ulver - bergtatt - et eeventyr i 5 capitler

ulver - bergtatt - et eeventyr i 5 capitler
year: 1995
quality: 320kbps (77mb)

track list:
1. capitel i: i troldskog faren vild
2. capitel ii: soelen gaaer bag aase need
3. capitel iii: graablick blev hun vaer
4. capitel iv: een stemme locker
5. capitel v: bergtatt - ind i fjeldkamrene

this album is basically the cornerstone of folk black metal. it's a very good album, and manages to be a very beautiful fusion of a perhaps odd mix. but time has proven it's a more than viable combination of genres, which i see as a good thing.
