Messe bby - such a smooth collab and one of the least overblown things in their discog (love Garm, but he doesn't know when to keep the kitsch in line sometimes)

This is definitely my favorite of their post bm era. They're kinda losing me with their most recent stuff. Not bad music just not my thing

Better than Blood Inside and War of the Roses, agreed.

Roses has island which is one of their best songs but it is a bit inconsistent on the whole. Blood inside is very overlooked. Blinded by blood is top 5 ulver

Agreed Gyro



First half of Blood Inside is amazing, and the rest is pretty good

Revisiting this and I don’t understand the praise it gets. The instrumental elements are generally nice enough, but the vox are middling and the lyrics are truly awful.

It honestly might be better without any vocals at all.

it has their best atmosphere, music, and the lyrics are pretty good in many places tbh. don't know what the issue with the vox is. they fit they music perfectly and there are some great moments (vigil especially)

I don’t know, there’s just plenty of other things I’d rather listen to if I wanted atmospheric ambience. I’m not an expert on their discog as a whole, so not necessarily comparing it to their other work (but as far as Ulver goes I remember preferring Perdition City).
