Style: black metal
Primary Emotions/Themes: Black metal with heavy folk influence
Thoughts: The one and only demo from a young Norwegian band that would end up becoming one of the most influential in all extreme music, and my personal favorite band.
Vargnatt is a mix of primitive black metal with a healthy dose of acoustic guitar and folk music. The six songs vary in quality, with my favorite being Trollskogen due to it's all acoustic nature. The songs really don't flow very well and they also are a bit disjointed within the riffs themselves. Garm does not sound very good, and the whole thing is a bit of a mess... but it's still a fantastic listen every now and then.
This may not be the best representation of Ulver, but it shows where the band came from. For historical reasons this is a great artifact to hear where the band came from before the band went on to become what they currently are.
