A beautifully minimalist release from Ulver. "Eos" and "All the Love" are two of my favourite songs of all time. Gorgeous production, excellent vocals from Garm, and even the Black Sabbath cover works. The last two tracks could have used more oomph, though.

Considering the overall subtlety of the release, Shadows of the Sun doesn't seem like an album you could experience easily at first. Real talk, that lingering ambience and the dreadfully gorgeous atmosphere can be enough to exhaust those who are expecting harsh, punishing sounds alongside gonzo experimentation alone. But as anyone might notice, Ulver manage to pull this style off tremendously with nary a cringeworthy moment in tow. Frontman Kristoffer "Garm" Rygg's striking vocal melodies never quite come equipped with flaws, and the musicianship is fairly subdued and suit the musical direction of this album. This release is like a painted portrait which can only be crafted every once in a blue moon.

Truly magnificent ambient, the emotive atmosphere is damn powerful that will make you cry. The best Ulver album. Period.

Extremely peaceful to the sound and very easy on the ears. All of the songs flow very smooth together including the Black Sabbath cover.

Don't try to examine this album like a textbook. Just pop it in, close your eyes, and simply let the music pass through your body...

Dark, peaceful melodies mixed with a truly unique and astounding voice, this is by far Ulver's best non-metal album. While their latest albums come close to this, Shadows of the Sun wins by a nudge.
