morfiend Posted February 22, 2017 Share Posted February 22, 2017 House of Mythology Newsletter 21/02/2016 Following last year’s highly successful ATGCLVLSSCAP, an album of largely improvisational, rock and electronic soundscapes, comes a brand new studio album from Ulver – their first since 2011’s Wars of the Roses. The Assassination of Julius Caesar arrives 7th of April and pre-orders went online a bit earlier today. In addition to unlimited black we have pressed 500 gold, 500 clear/transparent and also 300 gold/black marble versions of this colossus of an album. Unfortunately the band jumped the gun – before we had time to write this – and the marbles were gone with the wind mere moments after their Facebook post today. Not in our wildest dreams had we foreseen such enthusiasm. So, our sincere apologies to those of you who did not see said post or get a heads up from us. We hope you can forgive us and enjoy a regular gold, or clear, of which there are still plenty left. The thing comes as 180 gram vinyl housed in black poly-lined inner bag, thick (matte) card stock sleeve, 5mm spine, including a 12” matte paper booklet, 24 pages. All in protective PVC exterior sleeve. Recorded and produced by Ulver and mixed by legendary producer Martin ‘Youth’ Glover alongside Michael Rendall. SIDE A: Nemoralia, Rolling Stone, So Falls the World, Southern Gothic SIDE B: Angelus Novus, Transverberation,1969, Coming Home Never afraid to make bold musical statements or broaden their already expansive sonic palette, this new album is no exception. We predict that jaws shall drop! The band also has some select live performances on the horizon, where they will be presenting this new material: Friday 21-Apr: Safe As Milk Festival @ Pontins, Prestatyn, Wales Sunday 23-Apr-2017: Roadburn Festival @ 013, Tilburg, The Netherlands Saturday 29-Apr-2017: Impetus Festival @ Les Docks, Lausanne, Switzerland Sunday 30-Apr-2017: Donaufestival 2017 @ Krems, Austria Thursday 15-Jun-2017: Dark Mofo Festival @ Hobart, Tasmania Friday 30-Jun-2017: Prog Be My Friend! @ Poble Espanyol, Barcelona Ad victoriam wolves, House of Mythology PRE-ORDER HERE - http://houseofmythology.us11.list-manage2.com/track/click?u=ecbd47c80ae19c16bc0400812&id=b6140115d7&e=a7c912811f Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

morfiend Posted February 22, 2017 Author Share Posted February 22, 2017 I'm not gonna pre-order either. I'm hoping I can find some of these stateside. I'd be fine with a black copy, 2notepockets 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anchorlessbodies Posted February 22, 2017 Share Posted February 22, 2017 They mentioned that probably a deluxe handmade/50 version will see the light, hopefully I will be able to grab one if that really happens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Garm mentioned in a facebook post that wasn't gonna happen. He said they just ran out of time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
morfiend Posted April 8, 2017 Author Share Posted April 8, 2017 Have you guys heard this yet? I've been listening to it all morning and I'm very impressed. It's definitely the most accessible record they've done (not counting the covers album) and for the most part is electronic pop. It's a beautiful record all around, the vocals are great (including some female ones) and I love the atmosphere all the tracks create. This could be album of the year material for me.

Mars Posted April 10, 2017 Share Posted April 10, 2017 Ulver has been pretty mellow the last few releases, and while I've liked them, they've been a bit 'boring'. This is the album that I've been waiting for them to release. Everything about it is great. morfiend 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
