Last Rites | Dire Omens

by Ulvik

Lorenzo A strange album that combines the world of black metal with a sprinkle death(-ish) metal, strong folk influence, boundless atmosphere, use of lengthy sample, and some more gothic-leaning brooding. Foreboding throughout, Last Rites | Dire Omens has a unique duality that aims to explore loss in differing ways.

The metal is aggressive and the folk is harrowing, but the band integrates them so well and so unusually that it is avant-garde and difficult to describe to any objective extent.

about

Three years after their latest release, atmospheric black metal / dark folk duo Ulvik is ready to release their new studio album, Last Rites | Dire Omens. The Canadian duo formed by Jade Fadel and George Allen once again defies genre borders with nine new songs all different from one another, yet perfectly consistent.

Ulvik has always been hard to define, moving seamlessly between dark folk (Volume I and Volume II) and atmospheric black metal (Cascades), and their new opus makes no exception: albeit a black metal record at heart, Last Rites | Dire Omens includes lots of different influences and hints. Reminiscent of the Northwestern lands of the American continent, Ulvik’s work shifts from essential, acoustic episodes to more complex, aggressive and almost avantgarde pieces.

Last Rites | Dire Omens is a foreboding, yearning record, yet captivating in its stark beauty. Both harrowing in its unrelenting heavy passages, then flowing into delicate sounds of loss and despondency, like the soundtrack to a eulogy, a sermon for the end of the world.
