Progressive(ly) Metal

As you might have notice this blog plays around the progressive word, The main objective is to help on the promotion of metal and trying to change the perspective metal=noise. However, Expect the unexpected. Mainly focussed on progressive metal or rock, but easily going to catch some good stuff to bands with only some progressive elements. And sometimes also going totally out of the progressive genre and of metal. Help you discovering what has been done of value around the world in my opinion.

Ulver - ATGCLVLSSCAP(2016)

Time to bring you something more from Ulver. This is the album from 2016 with a name almost impossible to pronounce. This Song is on my MP3 and is a pleasure any time it pops up. The song is called "Cromagnosis"

Ulver - Shadows of The Sun (2007)

This last posts were about Norwegians bands. Today we will stick once again to Norway.
You might probably remember me talking about the amazing voice of Garm present in Borknagar. The truth is a bit after stumbling upon them, I happen to found his former work. Now he is in a band called Ulver, It seems the band started in Black metal and is not in a more experimentalist way, The way they sound now is mystical in so many ways that gives me chills to hear it. I bring you a song from 2007's album Shadows Of The Sun, which brings a kind of a tribal sound to the music which I love it.
