ULVER - VINYL THEMES FROM WILLIAM... [VINYL]

Popis - THEMES FROM WILLIAM... [VINYL]:
...Of Heaven And Hell'. 2LP. 'Themes From William Blake's The Marriage Of Heaven And Hell', originally released in 1998, was different from what Ulver had made before. Tore Ylwizaker, a new composer and sound architect, added to Garm's expanding artistic visions, and together they stepped over the boundaries of black metal aesthetics, creating a genre-defying work. In this album, the musicians blended electronics, industrial music elements, progressive metal and avant-garde rock, adding ambient passages. Lyrically, the album incorporates the entire text of William Blake's 'The Marriage Of Heaven And Hell', and relies on guest vocals. Despite confounding and perhaps alienating many fans of the band's first three albums, the album received widespread acclaim from critics within both the rock/metal and alternative music press. For instance, it was reviewed as album of the month in several high-profile magazines such as Terrorizer, Metal Hammer, and Rock Hard. It also ranked very high at many years best polls that same year. Edition of 1000 copies.
