Band: Ulver
Album title: The Assassination Of Julius Caesar
Release date: 7 April 2017
Label: House of Mythology
Some bands or artists are simply meant to push the borders forward. The evershifting and experimental band Ulver has showed us this so many times. Musically this new album is placed in the 80s synth-wave, new wave and synth-pop. Yet Ulver stay loyal to their uncompromising dark nature and the wolfish soul is cleary evident. More than anything else we must know that The Assassination Of Julius Caesar is not a nostalgic album, it's still a genre defining work of art, it's a subtle musical universe where “pop” is more a mark of distinction, denoting immediacy and possible body movement. The Assassination Of Julius Caesar, Ulver's thirteenth album, is a majestical, lets say dark pop album, which reinvents the term "pop" and adds some completely new terms to it. Masterpiece!
