Ulver is a genre-spanning group from Norway, active since 1993. They have undergone significant musical transformations throughout their career. Initially known for playing black/folk metal on their demos and first album, "Bergtatt," Ulver then released the entirely acoustic folk album "Kveldssanger" in 1996. The following year, they returned to their roots with the raw and aggressive black metal sound of "Nattens Madrigal." However, around 1998, Ulver began exploring experimental, electronic, and avant-garde music.

Since 2000, the core members of Ulver have been Kristoffer Rygg, Tore Ylwizaker, and Jørn H. Sværen. They frequently collaborate with various musicians on their albums to fulfill the creative vision of each project. The name "Ulver" translates to "Wolves" in Norwegian.

If you enjoy artists such as Arcturus, Ihsahn, Dødheimsgard, Sigh or Borknagar among others listed below*, you will find Ulver's diverse discography captivating and innovative.

Peaceville is an English label founded by Paul Halmshaw, also known as Hammy, in 1987. The label primarily focuses on metal music and has gained a reputation for its high-quality releases. In 2000, Peaceville was sold to Snapper Music but continues to thrive under their ownership.

Throughout its history, Peaceville has used various catalog number formats to distinguish different types of releases. From 1987 to 1995, the label used "VILE ### T" for 12-inch singles, maxis, and EPs; "VILE ###" for LPs; and "VILE ### P" for picture LPs. From 1987 to 2002, CD releases were labeled as "CDVILE### / VILE ### CD," while MCDs/singles/EPs were labeled as "CDMVILE### / VILE ### TCD." Limited CDs were marked with "CDXVILE###."

In later years, Peaceville introduced new catalog number formats such as "CC#" for the Collectors Club series of 7-inch records in 1993-1994. Re-issued CDs with slipcases from 1999 onwards are labeled as "CDVILEM###." Since 2002, CDs have been designated as "CDVILEF###," limited CDs as "CDVILEF###X," MCDs/singles/EPs as "CD

Themes from William Blake's The Marriage of Heaven and Hell is the fourth studio album by Norwegian experimentalists Ulver. Having been known for their more folklore-tinged black metal compositions on early studio releases, in late 1997, mainman Kristoffer Rygg invited keyboardist, sound conceptualist, and composer Tore Ylwizaker into the collective, and together they devised a plan for The Blake Album; an altogether far more adventurous endeavour than prior releases. What resulted was a seamless integration of electronic &amp; industrial music, with elements of progressive metal &amp; avantgarde rock, all fused with ambient passages, &amp; following Blake's plates as track indexes. A work of deep and personal art, the album, while initially surprising to fans due to its complete shift in genre, has become a classic today, and a prime example of the boundary-pushing evolution beyond the confines of genre expectations through the latter part of the 90's. Upon release, The Marriage of Heaven &amp; Hell received widespread acclaim from critics within the rock, metal &amp; alternative music press, being awarded Album of the Month in several high-profile magazines such as Terrorizer, Metal Hammer, and Rock Hard. The album notably includes guest vocal appearances from Darkthrone's Fenriz, as well as Ihsahn &amp; Samoth; most known for their work in Emperor. This newly remastered edition of 'The Marriage of Heaven &amp; Hell' is presented on 2CD deluxe digipack format, including full lyrics/text, plus a new article from writer and journalist Jeff Wagner on the background, nature &amp; triumph of such an ambitious release.
