Essential Albums: Ulver - Kveldssanger

Ulver’s “Kveldssanger” (1996) - the Norwegian black metal band’s completely acoustic folk album that shocked the scene and created the blueprint for dark folk.

The Story Behind Kveldssanger

The album was recorded at Endless Lydstudio, Oslo, Norway in the summer and autumn of 1995, with Kristian Romsøe as engineer and co-producer. This was Ulver at their most audacious—a band barely out of their teens making a decision that could have destroyed their burgeoning career.
