Dec 13, 2011 - Just out of curiosity, what key is this song in?

Dec 19, 2011 - Can someone who speaks Norwegian please translate the lyrics and give me some idea of the meaning behind them? I'd be really grateful if you could.

DarkRaven4649 mowi:

Dec 23, 2011 - The lyrics are in an old dialect closer to Danish, so I'm not too sure about some of them, but this translation should get the meaning across well enough:

Dec 23, 2011 - [1] They awaited her homecoming She was lost in the dark woods The blankets of snow had unfurled On the path home - her last leg If only she could Follow the paths Alas, she should wander Among these dark features The black arms of the forest embraced this strange guest And made her deepest thoughts grim That in the hall of the Mountain King was a thirst for christman's blood

DarkRaven4649 mowi:

Dec 23, 2011 - [2]Those who live Underground: "It approaches quietly; a girl clothed to grieve, She sits there, with folded hands, Sending a prayer to the Heavenly Kingdom" Above her head, There drips from a twig, Drop by drop, like the blood, From the body of Jesus Christ. The Girl: "Oh, alone in the deep woods, I feel that tonight, Tonight thinks of me"

DarkRaven4649 mowi:

Dec 23, 2011 - Worth noting that "Christman" or "Christian" was a way of referring to good, honest people, whose blood was often desired by the trolls - servants of the Mountain King.

Mar 7, 2012 - E minor. If you play "e minor - D - e minor - C" you basically have the first riff. Then "e minor - some variation of Bb - e sus - E - D - C - B7 - G - D" is basically the second riff..Nice to pull at the bonfire instead of Wonderwall or Kumbayah. :) Note: there are more riffs in the song, but I don't know what they would "translate" to when it comes to regular guitar chords, but E is the base.

Apr 3, 2012 - Official translation from Ulver (2/2): The Netherworlde: "Near at hande; a Maid in grieffe Handes joyn'd in Prayer A Litanie rises to the Heaven above" From Sprigges above Upon her Head Drop by drop as Bloode From the Bodie of Christe The Maiden: "Alas! Alone In Foreste deep Tonight, I feel and fear No one remembers Me"

Apr 3, 2012 - This is obviously a more poetic translation that captures the spirit of using medieval language, as opposed to the literal modern translation poster earlier.

Apr 15, 2012 - takes me back... why can't they play this on the radio? This and black metal in general kicks the shit outta beiber and spears as well as anyone else. time for the underground to rise!

itshybi mowi:

Apr 21, 2012 - BM would be as shitty, simple and stupid if it was played in the radio.

cheese1678989 mowi:

May 6, 2012 - Because the general population is extremely stupid and can't appreciate music which is long and inaccessible. A black metal radio station would be great though.

May 12, 2012 - This is crap compared to real music like Justin Bieber. This music is without soul and I think they have tried to steal a lot from Justin Bieber.
