Norway’s celestial dark rock outfit Ulver has announced an October 8, 2013 North American release date for its upcoming album Messe I.X – IV.X. <\/p>\n

The follow up to 2011’s acclaimed Wars of the Roses, Messe I.X-VI.X is a different entity; reverberating 2007’s somber and solemn Shadows of the Sun, with the band even going as far as to say it feels like a companion piece to it. The album also echoes the early electronic experiments of EPs ‘Silence Teaches You How to Sing’ and ‘Silencing the Singing,’ and is furthermore said to invoke the ghost of an abandoned Nattens madrigal renaissance-project.<\/p>\n
Six compositions altogether written, produced, recorded and mixed by Ulver, this time consisting of Ole Alexander Halstensg\u00e5rd, Kristoffer Rygg, J\u00f8rn H. Sv\u00e6ren and Tore Ylwizaker, with additional aid and advice from composer Martin Romberg, who also arranged the music for the 21 members of Troms\u00f8 Chamber Orchestra. The album also features the extraordinary talents of contemporary composers\/musicians Ole-Henrik Moe and Kari R\u00f8nnekleiv.<\/p>\n
The Norwegian master has evolved over the past two decades to cross an astonishing body of disciplines, taking in ambient, avant-garde, electronic, psychedelic, prog and jazz influences. Now it is the electronic, atmospheric and classical sensibilities which come to the fore on Messe I.X – IV.X.<\/p>\n
Stay tuned for more information on Ulver and Messe I.X – IV.X.<\/p>\n
