PRESENTED ON DOUBLE GATEFOLD BLACK VINYL FORMAT, INCLUDING A RETROSPECTIVE LOOK AT THE ALBUM COURTESY OF WRITER JEFF WAGNER.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e‘Themes from William Blake's The Marriage of Heaven \u0026amp; Hell’ was the fourth studio album by Norwegian experimentalists Ulver. Having been known for their more folklore-tinged black metal compositions on early studio releases, in late 1997, mainman Kristoffer Rygg invited keyboardist, sound conceptualist \u0026amp; composer Tore Ylwizaker into the collective \u0026amp; together they devised a plan for The Blake Album; an altogether far more adventurous endeavour than prior releases.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhat resulted was a seamless integration of electronic \u0026amp; industrial music, with elements of progressive metal \u0026amp; avantgarde rock, all fused with ambient passages, \u0026amp; following Blake's plates as track indexes. A work of deep \u0026amp; personal art, the album, while initially surprising to fans due to its complete shift in genre, has become a classic today \u0026amp; a prime example of the boundary-pushing evolution beyond the confines of genre expectations through the latter part of the 90s. Upon release, ‘The Marriage of Heaven \u0026amp; Hell’ received widespread acclaim from critics within the rock, metal \u0026amp; alternative music press, being awarded Album of the Month in several high-profile magazines such as Terrorizer, Metal Hammer \u0026amp; Rock Hard.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe album notably includes guest vocal appearances from Darkthrone’s Fenriz, as well as Ihsahn \u0026amp; Samoth; most known for their work in Emperor.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis remastered edition of ‘The Marriage of Heaven \u0026amp; Hell’ is presented on double gatefold black vinyl, including full lyrics\/text, plus an article from writer \u0026amp; journalist Jeff Wagner on the background, nature \u0026amp; triumph of such an ambitious release.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSide A\u003cbr\u003e1.
