Warthur
Ulver's second album isn't a black metal album at all - it's a collection of acoustic folk compositions, with the focus mainly on acoustic guitar with very occasional drumming and chanted vocals. However, fans of black metal and folk alike may find this album a curious and unique piece for the atmosphere the pieces evoke - it's melancholic, mysterious, and when the choral vocals kick in also takes on a hint of pride and majesty. On the whole, black metal fans may find it presents an intriguing acoustic folk take on the same themes as Ulver's black metal releases, whilst folk fans may find its spooky and haunting atmosphere enjoyable.

Oh, I wasn't arguing for it to be reclassified - no point when non-metal albums are going to be opened up for review in the near-ish future (by my understanding) - but I think a review of this album which didn't point out that it's completely different from Bergtatt (which immediately preceded it) and Nattens Madrigal (the next album) would be in danger of misleading people.

If we moved this album to non-metal, it would kill all the reviews posted for it. It's a bit of a predicament until the admins make the non-metal albums reviewable.
