If one thing has come out of the 'Top 5 Songs of All Time' thread (and subsequent playlist, thanks Puppies) it's got me to delve deeper into bands that I've been sleeping on for a while. One of these is Ulver!
I'd already heard TAoJS a few times, when it came out, and I also checked out their latest, last year (didn't do a great deal, but I'll revisit). I also checked out Shadows of the Sun at some point over the last few years and ended up downloading it. It's the only album, until this week, that I'd liked enough to stick on my ipod.
So the Top 5 Songs thread chucked the song Porn Piece or the Scars of Cold Kisses, from Perdition City my way. Definitely something that resonated with me and inspired me to dig a little deeper. I've listened through Perdition City three times this week and then went ahead and downloaded Blood Inside as well (as I've heard good things).
Currently working my way through their discography, starting with the trio of Black Metal albums, and you know what, I'm pleasantly surprised! Currently listening to Bergtatt and it's not bad. I'm hardly a fan of old school black metal, and prefer when it is spliced with genres like Progressive Metal or Shoegaze, but this has some string sections and clean vocals. Not what I expected but I'd listen again.
Onwards to Kveldssanger next
