ULVESANG - 'Ulvesang' LP (Throne Records)

Info: Ulvesang is the collective effort of three individuals sharing an interest in melancholic, naturalistic, neofolk / dark-folk music. "With their self-titled debut, Ulvesang channel the beauty of Canadian winter through acoustic passages that call to mind haunting dark folk and neoclassical atmospheres. Distant, chanted (if not hummed at times) vocals serve as an additional instrument rather than a dominant line with lyrical influence, essentially layering the cold, crisp environment that the rest of the music conjures. A heavy helping of reverb on most of the instruments allow for this to feel like a massive emptiness without cluttering up the relatively sparse and subtly arranged songs. I often find myself imagining hours have passed while listening to songs like “Taakeferd” and “Litherpoan,” as their melodies and structures are crafted in a fashion that takes the listener away from all present experiences. Ulvesang is primarily a softly played, gentle experience, but it only makes the few bursts of greater energy more invigorating when they appear. This is the perfect soundtrack for getting lost outside on a cold winter's eve, exploring in the twilight" (Black Metal & Brews). Ltd x 200 copies with stunning pagan / post-occult imagery.
