Ulvesang is a darkfolk/neofolk band from Canada inspired by nature, animals, folklore, struggles with mental illness, and melancholy.
"Ulvesang is the collective effort of two individuals sharing an interest in melancholic, naturalistic, neofolk/darkfolk music.
Our influences within the genre are important to us, but we strive to build our own unique take on a pre-established sound.
We hope to build stories and atmosphere with our music."
“Born in the ocean flanked forests of Nova Scotia on Canada’s East Coast, Ulvesang came into existence as the collective effort of three individuals who shared a love of atmospheric and melancholic music.
Recognizing an unfortunate lack of adventurous local “dark folk” music, and raised on a diet of classic Neofolk, Black Metal atmospherics and bizarre occultism, the Ulvesang collective set about crafting their first suite of songs as a public offering.
Over the course of 2015 the self-titled album was channeled into existence through a focus on driving, finger picked rhythms, raw recording practice and haunting glossolalia to present a package both clearly informed by its influences while remaining wholly distinct from them.
Through a combination of modern social media savvy and an indefinable, sometimes unsettling, blend of Pagan and Post-Occult imagery,
Ulvesang captured the attention of the underground with their debut and alongside notable contemporaries hope to usher in a new wave of Canadian Neofolk.”
