June 1, 2009, 15 years ago
Scandinavian black metallers ULVER performed on Saturday, May 30th at the Norwegian Festival Of Literature. Footage of the band's first performance in 15 years can be viewed below.
Once amongst the pioneers of Norwegian black metal, now living legends of dark experimental music, Ulver are today one of Norway's most acclaimed international artists. While remaining something of a secret treasure back home, a long series of strong releases, most recently the album Shadows of the Sun (2007), has earned them a unique status worldwide.
Ulver have since their first album been exclusively a studio band.
A statement from the band regarding the Norwegian Festival Of Literature show: "Last year Mr. Stig Sæterbakken approached us with an offer to play live at the Norwegian Festival of Literature, and after long consideration we have decided to accept the invitation. We go to the job with great humility and horror. Ulver, Oslo, February 11, 2009."
