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

THE CLASSIC 'VARGNATT' 1993 DEMO FROM THE NORWEGIAN LEGENDS, MARKING 30 YEARS SINCE RELEASE, INCLUDING EXTRA TRACK.Norwegian act Ulver rose to prominence from a blacker metal-rooted background in their early years, to becoming widely known for high-calibre soundscapes & exquisite experimental & electronic art as part of their continual & ever-shifting evolution.With a penchant for folklore-laced black metal in their formative years & with what could be considered even then to be eclectic & unconventional compositions compared to the more raw & primitive offerings from other arising acts in the scene at the time, Ulver made a big mark on the genre since their formation in the early 90's, spawning a unique & celebrated trilogy of early works which arrived in quick succession, starting with their monumental 1995 debut, 'Bergtatt', before the more serene acoustic-driven experience of 'Kveldssanger' the following year & completed by the more feral & ferocious outpouring of 'Nattens Madrigal' in 1997.Before this much revered trilogy, though, came 1993's 'Vargnatt'. This was Ulver's first foray into the wilds & an exceptional debut demo, utilising what was to become a staple acoustic guitar implementation amid melodic & often complex & obtuse arrangements, conjured & delivered with an already advanced degree of musicianship, with vocals appearing courtesy of longstanding frontman Kristoffer "Garm" Rygg. This early incarnation of Ulver also notably featured Carl-Michael Eide of Aura Noir/Ved Buens Ende fame on drums, plus this recording featured Robin "Mean" Malmberg on bass guitar, from fellow Norwegian pioneers Mysticum.This edition of 'Vargnatt' marks 30 years since its original release. The audio itself is sourced from the original DAT, plus this release contains the bonus track 'Vargnatt', captured live at Bootleg TV in Oslo, 1993 & sourced from the original U-Matic, courtesy of the National Library of Norway.
