Messe I.X–VI.X

Ulver

A haunting intersection of dark ambient and modern classical. Orchestral swells and liturgical electronics create a somber, cinematic mass for the modern age.

August 1, 2013 · Kscope

A heavy, reverent sorrow that feels both ancient and urgently modern.

Moments Worth Listening For
The way the strings swell into a terrifying, dissonant wall during the opening track's climax.
Kristoffer Rygg's voice finally entering on Son of Man like a ghost appearing in a doorway.
The rhythmic, clock-like ostinato of Glamour Box that feels like a machine slowly breaking down.
