"Since 2011, ULVER has not released any fully original albums, instead delivering excellent collections of covers ('Childhood's End'), reinterpretations and improvisations ('ATGCLVLSSCAP'), soundtracks ('Riverhead'), collaborations ('Terrestrials' with SUNN O))))), and commissioned works ('Messe I.X-VI.X'). 'The Assassination Of Julius Caesar' marks the first true new release from Norway's most versatile band in a decade, featuring 8 fresh compositions that exude a strong 80's New Wave vibe. Krystoffer 'Garm' Rygg once again delivers an angelic performance, the arrangements are nothing short of spectacular, and the production is detailed, rich, crystalline, and powerful all at once—43 minutes to savor without moderation! BUY OR DIE! A MUST LISTEN!"
