ULVER – Bergtatt (DIGI CD) — Back In Stock

By now, anyone devoted to Norwegian Black Metal has felt the shadow cast by this legendary, genre-shifting pack from Oslo—active since 1993 and forever etched into the cold stone walls of the Black Metal scene. For those rare few who may have slipped past this release, or for anyone whose old copy has been claimed by time, the moment to strike is now. Copies will not linger long, and once they vanish back into the mist, who knows when they’ll return.

We have landed a few copies of the DIGIPAK reissue of this 1995 cult debut EP by ULVER. Although this version is unofficial it is no less potent in sound or visual representation. A bootleg that is done well and offers you another chance to add this underground gem to your collection. A stark and grim black metal relic woven with spectral neo-folk passages and haunting choral invocations. A mandatory chapter in the ULVER saga—where the ancient spirit flows into bleak darkness meeting an ancient woodland melody. A seamless fusion of folk, atmospheric black metal, and raw Nordic spirit.

ULVER, the ever-shifting wolf-pack from Norway, began their hunt in 1993. Their early works form a legendary trilogy:

Bergtatt — black/folk metal steeped in moonlit folklore

Kveldssanger — an entirely acoustic ode to Nordic tradition

Nattens Madrigal — a ferocious, unrelenting assault of lupine black metal

By 1998 the wolves shed their Black Metal skin and ventured into experimental and electronic realms, but their early EPs and albums remain essential artifacts for any devotee of the genre.

"Ulver" translates to Wolves—a fitting name for a band whose early sound prowled between the ethereal and the ferocious. "Bergtatt" sees the original ULVER lineup creating a perfect acoustic-laced, moody folklore-ish black metal with a raw and misanthropic edge. An incredibly influential album, and still one of the best ever in this genre. A timeless classic!
