Dat klopt, maar het gerucht was wel dat die Corvette plaatjes ten tijde van 'Nattens Madrigal' geschoten waren. NM zelf voldoet ook in visueel opzicht aan de black metal esthetiek ja.
Maar weet je, het zong toen wat rond op Usenet dat Ulver dit gedaan had. Misschien dat er op google groups nog wat van te vinden is. Allicht dat er geen snars van waar is.... maar versch. mensen hebben het dus onafhankelijk van elkaar gehoord, hardnekkig verhaal dus .
Hier een interview met de producer van de Nattens cd!
quote:
Maelstrom: I'd asked you before if you had been connected with black metal, and you said you hadn't. But I took a look at an Ulver album, and on the back it said something about "grimness of sound was brought about with the help of Helge Sten."
Helge Sten: Oh, yeah, the Ulver. I did some mixing, as far as I remember. I mixed most of the tracks from that album. I had a studio downtown, which I shared with Audun (I couldn't catch the last name, sorry. - Roberto) a mastering engineer. We shared a big space and had two different studios, and Kris (Rygg, aka Garm) was working with Audun. We were good friends, all of us. I did some mixing, and Audun did the mastering of the album. Quite, quite heavily, I'd say. He was doing really hardcore stuff with the mastering of those mixes.
Maelstrom: That album's reputation is being recorded at night and in the woods. Is that true?
Helge Sten: You know, I don't know. Some other people recorded it. They just brought the tapes. I don't really know much about the album at all, except for having mixed it.
Maelstrom: So that's just part of your Audio Virus Lab work? Like, a lot of people come and they have you mix stuff?
Helge Sten: Yeah, I did mainly mixing down there, more than recording. And that's actually true, it's the only black metal thing I've done. He was working down there, and we were all good friends.
Maelstrom: What was it like mixing that? Because, it's quite an extreme sound. When they gave it to you, did they say: "we want it to sound as shitty as possible"?
Helge Sten: Yeah, they did actually. They wanted to have a really hardcore sound. They wanted to go back to the roots of Norwegian black metal. Very harsh sounding stuff. That's also why Audun did such an extreme mastering on that album.
Maelstrom: Are the drums sped up on that album?
Helge Sten: I don't know anything about the recording.
