          Release Notes:

          Kscope are very proud to announce that Ulver are
          the latest band to join their roster. Early
          pioneers of Norwegian black metal, the band have
          continually evolved throughout their career and
          now stand as living legends of the dark music
          industry.

          The last two years have also seen Ulver manifest
          into a live band. Following their first live
          performance in May 2009, at the Norwegian Festival
          of Literature, the band toured Europe in 2010
          selling out prestigious venues such as the Queen
          Elizabeth Hall in London, Volksbьhne in Berlin and
          Casa da Mъsica in Porto, to great acclaim:

          "Ulver's presentation is surreal and stark. A
          psychedelic excursion, an immersive experience,
          fuelled by haunting, progressive art. After such a
          night, you don't want to see another band for a
          few days. Because anything else would pale when
          put alongside Ulver."
          - Classic Rock Magazine

          2010 culminated in a packed performance in the
          main theatre of the Norwegian National Opera.
          Ulver were the first band outside the established
          Norwegian music scene to be invited to play at the
          opera house and a DVD of this landmark performance
          will be released on Kscope later this year.

          Such an invitation is quite an accomplishment for
          a band that has always remained uncompromisingly
          independent, operating without marketing,
          advertising or any backing from a label (except
          their own imprint, Jester Records). Despite this
          stance the band are revered around the world, have
          sold in excess of half a million records, have
          well over 11,000,000 plays on Last FM and the
          interest does not seem to be fading; indeed the
          band are now preparing to add another bookmark to
          their chameleonic legacy.

          A bigger label, management, touring -- all this is
          new and unchartered territory for the band, and
          one in which they are not necessarily
          savoir-faire. During the last two years they have
          shifted from the safety zone of the studio towards
          a more traditional route, facing the music rather
          than hiding in the shadows. Everything can happen,
          and has. The new album, Wars Of The Roses, clearly
          reflects this.

          With a long standing reputation for being
          unpredictable and unafraid of radical departures,
          the most subversive aspect this time is perhaps
          the band's increased accessibility; even touching
          on the polished sensibilities of pop and rock. The
          opening track "February MMX" is a striking
          example. But naturally with Ulver comes
          ambivalence. Fringe figures appear: horror
          connoisseur Stephen Thrower of Coil and Cyclobe,
          experimental guitar-guru Stian Westerhus along
          with British free improvisation legends Steve
          Noble and Alex Ward. They all play important parts
          on the album, their instant instincts perfectly
          aligned with Ulver's composed compassion. The
          familiar baroque menagerie of piano, wood and wind
          sit alongside the machines and the ghosts within.

          The album ends with "Stone Angels", a long and
          winding dreamland narrated by Daniel O'Sullivan
          (who became a core member of the group in 2009).
          The text is written by acclaimed American poet and
          translator Keith Waldrop, an acquaintance of Jшrn
          H. Svжren, the author in the band. It is, quite
          frankly, beautiful.

          Thematically, the same is at stake as always with
          Ulver: the human condition and a world in fall.
          But this time the landscape is viewed from a
          bird's eye perspective, exposing culture and
          tradition rather than the personal vulnerability
          expressed on previous albums. In the words of
          Julian Cope:

          "Ulver are cataloguing the death of our culture
          two decades before anyone else has noticed its
          inevitable demise."

          Wars Of The Roses was mixed by producer
          extraordinaire John Fryer (Depeche Mode, Cocteau
          Twins, Swans etc.), following a chance meeting
          outside Crystal Canyon studios during the latter
          stages of recording. Sounds like fate.
