Mortuus - De Contemplanda Morte
 
I just received this in the mail today. If you like some mid-paced black metal with extremely of dark atmosphere, check this CD out.

Ye, that Mortuus album is really good.

12 Gauge for me at least is unlistenable. I hear what sounds like high frequency static throughout the entire album, regardless of which headphones or speakers I use. Aside from that, it's just not that good. Better than the last one, but nowhere near the quality of the first three.

Listening them on Myspace, song Penetrations Of Darkness. I constantly a feeling that this sounds extremely familiar until it hit me: This sounds very much like Ondskapt, their midpaced stuff, though perhaps thats just me. Havent listened other songs yet.

I never really got into music from Venom yet and was wondering which albums are essentials. Also wondering if the remastered versions are better than the originals.

At War With Satan is their best album for me.

Definitely similar to Ondskapt. I do find them to be a bit more aggressive and harsh sounding than Mortuus.

So I just did a little research on Ulver and boy are they unique (to say the least).
 
I am assuming since I am a humongous Opeth fanboy, I would like the Black Metal Trilogy?
 
Btw, I just got Slania because of this thread and I must say, not bad, not bad at all.

Nice post, Cianyx. IM was such a good band, Rest In Peace Johnny Morrow.

I'd say if you liked what you heard already, its hard to go wrong with Ulver. The electronic stuff isn't for everyone though. They are pretty straight laced with their BM stuff, but then again they were one of the godfathers of the last wave and they were great at that. I'm more into their atmospheric, minimalist stuff. Hope you enjoy the experience.

Trogdor,
Best album from Ulver IMO is Nattens Madrigal by the way if you like a great raw black metal record

 

[129207]

Best Ulver albums are Perdition City and Bergtatt! 

 

[donunus]

I love Bergtatt too

Ulvers blackmetal stuff is good indeed. But if one is a newbie to Black Metal, I'm not sure Ulver is the best starting point to explore this music. Well, except Bergtatt album perhaps. Nattens Madrigal album sounds abrasive as hell.
 
I never liked Ulvers electronic stuff. It is a bit dissapointing that they discarded Black Metal after couple of albums only.

Listening to perdition city again and even though its not metal, Its still good.
