Norwegian metal stars Ulver have released a beast of a song, ‘Little Boy’. Equally catchy as it is intense and thunderous, ‘Little Boy’ is, as they put it themselves, “a strange song for strange times”. They also had this to say:

“We have no other comment at this moment. This is a time for withdrawal, a time for reading and listening to music. The song is free on Bandcamp, with the option to donate a little something if you want to. Thank you, and take care.”

‘Little Boy’ will be tied to a new album and we’ll keep our ears peeled for more details about it. Now turn your headphones up and listen to it.

Norway’s Ulver have a new album on the way called ATGCLVLSSCAP, partly live and mostly improvisational and due on January 22nd via their own newly-formed House of Mythology. With the number twelve as the kernel of the album, ATGCLVLSSCAP comprises recordings made at twelve different live shows performed in February 2014 and it also takes its name from the initials of the twelve zodiac signs, starting with Aries. “The tour was to be an experiment, kind of loose and scary for a band as ‘set in their ways’ as us”, said Ulver’s mastermind Kristoffer Rygg.

To get us enticed ahead of its release, Ulver have shared a couple of excerpts from new tracks ‘Cromagnosis’ and ‘Moody Stix’. Listen to both below.
