ULVER – surprise release a new EP and tour dates

Ulver have just surprise-released a three track EP entitled Sic Transit Gloria Mundi. The news arrives just as the band are about to embark on their European "The Assassination of Julius Caesar" tour.

Sic Transit Gloria Mundi EP marks “the sad remains from the Caesarean banquet.” Comprised of two new songs, and including a cover of a Frankie’s monumental “Power of Love”. The EP was recently completed in their new studio in the old town of Oslo, and sent off to Youth’s in London for imperial sound quality.

David Hall and Vivek Venkatesh have worked on the videos to two songs, using footage from Ulver’s concert at the Labirinto della Masone, in Italy, on June 3rd. Spectacular laser displays are supplied by Birk Nygaard/BN Visuals, who shall also join the band on their European tour throughout November.

The cover of the EP shows Francis Bacon’s Study After Velásquez’s Portrait of Pope Innocent X (1953), used with kind permission of Des Moines Art Center. Design by Paschalis Zervas, +wolframgrafik.
