Ulver Themes From William Blakes The Marriage Of Heaven And Hell CD ( Jewel Case, 2021, Peaceville Records)

Ulver’s Themes From William Blake’s The Marriage of Heaven and Hell stands as one of the most ambitious and genre-defying works in extreme and experimental music. Originally conceived as a sonic interpretation of William Blake’s visionary poetry, this album fuses avant-garde composition, spoken word passages, industrial textures, dark ambient atmospheres, and elements rooted in black metal. The result is a dense, immersive listening experience that challenges conventional song structures while remaining deeply expressive and conceptual.

This 2021 CD edition preserves the album’s expansive scope and artistic intent, presenting Ulver at a pivotal point in their evolution from early black metal origins toward experimental and progressive soundscapes. A landmark release in the band’s discography, it is essential for collectors of boundary-pushing metal, experimental music, and literary-inspired concept albums.
