ULVER black metal

..
Black Metal Trilogie Ulver's first three albums are often classified as their "Black Metal Trilogie," although they are in fact quite diverse in musical styles, and in fact weren't all black metal, ironically. The vocals of these earlier releases are performed in archaic Danish language, with lyrics inspired by various tales of Norse mythology and folk tales.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Bergtatt - Et Eeventyr i 5 Capitler is considered to be folk-inspired black metal for its fast tempo, dry sound of electric guitar and unnatural screaming vocals intermitted with acoustic passages and clean vocals, and having a fantasy storyline (a potentially viking metal album, but possessing more general folk passages as opposed to folk music being intertwined with the black metal). The title "Bergtatt" translates directly into "Mountain taken", meaning "to be captured by the mountain" The word is often used in Norwegian folk tales, describing people who are lured to wander off into the mountains by trolls or other beings. The subtitle translates into "A Tale in Five Chapters." The central theme of this album follows a woman as she loses her way in a mountainside forest, and slowly begins to be lured deeper by mysterious beings lurking around her. Bergtatt features an all-acoustic song, Ein Stemme Locker ("A Voice Beckons"). Kristoffer “Garm” Rygg, the band's main contributor, has since said that he thought of Bergtatt as a “very traditional black metal album.” [1]

"Capitel II - Soelen gaaer bag aase need"
"Capitel III - Graablick blev hun vaer"
"Capitel IV - Een stemme locker"
"Capitel V - Bergtatt: Ind i fjelkamrene"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Kveldssanger, Ulver's second album, contrasts with Bergtatt as it uses acoustic guitar and cello with chamber chants performed by Garm, and completely eschews the traditional black metal elements of Bergtatt, while still having a folk theme. Garm has since remarked that Kveldssanger was an “immature attempt at making a classical album.”

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~The third album, Nattens Madrigal (“The Night’s Madrigal”), was a return to black metal, more ferocious than Bergtatt ever was, the only "mellow" moment being a brief acoustic interlude in the first track. The style is very raw and intentionally underproduced, akin to Darkthrone's Transilvanian Hunger album, with buzzing guitars and barely audible drums. There are rumors surrounding this album and its recording, the most famous being that the band recorded this album in a forest. Another and less-known rumor is that the band purposely recorded the album on a four-track cassette recorder and used the money that Century Media gave them for other things, for example Armani suits, haircuts, cocaine, beer, and/or a new car. These rumors have both been refuted by Kristoffer Rygg.

Lyrics
~VARGNATT~Vokt dere
Menneske og dyr
For vargene jager i natt
Bukrygget jager vi
Gjennom mørketidas endelose dager
Kulda er nadeløs
Frostøyken viser vei
Vargene jager videre
Fimbulvinteren er vart paradis
Her hersker vi
Under evig is
När Valhall..s vegger slar sprekker
Jager vargene videre
Vi er mange. og alene
Lik Odin..s tapte øye
Ragnarokk kaller
Og Yggdrasil faller
Vokt dere
Mennesker og dyr
For vargene jager i natt
