message: I had an interview with Krystoffer G. "Garm/Fiery G. Maelstrom/Trickster G/G. Wolf/Bob G" Rygg recently.  It appeared in issue #52 of the San Diego-based magazine Modern Fix.  He highlighted a lot of details about HeadControlSystem, the Nattens Madrigal string remake, the various directions Ulver has taken over the years, etc.  And if you're wondering why I included "Bob G" as one of his multiple names, it was from my suggestion that I call him that during the interview.  He had jokingly responded, "Maybe I'll adopt that for the next record."  Yes, this is a shameless promotion for both the magazine and myself, so that's why I'm including it here as a discussion topic rather than as actual article information.
:The interview is not online? Why don't you try to incorporate some of his statements in this article? Also, Garm told me Ulver is working on a new album and a score for a major American movie this fall, did he tell you anything about this? cun 20:27, 28 September 2006 (UTC)

message: Why did you leave trip hop from the genres? (Connacht)
Ulver hardly contributed anything to the trip-hop genre. They have used elements of the genre in select areas of their catalogue, but to list it as a genre the band plays or played would be too much. None of their albums are even close to being trip-hop albums, and they don't even have any songs one could call full blown trip-hop.Karpsmöm 06:25, 31 December 2006 (UTC)

message: I am displeased by somebody’s reversal of my replacement of typewriter typographics (example: "inch marks") with decent book typographics (example: “proper” quotation marks). I can think of no reason for this. (Note that the difference between “” and "" is not visible in some sans-serif fonts when the size is small; but there is a difference none the less).

message: i have heard from the end records that a new ulver album is coming out. i guess this should be added if there is evidence.

replies: text: As far as I can see, there is sadly no evidence of this new record besides The End Records' Facebook account. Unless you want Ulver's site, which implies the creation of new material. As awesome as this news is, there's no way we can put it up yet. = ∫tc 5th Eye 01:32, 9 July 2007 (UTC)

Of course there aren't any reliable news sources saying this yet so we technically can't put it in Wikipedia right? :( Oh well it can go here, that satisfies me. = ∫tc 5th Eye 20:58, 13 July 2007 (UTC)

message: Some says he's Ulver's drummer, some says he's not. Pages around the web states he's a poet and translator. What is his role in Ulver? I can't find any reliable information.

replies: text: He's a band member and I think we should stick to that in relation to the band as the members role internally isn't really well known (they don't perform). He's also working as a writer, translator and publisher. --Emuzesto 13:55, 18 October 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  Tribute album 

message: This article for Ulver is currently under included in both the folk metal groups category as well as the list of folk metal bands. Yet nowhere else in the article are they described as folk metal. The infobox for this article tags them as black metal and folk music separately - not folk metal. The infobox in the article for their first album Bergtatt tags them as folk metal though. Now I've been doing some major work in trying to improve the folk metal article over at my personal sandbox. Seeing as to how this first Ulver album was released in 1994, I thought it would deserve a mention in the early history of the genre. Imagine my surprise though when I was not able to find a single reliable source to indicate the band was ever a folk metal outfit. There is, of course, the metal archives tagging them as "Black/Folk Metal (1993-1996)" but anyone who thinks the metal archives qualify as a reliable source should not waste my time by responding to me. The review on Allmusic.com describes the album as alternating between "sections of grim, blasting black metal" and "quiet, folk-like acoustic passages." No mention of the two being presented together. Which leads me to think that the infobox for this main Ulver article here is correct in tagging the band as black metal and folk music separately while the infobox for the Bergtatt album is wrong in tagging the album as folk metal. I do not know whether Ulver was the first but I'm sure they were not the only band to alternate between passages of extreme metal and passages of quiet, folk-like acoustic passages. Opeth comes to mind as does the early albums of Aeternus. Neither are described anywhere on wikipedia as folk metal. I've read many interviews, reviews and profiles of Ulver and their albums without once encountering anything that I could use to include Ulver in folk metal article. So I'm wondering here: did I miss something? Is there some reliable source that any of you might know of that indicate Ulver started as a folk metal band with their first album? Or is this more of a case of a fan making the mistake of thinking that Ulver qualifies as a folk metal band when they do not? I'd appreciate a response but if none arrive after some time, I will take it upon myself to remove Ulver from both the category and list for folk metal bands.--Bardin (talk) 06:57, 11 March 2008 (UTC)

message: To adhere to certain standards set here (and mirrored at MusicBrainz), I'm going to be doing some cleanup regarding the capitalization and formatting of the Norwegian albums. I hope nobody objects to this, though I've had people insisting that capitalization rules here should follow the standards set by each language (this case was where I learned that). = ∫tc 5th Eye 02:30, 5 May 2008 (UTC)

message: Daniel O'Sullivan has had an interesting time with Ulver. According to the official site, he joined the band as a "core member" in 2009, and is described as a "bandmate" as late as the ATGCLVLSSCAP press release. By the time of Caesar, though, they explain that "the core of Ulver is the trio Kristoffer Rygg, Jørn H. Sværen and Tore Ylwizaker", and describe O'Sullivan as a "collaborator" and "associated member".
So, he is clearly a former member, but he's also still working with the band in some capacity. How should that be listed?
I think it's probably fine to list him as former as far as the infobox goes, but the Members section is a bit more complex. I don't think she should be listed simply as former, due to his continued association; so I've listed him as a supporting member, with the note that he was a core member at one point. — Kawnhr (talk) 00:47, 19 April 2018 (UTC)

message: The quote at the end of the introduction from Harmony Korine is, I think, out of context.  I found the original interview here: http://www.harmony-korine.com/paper/int/hk/assangel.html
In context, I think it's clear that he's speaking of black metal as a genre and while he's clearly praising Ulver I don't think its right to include it as if it's a statement on the unique prowess of Ulver.
here's the quote in context:
 I don’t listen to death metal, I listen to black metal. For the average ear it’s unlistenable, but for me the good stuff is as beautiful as Bach is to a classical fan. There’s a real kinda lineage from, say, a composer like Wagner to a band like Ulver or Mayhem.
