Limited to 5000 copies, the set collects Ulver's first demo Vargnatt, together with their first three full-length albums, Bergtatt, Kveldssanger and Nattens madrigal with a bonus 4-track rehearsal of songs from Nattens madrigal, recorded in the summer of 1995.
Released in a in 5xCD and 4xLP + Cassette format, housed in a cardboard box, with a 104-page booklet consisting of unpublished photos and paraphernalia, original Norwegian lyrics, presentations and their English translations, comments by the band as well as liner notes by Jon 'Metalion' Kristiansen (founder of Head Not Found Records and the man behind Slayer Mag), Chris Bruni (Profound Lore Records), Michael Jenkins Moynihan (author of Lords of Chaos) and Mark Pilkington (Strange Attractor Press). The set commemorates Ulver's black metal phase, before shifting styles dramatically into more ambient, electronic, and experimental music.
Ulver’s formative years, collectively known as The Trilogie – Three Journeyes Through the Norwegian Netherworlde, was released under this title as a 1000 limited edition triple picture vinyl box set in 1997.
