ULVER mainman Kristoffer Rygg revelead to Rocking.gr that he is currently working on some new songs with drone pioneers SUNN O)))'s Stephen O'Malley.

When asked about the forementioned project, Rygg explained: "Actually we recorded four – not really songs at that point - but rather

blocks of sound, also in the 2008, around the same time that we had the first sessions for Childhood’s End. It’s the same. It’s been lying around and we’ve returned to it occasionally but now Stephen’s been around a bit. It’s time to get the ghost out of the closet. We’re free to do it now."
