Ulver - Locusts (2024)
Locusts, Ulver's 2024 release, continues their evolution into synthpop and art pop, diverging from their early black metal roots. The album showcases haunting electronic soundscapes with a strong emphasis on atmosphere and melancholic beauty. Each track is meticulously produced, featuring minimalistic yet powerful instrumentation that reflects the band's avant-garde approach. Vocally, Kristoffer Rygg's performance carries emotional weight, adding depth to the intricate layers of synths and ambient textures. While Locusts may surprise long-time fans of their black metal era, it stands as a compelling testament to Ulver's genre-defying creativity.
