Ulver are a Norwegian music group formed in 1993, led by Kristoffer "Garm" Rygg. They began in black metal and later shifted through folk/acoustic, ambient, chamber and experimental electronic and soundtrack work.

Kristoffer G. Rygg (aka Garm) is the group's lead vocalist. Reviews and records document collaborations and contributions ranging from chamber ensembles and jazz/trumpet players to electronic artists (e.g., Christian Fennesz) and orchestral projects (Messe I.X-VI.X recorded with Tromsø Chamber Orchestra).

DeBaser reviews describe Ulver as a Norwegian group that began in black metal and continually reinvented itself across folk, ambient, chamber and experimental electronics. Kristoffer "Garm" Rygg's voice and the band's atmospheric, cinematic approach are recurring highlights. Key records discussed include Bergtatt, Kveldssanger, Perdition City, Shadows Of The Sun and Themes from William Blake.

For:Fans of experimental music, ambient, neofolk and extreme/atmospheric metal

 Yes, in my opinion, Ulver hits the target perfectly: "Shadows of the Sun" asserts itself from the first notes as the most elegant, refined and balanced album that the Wolves have been able to create since they decided to embrace the avant-garde paradigm.
