the rest of the genre, and it's not like your knowledge of the genre really extends beyond its core bands at all. I mean I don't give a fuck how much you know about black metal, I just don't think that you should be ridiculing someone who probably knows about the same amount as you over not knowing any obscure bands.

PS - Remember like a month ago when I mentioned Nokturnal Mortum and you said you weren't familliar with them? Not so kvlt now, are we? - Wed, 21 Feb 2007 1:52pm Edited: Wed, 21 Feb 2007 1:56pm

I pointed that out only because "OMG U ONLY KNO EMPEROR SATYRICON AND DIMMU BORGIR U FAG" is more the kind of response I would expect from some kind of obnoxious black metal fanboy than from you... And I pointed out Nokturnal Mortum because depsite your accusastions that all the bands he mentioned are really obvious, I knew for a fact that you didn't even know one of them.

Anyway, Ulver are pretty good aren't they? - Wed, 21 Feb 2007 11:11pm

If more x-mas music sounded like that track I would probably enjoy it considerably more as a holiday. - Thu, 22 Feb 2007 10:51am
