About This Track

Gnosis, the second track from Ulver’s Metamorphosis EP, is the only song on this release which contains vocals. It’s divided into two parts - the first has an improvisational-feel instrumental build up, second one (which starts around 5:10) is the vocal part. The lyrics are based on a fragment from Arthur Rimbaud’s “Bad Blood” novel.

    It could (should) have been on Perdition City. One of their best songs, Garm's vocals are absolutely sensational.

    Having said that, it's probably down to translation. Rimbaud was French, so there's probably some room for different words to be used. Based on that poem anyway, and one of Ulver's best tracks in my opinion.

    Inspired by the poem Bad Blood by Arthur Rimbaud. Inspired is probably a bit of a stretch, the lyrics are paraphrased from the poem: "Science, the new nobility! Progress. The world moves!... And why shouldn't it? We have visions of numbers. We are moving toward the Spirit. What I say is oracular and absolutely right. I understand, and since I cannot express myself except in pagan terms, I would rather keep quiet."

    Apollyon's right, one of their best ever. I hear it's based on a poem...?

    I love this conspirational atmosphere which song is filled with :) And a motive with chorus is great!
