This was Ulver’s first foray into the wilds \u0026amp; an exceptional debut demo, utilising what was to become a staple acoustic guitar implementation amid melodic \u0026amp; often complex \u0026amp; obtuse arrangements, conjured \u0026amp; delivered with an already advanced degree of musicianship, with vocals appearing courtesy of longstanding frontman Kristoffer “Garm” Rygg. This early incarnation of Ulver also notably featured Carl-Michael Eide of Aura Noir\/Ved Buens Ende fame on drums, plus this recording featured Robin “Mean” Malmberg on bass guitar, from fellow Norwegian pioneers Mysticum.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis edition of ‘Vargnatt’ is presented on black vinyl.
