t. actual projecting nu-male
I know that because you like Bergtatt.
>>72878995
Most of Ulver's discography is nu-male yea, but Nattens Madrigal is unironically and genuinely one of the best pieces of raw black metal ever recorded.
>Ulver is the newest meme
>>72879051
>n-no u ;_;
The fact that so many /metal/ posters still name Dragonforce as “the greatest or most significant or most influential” power metal band ever only tells you how far power metal still is from becoming a serious art. Thrash metal critics have long recognized that the greatest thrash bands of all times are Testament and Vektor, who were not the most famous or richest or best sellers of their times, let alone of all times. Folk metal critics rank the highly controversial Primordial over other bands who were highly popular in bars around Europe. Power metal critics are still blinded by commercial success. Dragonforce sold more than anyone else (not true, by the way), therefore they must have been the greatest. Thrash metal critics grow up listening to a lot of thrash metal of the past, folk metal critics grow up listening to a lot of folk metal of the past. Power metal critics are often totally ignorant of the power metal of the past, they barely know the best sellers. No wonder they will think that Dragonforce did anything worthy of being saved.

The fact that so many /metal/ posters still name Bergtatt as “the greatest or most significant or most influential” folk/atmospheric black metal album ever only tells you how far black metal still is from becoming a serious art. Black metal critics have long recognized that the greatest black bands of all times are Tormentor and Sort Vokter, who were not the most famous or richest or best sellers of their times, let alone of all times. Folk metal critics rank the highly controversial Nattens Madrigal over other bands who were highly popular in bars around Europe. Black metal critics are still blinded by commercial success. Ulver sold more than anyone else (not true, by the way), therefore they must have been the greatest. Thrash metal critics grow up listening to the teutonic four, folk metal critics grow up listening to Skyclad and Cruachan. Black metal critics are often totally ignorant of the first wave, they barely know the best sellers. No wonder they will think that Ulver did anything worthy of being saved.

>In the realms of black metal, no album holds as much hushed reverence as Ulver's debut, henceforth known as Bergtatt.
Which sounds like a nice enough introductory sentence, if it were true. The reality is that this album has been basking in undeserved praise from philistine metal aficionados, who have mistaken it for some form of high art. What truly defines this beast is the aesthetic of black metal made palatable by interspersing it with easy listening music, e.g. the soft chanting vocals, the plaintive acoustic interludes which would be right at home in any "10 HOURS [Pagan Folk] Music to Wash Dishes To" YouTube video. The "metal" parts are so tepid, the band actually shies from the chromaticism and minor chords of its contemporaries, opting instead for suspended intervals that supposedly create tension. However, Ulver seem utterly incapable of truly committing to any emotion they attempt to convey, and this album feels less a hike in the woods than a pleasant but drab arboraceous screensaver. In many ways, this is the forerunner for the oft lambasted "hipster black metal" best exemplified by the likes of Deafheaven and Liturgy. Black metal technique is used with ubiquitous consonance and diatonicism as to not offend the ears of rock/pop listeners, then any momentum in the song is broken with interventions from extraneous genres. Much like the album cover itself, Bergtatt has all the brush strokes of fine art, but assembled into a creation that is briefly stimulating if ultimately insignficant.
>Perhaps realizing that they had failed at combining folk with black metal, Ulver would soon seek to play the two styles seperately. A wise choice, if they possessed aptitude for either genre. Their most shrewd artistic move would be to exit metal music entirely.
>>72879360
>Cattle Decapitation
Those fags shame death metal.
Death metal was about gore, murders, satanism slaughters and other non-political correct things, and then those faggots came to tell us about "muh animals pls stop eating them guys xD" and now every liberal cuck and tumblr feminist is listening to them

Coven came out last year senpai

Anyone had a listen? Opinions?
A lot of people don't know this, but Layne had a bit of a nasty white nationalist/nazi streak. The "Alice" the band name refers to has a double-meaning. It's not just a quirky Lewis Carroll reference, but also the name of a black acquaintance he had. Pretty dark when you think about it.
Now, on it's own you could shrug that off as a harmless joke, but if you do some more research things start to add up. I can't be too specific, but a friend of a friend knew these guys, and it was common for them to play drinking games based on how many times Layne would say the word "nigger" while drunk, and it usually escalated from there.
Remember that supergroup Class of 99? Probably not. They recorded one Pink Floyd cover and broke up. Some say Layne and Tom Morello didn't get along. I can only speculate as to why.
Eventually karma came back around for Layne. He died strung out on herion, a shell of a man, and AiC was happy to replace him with the first black singer they found. And the Class of 99 project found new life in the form of Audioslave. Sad, but it's not uncommon for things to end like this for racists.
Batushka put on a really cool show last night.

Best part to me is
The desolate withered tree
The faded earth, swallows me
My sorrow, she's here with me
As beautiful as only she can be

The riff in the second song is great, the rest of the album is meh.

Stop trying to make Ulver into a meme you scum.

Ulver were already a meme back in 19912
