''Plus because its a metal band going full electronics we should call it drone?''

They've got some clear drone elements in their sound, you'll hear. Especially on AFHHYURGHRIGU and the split with Sunn O)))

I've tried a couple of times but couldn't get into them. What's a good one to try again with Hawks?

Oh, what a long discussion here~

First: like many others, I hope 'Drone Activity' will be more like 'ATG...', but since we're talking about Ulver it might be something total different from the others. Predict the unpredictable?

(But: if not 'ATG...', at least I hope for something similar to 'Teachings In Silence')



Getting into Sunn O))) is hard. I started with 'Black One', and hated it. Later I gave another chance, and listened 'Monoliths...', and: BOOM a 5.0 over there!

it’s gonna restream on sunday for those who missed it. comes out soon anyway. definitely changes tone/sound to a more electronic sound that’s more reminiscent of this lp. audio kept cutting out cause of bad internet on the train though. no vocals

I don’t remember seeing this before but on the house of mythology page for the album it says



“We stayed there for 90 minutes, of which 70 have been meticulously mixed and mastered for this release. All of them are new sounds. Darker and more dire, yet containing the vibe of their previous semi-improvisatory sessions, documented and catalogued on the “Zodiac” album, ATGCLVLSSCAP (2016).



If that Zodiac album was a free-form Ulver interpreting the signs in the stars, Drone Activity stares into the abyss, documenting those moments after the last rays of sun speckle the surface and careless subterranean streams start determining the course.”

I'm an old man, so I was grumpy about going on Red Bull Radio on Twitter to listen to the new Ulver.
Goddamn capitalism amirite, but it sounded pretty sweet, and it continues here (this is a service for other grumpy men): https://www.redbullradio.com/shows/on-the-floor/episodes/ulver-red-bull-music-festival-oslo?linkId=66462310
