Background information about 'Trolsk Sortmetall 1993-1997'

This monumental compilation captures Ulver's legendary metamorphosis from their early black metal incarnation to folk acoustic mastery between 1993-1997. The Norwegian shapeshifters' complete early works showcase a band unafraid to completely reinvent themselves with each release. From the raw ferocity of "Vargnatt" through the medieval folk beauty of "Bergtatt" and "Kveldssanger", to the return to black metal brutality on "Nattens Madrigal", this collection documents one of metal's most fascinating artistic journeys.

What makes this set truly special is the inclusion of rare rehearsal material from 1994 & 1995, offering intimate glimpses into Ulver's creative process during their most transformative period. The remastered audio brings new life to these seminal recordings, while the extensive book provides crucial context through interviews with key members including Kristoffer "Garm" Rygg and collaborators from the Norwegian scene. This isn't just a retrospective - it's a complete documentation of artistic evolution that influenced countless bands across multiple genres.

For fans of: Burzum, Darkthrone, Agalloch, Alcest, Empyrium, and Borknagar
