{"product_id":"ulver_vargnatt_2023_pia","title":"Vargnatt","description":"THE CLASSIC ‘VARGNATT’ 1993 DEMO FROM THE NORWEGIAN LEGENDS, MARKING 30 YEARS SINCE RELEASE. PRESENTED ON LIMITED OXBLOOD VINYL, INCLUDING EXTRA TRACK. Norwegian act Ulver rose to prominence from a blacker metal-rooted background in their early years, to becoming widely known for high-calibre soundscapes \u0026 exquisite experimental \u0026 electronic art as part of their continual \u0026 ever-shifting evolution. With a penchant for folklore-laced black metal in their formative years \u0026 with what could be considered even then to be eclectic \u0026 unconventional compositions compared to the more raw \u0026 primitive offerings from other arising acts in the scene at the time, Ulver made a big mark on the genre since their formation in the early 90’s, spawning a unique \u0026 celebrated trilogy of early works which arrived in quick succession, starting with their monumental 1995 debut, ‘Bergtatt’, before the more serene acoustic-driven experience of ‘Kveldssanger’ the following year \u0026 completed by the more feral \u0026 ferocious outpouring of ‘Nattens Madrigal’ in 1997. Before this much revered trilogy, though, came 1993’s ‘Vargnatt’. This was Ulver’s first foray into the wilds \u0026 an exceptional debut demo, utilising what was to become a staple acoustic guitar implementation amid melodic \u0026 often complex \u0026 obtuse arrangements, conjured \u0026 delivered with an already advanced degree of musicianship, with vocals appearing courtesy of longstanding frontman Kristoffer “Garm” Rygg. This early incarnation of Ulver also notably featured Carl-Michael Eide of Aura Noir\/Ved Buens Ende fame on drums, plus this recording featured Robin “Mean” Malmberg on bass guitar, from fellow Norwegian pioneers Mysticum. This edition of ‘Vargnatt’ marks 30 years since its original release \u0026 is presented on limited oxblood coloured vinyl. The audio itself is sourced from the original DAT, plus this release contains the bonus track ‘Vargnatt’, captured live at Bootleg TV in Oslo, 1993 \u0026 sourced from the original U-Matic, courtesy of the National Library of Norway.","brand":"Ulver","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55304365703512,"sku":null,"price":23969478.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0898\/4943\/0360\/files\/0801056810113_7d416a82-b1da-4856-bb5c-6abefe49f920.jpg?v=1772661228","url":"https:\/\/vinyles.com\/en-us\/products\/ulver_vargnatt_2023_pia","provider":"Vinyles.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
