Yurei – Working Class Demon (2010)
Format : CD
▸ Label - Adversum
▸ Catalog Number - AV001
▸ EAN - 2 101192 500014
▸ Released - Aug 2010
My rating on review : 85/100 (★★★☆)
"This album is filled up with a cold and senseless atmosphere fed up with a simple musical structure. This album is highly recommended for those who love Virus or Ved Buens Ende. Overall, it is a good avant-garde metal album portraying neglected feelings or deprivation."
The best track on this album is track number 6, 'Bleeding Thoughts, Carving Ghost'. But I cannot find the audio of the track on YouTube, which gives me no option left but to recommend the track below.
Recommended Track : 2. Your Black Waters

"It's a bold work as a newcomer to the thrash revival scene back in 2009. Sounds never overcomplicated, and the riffs are simple and intuitive compared to the other thrash revivalists. It's a very attractive album with progressive additives. I highly recommend any metal fans to give this album a try."

"This album is special and monumental in black metal history because it was one of the first albums that pushed black metal in this hybrid direction combining avant-garde, prog and folk elements. The people who stick to the purest form of black metal might not like this album. But, to me, this release sounds evolutionary. Especially the second track, En Skikkelse I Horisonten, is a beauty."

My rating on this album : 85/100 (★★★☆)
"This album sounds unorthodox and heterodox because it successfully blends thrash, death, and progressive metal elements and turns them into a harmonious musical form. You can easily find how this band unfolds their musical story with the aforementioned different elements in the first two tracks, which may sound a bit monotonous in structure. But it creates the continuation of a grim, dark, and unpleasant atmosphere which adds uniqueness to this album."

"Please stop thinking about the black metal past of the Ulver's career. The album itself is a great moody and atmospheric electronica with distinct story-telling vibes. I was so pleased to witness the Ulver's capability to weave a tale of sinister film noir escapades into their music out of the black metal category. The harmonies between the noirish synth sound and the down-tempo beats craft the gloomy and down-in-the-mouth atmosphere."

"It is a stellar piece of musical integration in Anamnesi's career. In the three previous works prior to this album, Anamnesi put more musical weight on the side of crafting a unique ambience. But, in this album, Anamnesi changed his musical path, heading towards an all-in-one style of black metal which Anamnesi calls 'solar metal'. This album is full of vivid portrayals of a ritualistic act of worshipping solar. Overall, It is a brilliant work with 'solar' spirituality."

Musically speaking, this album sounds more fluid, quirky and dynamic. The feature I love the most about this album is that this release sounds more creative and interesting as it goes towards the end. This is the main reason why I revisit this album quite often up until now even though it was released over a decade ago."
