Fortunately, through In the Woods …, Dødheimsgard and Virus (all include Ved Buens Ende members), their legacy continued.Īnd yet, almost unexpectedly, the return of Ved Buens Ende is a fact, and we expect the successor of this masterpiece. Ved Buens Ende have since fallen into inertia, offering only a fleeting glimpse of the path that black metal could take.

Find top songs and albums by Ved Buens Ende, including Its Magic (Album), You, That May Wither and more. Written in Waters does not exude nihilism, but the melancholy that gives birth to the weight of nostalgia. Listen to music by Ved Buens Ende on Apple Music. The lyrics are poetic with a bitter riddle in every song reminiscent of the past as an escape from pain. Everything is reminiscent of pain and perseverance to stay in the present. The setting is reminiscent of an autumnal day in a Norwegian landscape whose melancholic tranquility is marred by the threat of rain when Vicotnik’s black vocals burst out to come again after a time of non-reassuring tranquility. The voice of Carl-Michael Eide who almost narrates the lyrics is startling. A bitter album, influenced by the consolidated black metal sound and the psychedelic past of rock music. The album is the matrix for many avant-garde metal records that followed in the years that followed, a bold work that justified the radical songwriting in the black metal field. Written in Waters can be seen as a pioneer for progressive black metal and verifies that the source for the renewal of metal music lies in its extreme manifestations. In this newly created genre to which some have attributed a monolithic character and condemn it as trapped in his proclamations, the Norwegians gave a different dimension. Ved Buens Ende’s first and only album was released in 1995 giving an unexpected face to the new movement. The current lineup is Skoll on bass, Carl-Michael Eide on guitars/clean vocals, Vicotnik on guitars/harsh vocals, and Øyvind Myrvoll on drums.The new wave of black metal made its appearance in the mid-90s by creating a deafening clash that made it sound all over Europe and helped it to be accepted as the ultimate new trend. Several songs intended for this album ultimately appeared on Virus' The Black Flux.Īs of 2019, they have reunited again. The band broke up again in early 2007, without having released another album. The new material is being developed at the moment and will differ from both 'Written In Waters' and 'Carheart' yet still retain the trademark off the wall guitar sounds of those releases.'

'We will record a new album this year, to be released in 2007 by an as-yet-undetermined label (interested parties get in touch) and we also aim at playing live, where we will perform material both from 'Written In Waters' and the VIRUS 'Carheart' album plus of course new compositions. The band's drummer, Einar Sjursø, had this to say about the band on : Many fans of the band were surprised by the absence of Hugh Mingay (aka Skoll), whose place was taken by Petter Berntsen. They are also members of Carl-Michael Eide's band Virus. On 26 April 2006, announced that Ved Buens Ende had reformed, and were working on new material.Īlong with Vicotnik and Carl-Michael Eide, who now plays guitar instead of drums, there are two new members Petter 'Plenum' Berntsen on bass and Einar 'Esso' Sjursø on drums. The band split up in 1997, after releasing only one album, Written in Waters. The band mixed many unusual musical elements for metal, such as atonality and dissonance, a very prominent bass sound as well as Eide's crooning and Vicotnik's characteristic shrieks. They were signed to the British label Misanthropy Records. Prior to this, Carl-Michael Eide had been playing in Ulver and Vicotnik in his own project Manes which eventually became Ved Buens Ende, not to be confused with other Norwegian band Manes, known as Perifa, and later, Manii. Ved Buens Ende was formed in Oslo in 1993 by the drummer Carl-Michael Eide and guitarist Vicotnik, who were then joined by bassist Skoll.
