For anyone not Norwegian who are wondering what they are singing: 1-East of the sun and west of the moon: [Wiki:East of the sun and west of the moon] "East of the sun and west of the moon, you will never reach. To the end of the world we are headed. 2-Word: "The one who has not seen the night should not promise to walk in darkness" Directly translated: Not should those promise to walk in darkness who has not seen the night. 9.Dressed in the colors of the night: "Do you know more than "Hallowed be thy name"? Do you cast no shadow? Then you have signed your soul away... and will for all time... have one with curled horns... who watches you from the shadow, (second voice)who sees you/looks uppon you." 11. Raid/A great travel in life [Usual once or twice in life for Odins followers in year 0-1000] Blindly i go Do not lead me home Let the night carry me Always forth 13. Ulvsblakk (means the color of a wolf(Dark grey/black)) Do you hallucinate(in the dark)? Can you see the sun vanishing? (quiet) And one saw... Unusually beautifull is the nightjar In colors of the wolf it streaks through the air in the night Do you hallucinate(in the dark)? Can you see the vindfall?[A tree ripped up with roots by a storm] (quiet) And one saw... Unusually beautifull is the spirit/wight Twilight it is, where in the colors of the wolf, it moves It is dark now Tora screams out loud.

Nevemind, finally found the correct original lyrics. Not archaic Danish, but Nynorsk/dialectal: Har du synen? Kan du se at sola som svinn? Og ein så... Nauvakker er kveldknarren Ulvsblakk den gjennom luften I natten farar Har du synen? Kan du se at vindfall? Og ein så...

25 years back we listened to this album at our D&D sessions a lot. After that time I lost contact to Ulver and their music. 5 years ago I went on a trip to norway and luckily discovered a "hidden" artist area with a concert hall and there was a poster for an Ulver concert coming up. To bad I left Oslo a few days before that concert. But with that discovery I started looking for what Ulver had made in the last years and I was absolut flashed by their music. Now I'm sitting here with my new born son and we're enjoying this album a lot. Me still and my son for his first time. Thank you Ulver!
So here you are bragging about how you used to be a D&D nerd but now you have a newborn son, as if you're saying to all the other nerds out there, "Ha ha, I actually touched a woman and had a kid with her, but you nerds will never be able to do that!" You make me sick.
I had the opposite experience. I am really into gothy 80's synth, electronica etc. And I got into Ulver via Assassination of Julius Cæsar. I started to look into them after listening to that album and was surprised to see they had black metal roots.
You may be Norwegian, in which case this is not necessary, but if you are not. Translation: 09.Dressed in the colors of the night: "Do you know more than "Hallowed be thy name"? Do you cast no shadow? Then you have signed your soul away... and will for all time... have one with curled horns... who watches you, from the shadow, (second voice)who sees you." Guitar solo
This record brings back a lot of feelings. I used to listen to it in a time in which my health was at an all time low. And a serious relationship with someone I really loved was ending. It was a rough time. Now I am much better and I realize how much I have grown. It is beautiful how certain music can bring back feelings such as these ones and give peace and closure. Cheers everyone! Especially the ones that are on a bad path. Look up because things do get better.
Im in that situation right now... can't listen to certain songs and so I browse YT in serach for something else... came across this record. Also your comment made me feel less alone with my pain. Hope you are doing fine.
A great collection of songs from a time that gave us some of the best and most defying Black Metal masterpieces that set the standards of what was to come.
I can recall coming across Ulver since I was a child (10-12) Bergatt, Kveldssanger, Nattens Madrigal (original 3 albums) were always my favorite! They all bring back so many memories, how time has flown.... Pure love and respect for Garm!
I remember having listened to this amazing work while being on board of a vessel... Sunset at the distance and sharing a beer with the captain: just conversation with a maginificent background music!
why not warcraft? i guess the warcraft world is like candyland compared to elder scrolls, but i can still see someone getting lost in their grinding while listening to this. But I listened to Biggie when I played WoW so what do I know...
What is this cold and warm feeling that runs through me every time I hear this beautiful piece of music? What is this reverie? I am Latinamerican, but when I hear Kveldssanger, I feel that I am standing on a summit of the Nord-Norge.
the first 40 seconds took me on some next journey rowing through frozen fjords pondering my own mortality. Simply beautiful, so glad I've finally found out about these guys
Han pasado más de 25 años desde que este lp llego a mi encuentro. Hoy ya cerca de los 60 años, en Chile luchando por el Apruebo y disfrutando el escuchar a mis sobrinos tocar en sus guitarras temas de esta obra maestra....
gran aporte, obra magna del folclore y black metal, en este disco totalmente acustico y con una hermosisima atmosfera, ulver encarna ese espiritu y coneccion que tenemos muy a dentro nuestro con el universo y los arquetipos que todos percibimos o sentimos si saber que son o como describirlos, saludos desde puerto aysen chile abrazo.
Just came back to this beauty, after many years. I fell in love with this record back in 1995, and it still sounds as brilliant 25 years later. Fantastic!
This album was my entrance to dark/neofolk. When i first listened to this i didn't even know that this kind of music exists. Changed my whole way of listening to music! Love it :)
All these years I never made the connection between Halling (a typical norwegian dance) and the second piece from Grieg's Symfoniske Danser Op 64. It's a lovely tribute.
When I heard "Capitel IV: Een Stemme Locker" on Bergtatt, I never thought that out of all the five songs that have a mixture of atmospheric folk music and black metal, that song broke away into a simple dark folk song. Now this album has expanded even more of what it represents beautifully.
Similar Music (at least in feeling if not composition): (Artist - Album) Musk Ox - Woodfall October Falls - Marras, Kaarna, Sarastus Empyrium - Where at night the wood grouse plays Agalloch - The White Any others...?

I love black metal with a burning passion. recently picked up lords of chaos and have decided to listen to each album mentioned. so glad I did. and honestly I haven't got a clue as to why I never really gave ulver a good listen. this is just a masterpiece that reminicess my love for atmosphere in music such as anthems to the welkin at dusk one of my personal favorite albums of all times but shines it completely differently.
Esse álbum é maravilhoso. O Ulver me faz gostar de músicas assim Dark Folk, Neo Folk. E olhe que eu conheci a banda há alguns anos atrás como um som totalmente diferente, com uma vertente mais eletrônica, trip hop. Mas quando escutei esse álbum me apaixonei.
@@princesacaroco8816 Até as coisas mais modernas do Ulver (que não é mais definitivamente esse Ulver) são maravilhosas também, covers fantásticos. Mas, com o Håvard Jørgensen era genial demais.

[Evil laughter changes the narrative to the underworld]
Daylight we abhore/daylight we shy away from
[Spirits whisper as they vanish]
The colors of the wolf, are we...
thanks so much.
Do you have the Danish ones? All of the original lyrics on the internet for Ulvsblakk are incomplete.
Nevemind, finally found the correct original lyrics. Not archaic Danish, but Nynorsk/dialectal:
Har du synen?
Kan du se at sola som svinn?
Og ein så...
Nauvakker er kveldknarren
Ulvsblakk den gjennom luften
I natten farar
Har du synen?
Kan du se at vindfall?

Av dag ein kvammes
For ulvsblakk er me.
*FUCK NORWAY*
*HOW BOU DA*
Thank you!
No drums, no distortion, no screams but absolutely powerful...
@vaguelyhuman No, never, it is incomparable, do not exaggerate.
Lmao how do people bring up classical music in a video of neo-folk from a black metal/electronic band
It's metal in meaning

best comment..ever
Thank you for your kind word.
They mean a lot.
WanderingGhost77 Praise Odin
***** Why on earth would you think that?
***** yeah i'm also curious how that offended you?
I took a risk and ordered a physical copy of this on Amazon before hearing it. Now I'm hearing it. Didn't go wrong
This never gets old..🎩
I think this might be my favorite Ulver album...
"Think"? "Might"? :D
Either this or Bergtatt.
Ro man Wolf and fear !
This and Bergtatt are equally good in different ways.
This album taught me how to play a proper guitar. I actually had this on CD, listened to it on my discman while playing along on my guitar.
Reminds me a lot of Opeth's Morningrise at times... Truly beautiful. Thank you Ulver and the Internet!
I hear that too. Early Opeth definitely shares sonic qualities to this in their acoustic passages.
Yesssss I always think the very same thing... I can't find anything else that makes me feel like these two records
Can't get enough of this album, especially Kledt i Nattens Farger.
I can recall coming across Ulver since I was a child (10-12) Bergatt, Kveldssanger, Nattens Madrigal (original 3 albums) were always my favorite! They all bring back so many memories, how time has flown.... Pure love and respect for Garm!
This is the most beautiful album I have ever heard
I remember having listened to this amazing work while being on board of a vessel... Sunset at the distance and sharing a beer with the captain: just conversation with a maginificent background music!
Nobody cares.
this is basically tavern music for black metal mmorpg's
+Ethan Sutton now we just need the black metal mmo...
ChoirofWolves Legion is gonna' be pretty metal. Demons and hell is pretty black metal!
That'd be great in Diablo 4
+Hüseyin İşciler half is great for elder scrolls and the other half is good for diablo haha
why not warcraft? i guess the warcraft world is like candyland compared to elder scrolls, but i can still see someone getting lost in their grinding while listening to this. But I listened to Biggie when I played WoW so what do I know...

Hahahahah
Good on you man
best ulver album of all times
Musica excelente pra leitura, meditação, enfim pra tudo música maravilhosa
Just got it on vinyl! I love ulver
O melhor disco deles, o meu preferido e o que me traz mais sentimentos. Ulver é genial.

Супер альбом , храню на кассете с 1997года.
Très poétique...
2023 y aqui estamos , siempre .
I remember reading that the band felt this to be there least favorite album. It has always been one of my favorites of theirs right behind Bergtatt.
The flaws must be obvious and overpowering considering how long ago it was made.
@@thisguydud3 That's what makes it good. All of the electronic crap they've done since this is infinitely worse.
A from start to finish flawless piece of sonic art
NATTENS MADRIGAL resonates to the core with whatever I have in that place in where a soul should be, but this is just too beautiful to ignore.
Just came back to this beauty, after many years. I fell in love with this record back in 1995, and it still sounds as brilliant 25 years later. Fantastic!

This album inspires me to develop my fingerpicking playing.Thank you Ulver
I wish i can listen Kveldssang live and longer version...

Gran álbum, de principio a fin.
soo great album , so beautiful piece of art ... im hypnotised
Is this... black metal impressionism? Beautiful. :_)
Beautiful. Powerful.
All these years I never made the connection between Halling (a typical norwegian dance) and the second piece from Grieg's Symfoniske Danser Op 64. It's a lovely tribute.
I came here after listening to The Assasination Of Julius Cesar and I genuinely think they might be one of my new favourite bands. Holy fucknuts
I ❤️ Ulver and their beautiful dark music 💙💙
When I heard "Capitel IV: Een Stemme Locker" on Bergtatt, I never thought that out of all the five songs that have a mixture of atmospheric folk music and black metal, that song broke away into a simple dark folk song. Now this album has expanded even more of what it represents beautifully.

MisterSquirtle No problem. And nice pic of Jari btw.
Soul comforting music.

i love this album so much. why can't it be longer :(
So that it makes you play it again and again ))
Its shortness is part of its beauty ;)
What a classic
Just found out about these guys, holy shit, epic! How have I not heard of this before, its like Opeth acoustic parts but MORE!!
i am going through the EXACT feeling
amazing album
AMAZING!!!!!! just remember me to agustin pio barrios mangore
Insane band composed this when all of them were still teenagers.
a master piece !!
I remember when this one was released back then but I ordered Fleurety´s ´95 Min tid skal komme and VBE´s ´95 Written in waters. By now(july/22) I enjoyed their different "approach/arrangements"
amazingly beautiful
A masterpiece...
In my opinion this is their best.
I really love ❤
Beautiful!
This really is a wonderful album, even if the band considers it amateurish. I've heard rumors of them remaking this album, considering how amazing their remakes/remixes of nattleite have been, I'd love to hear it.
Beautiful metal music, love the acoustic guitars, a great album all around
Not to mention they were just kids when they wrote it and Garm is actually pretty humble when he refers to it as "pseudo neo classical" or something...However, he has proved time and time again he is a superlative creative force
That's not humble. He's basically saying "I didn't know what I was doing back then, but now I'm a musical genius!"
This sounds so beautiful and melancholic. I love it. Any other albums or bands like this?
listening to this while playing everquest...feels sad
