The follow up to 2011's acclaimed Wars of the Roses, Messe I.X - VI.X is a different entity; reverberating 2007's somber and solemn Shadows of the Sun, with the band even going as far as to say it feels like a companion piece to it. The album also echoes the early electronic experiments of EPs 'Silence Teaches You How to Sing' and 'Silencing the Singing,' and is furthermore said to invoke the ghost of an abandoned Nattens madrigal renaissance-project.

Six compositions altogether written, produced, recorded and mixed by Ulver, this time consisting of Ole Alexander Halstensgård, Kristoffer Rygg, Jørn H. Sværen and Tore Ylwizaker, with additional aid and advice from composer Martin Romberg, who also arranged the music for the 21 members of Tromsø Chamber Orchestra. The album also features the extraordinary talents of contemporary composers/musicians Ole-Henrik Moe and Kari Rønnekleiv.

The Norwegian master has evolved over the past two decades to cross an astonishing body of disciplines, taking in ambient, avant-garde, electronic, psychedelic, prog and jazz influences. Now it is the electronic, atmospheric and classical sensibilities which come to the forefront on Messe I.X - VI.X.

Stay tuned for more information on Ulver and Messe I.X - VI.X.

I like it. Ulver have always been like, deep...maaannnnn. But seriously, you can hear their age coming out in their music. It's a lot more mature musically, but not so avante garde that you want to call Bjork and give her a piece of your mind. The textures are thick, but not overbearing. They remain one of my all time faves.
