Shadows of the sun

by Ulver

supported by

ika-ika This album holds a very special place in my heart. I re-discovered it around that bittersweet moment in everyone's life when you start reflecting on your life, the purpose of existence and the inevitability of death. This album explores these themes in a very subtle and emotional way. It doesn't provide answers, just a point of view, but it's one that really speaks to me on a personal level. We're but tiny specks of dust, but we have each other. Favorite track: All the love.

Madeline v. F. As Black Metal's Byronic titans, who both defined and transformed that genre, Ulver's place in history is well-secured. Rather than resting on laurels, however, they've continued to surprise and enchant for nearly two decades since, with offerings in manifold musical styles. With the common denominator being Ulver, you can expect brooding beauty and creativity to spare. Shadows of the Sun, despite the title, seems nighttime music to me: an album for contemplation, perhaps with a nice red wine. Favorite track: Vigil.

Aldeas Meditative, inspiring, magical album Favorite track: Eos.

Was Ist Das? Simply one of my favourite albums of all time. A perfect, timeless classic. Favorite track: Eos.

Exercises in futility LP 2015

Why do people like this music? Because they hate how it carries them away? How it transfers sound into inner peace? How it is right on, as a combination of all right sounds and tempo; like a violent peace that it is? I just don’t know. FakeFur777

This album is akin to a living breathing work of art. Very few bands manage to create such cohesive and organic work. The people in this band can truly be called artists without a hesitation, in the truest senses of the word. A marvelous journey into bliss and darkness which cannot be properly expressed in words. saivo
