I know most people ,ncluding myself, really love old Ulver.. but I must say I like their new stuff as well.
Blood Inside was a very unique listen; almost a like a trip in itself.
Never really spun Shadows of the Sun too much but have been this past week. Very mellow album, perfect for the overcast we've had the past 5 days.
Excellent atmosphere and mellow attitude. This band never ceases to amaze me, no matter what phase they're in.
Anyone else like this album?

I like it but I am in GRAVESIDESERVICE so my opinion doesn't matter.

I like it but not as much as blood inside. I enjoy all ulver stuff

One of the former producers of King Crimson help produce Blood Inside. Still Faggotry?

but wait, I know you don't like Cynic, so I'm assuming you don't like Gordian Knot. Bill Bruford drummed on half of their newer album.
Robert Fripp, although the only permanent member of KC, is the only one that's still respectable right?

I liked Blood Inside a lot but I think SOTS is just a whole different animal. There's so many things about this album that just grab me, like the production and the amazing vocals. Definitely deserved to be in the albums of the year list.

Ulver rules, old and new. My favorite will always be Bergtatt, and Perdition City is awesome while getting it on with a chick.

Perdition City, what an album.

Blood inside is one of those albums you bring to play on a car ride and enjoy all the atmosphere it produces while observing life.

Everything by Ulver kicks ass. Shadows of the Sun is incredible. Check out the movie "Uno." Ulver teamed up with some other guy to do the soundtrack. The song EOS, track 1 on SOTS is in that movie. Another good soundtrack they did is Svidd Neger.

And Conservationist is right. Whenever someone plays Blood Inside, a dude fucks another dude up the ass.

I'm not huge one Blood Inside in its entirety, but I think Dressed in Black is probably one of the most intense and emotional songs they've ever put out. Every time I hear the ending build up, it makes me wish the world was ending.

Eos is a killer fucking song.

Love this album. Real depressing stuff.

Pretty much dig everything I've heard (i.e., most of it), except for Metamorphosis. Little too dance-y. Listen to Lykantropen Themes on the regular, love that shit.

Such a good song to start the album with. This is seriously one of my favorite Ulver releases, old or new.

everything ulver has put out is brilliant. as far as the newer shit goes i probably dig sots and the taste of melancholy ep the most.

this album is terrible

Blood Inside is miles better. SoTS is good, but it blew by me to be honest. :/

I love it. It's totally fucking gay like all Ulver albums.

Bump. TIME FOR A NEW ALBUM PLZ

New Ulver Album - 2011

Nice. Did they post an estimated release date or did I miss that?

I like it. Took me about 2 years to get it but I get it now.

Ulver is one of the best bands on the planet. They keep evolving, getting better, trying new ideas.
[Jan 24,2011 6:44pm - arilliusbm ""]
I wouldn't argue "getting better"
Different lineups, essentially. Different outlook and approach, but experimental in every regard. Stretching boundaries and trying new ideas. Never really lost respect for anything Ulver has done, other than when Garm changed his name to Trickster G. GTFO
[Jan 24,2011 6:51pm - burnsy ""]
No release date other than the 2011.

Also, lulz at prince threatening to sue when ulver and other bands were trying to put together a tribute to prince.

Perdition city is my favorite of the "new ulver" I never really like blood inside that much but i kind of got it after a really long time. Liked shadows of the sun...The latest album doesnt do anything for me although.
[Oct 23,2011 5:44am - frankovhell ""]
I'd rather listen to Bohren und der club of Gore when im in that weird mood these days.

Everything Ulver has ever done is incredible. Everything Garm has done is incredible. Personal favorites: Bergtatt, Kveldssanger, Blood Inside, A Quick Fix of Melancholy, Perdition City (in ya ass, in the rain) and A Marriage of Heaven & Hell.

For sure. Throwing heroin and your veins into that mix as well.

Shadows of the sun is definitely up there as one of my favorite Ulver albums. Non-stop gloom.
