Ulver

Norwegian experimental band Ulver's legendary third album tells the story of a werewolf through hyper-speed sheets of guitar, eternally damned vocal savagery and pure white static distortion. There are approximately 15 seconds on this album of acoustic guitars. One of the most aurally challenging records to come out of the whole microphone-hating Norwegian scene, Nattens Madrigal bears the distinction of allegedly having been recorded on 4-track in a forest at night. Given the fact that other bands in this scene burned churches and killed people, that idea does not seem so appalling.
