PRESENTED ON 2CD DELUXE DIGIPACK FORMAT \u0026amp; INCLUDING A RETROSPECTIVE LOOK AT THE ALBUM COURTESY OF WRITER JEFF WAGNER.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e‘Themes from William Blake's The Marriage of Heaven and Hell’ is the fourth studio album by Norwegian experimentalists Ulver.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHaving been known for their more folklore-tinged black metal compositions on early studio releases, in late 1997, mainman Kristoffer Rygg invited keyboardist, sound conceptualist, and composer Tore Ylwizaker into the collective, and together they devised a plan for The Blake Album; an altogether far more adventurous endeavour than prior releases.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhat resulted was a seamless integration of electronic \u0026amp; industrial music, with elements of progressive metal \u0026amp; avantgarde rock, all fused with ambient passages, \u0026amp; following Blake's plates as track indexes. A work of deep and personal art, the album, while initially surprising to fans due to its complete shift in genre, has become a classic today, and a prime example of the boundary-pushing evolution beyond the confines of genre expectations through the latter part of the 90’s. Upon release, ‘The Marriage of Heaven \u0026amp; Hell’ received widespread acclaim from critics within the rock, metal \u0026amp; alternative music press, being awarded Album of the Month in several high-profile magazines such as Terrorizer, Metal Hammer, and Rock Hard.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe album notably includes guest vocal appearances from Darkthrone’s Fenriz, as well as Ihsahn \u0026amp; Samoth; most known for their work in Emperor.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis newly remastered edition of ‘The Marriage of Heaven \u0026amp; Hell’ is presented on 2CD deluxe digipack format, including full lyrics\/text, plus a new article from writer and journalist Jeff Wagner on the background, nature \u0026amp; triumph of such an ambitious release.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Season of Mist - North America","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53303068655913,"sku":"P-47368-","price":9.55,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0952\/9219\/5113\/files\/Ulver-Themes-From-William-Blake-s-The-Marriage-Of-Heaven-Hell-DCD-DIGIPAK-47368-1-1630432799.jpg?v=1782933097","url":"https:\/\/shopusa.season-of-mist.com\/products\/ulver-themes-from-william-blakes-the-marriage-of-heaven-hell-dcd-digipak","provider":"Season of Mist - North America","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
