VED BUENS ENDE Written In Waters (180 Gram White Vinyl) 2 x LP

*** This is a new and unplayed item, direct from the CRUCIAL BLAST shop. ***
DESCRIPTION FROM CRUCIAL BLAST:
Now re-issued on heavyweight white vinyl in a gatefold package.
A classic blast of inventive, esoteric post-black metal weirdness, Ved Buens Ende (which translates into 'At The End of the Rainbow' in English) released this album in 1995 on the now long gone label Misanthropy, which ended up being the only album they ever released. The band featured musicians that either had been or would become members of black metal heavyweights Arcturus, Aura Noir, Ulver, Cadaver Inc., Satyricon and Dodheimsgard, but their music was far from anything being done in black metal circles in the mid-90's. This new re-issue of Written In Waters features all new packaging (with awesome new artwork that reminds me of Ralph Steadman's trademark ink scrawl), and a complete remix and re-mastering. Even listening to this album today, this stuff seems way ahead of it's time, as surrealistic and bent as anything from Deathspell Omega, Solefald, Arcturus, and Fleurety, but even more outside of the parameters of black metal than any of those bands. Ved Buens Ende had a completely unique sound that was at it's core black metal, complete with buzzy tremolo riffing, blastbeats and the occasional raspy blackened shriek, but out of that core blossomed a twisted mutation of Norwegian blackness with weird guitar chords that have a dissonant quality somewhat like Voivod's, but jazzier, and clean-toned guitar melodies that are more comparable to post-rockers Slint than anything. Drummer Carl-Michael Elde delivers loose, jazzy rhythms that flow with bassist Skoll's intricate, serpentine bass lines. They sort of sound like a jazz-informed art rock outfit possessed with a demonic black metal spirit. Elde's singing also contributes to the weirdness of Ved Buens Ende, a kind of dramatic, gothy croon/chant that fits nicely with the album's otherworldly, forlorn atmosphere. Indeed, Written In Waters veers more towards Don Cabellero - grade math rock and King Crimson than anything resembling trad black metal, an outsider BM masterpiece that has remained legendary in the realm of post-black metal for over a decade now. Absolutely recommended to fans of Ulver, the early Fleurety albums, Arcturus' weirdest stuff, and the newer psychedelia-tinged stuff from Enslaved... © CRUCIAL BLAST
