What can anyone say about the most radical album ever written in black/avant-garde metal history? "Written in Waters" is the first and only full-length album of Ved Buens Ende, but it can indisputably be described as "one of the best" or "classical". And this title shouldn't sound extravagant. If there's an album that single-handedly opened the minds of black or avant-garde metalheads, this is the one. "Written in Waters" is a journey to the unknown, inexperienced and bizarre side of black metal, though it trespasses its territory. It attempts a completely different approach to emotions, hard to follow at the beginning, but very rewarding in the end.

Aye, my hymen got blown away due to the sheer brilliance. I didn't expect the music to be so blasting at some points. I guess I had a different idea in mind witht he whole avantgarde tag. But yeah, great shit.

Yeah this song is a bit more black metal than most of the other tracks, they usually have slower sections dispersed with black metal. It's all good though.
I just did too, and I was like O_o ... I heard DsO, Code and even a bit of Akercocke, but mostly Code.
Well, as far as I know, Code had a Ved Buens Ende member at some point in the band. I forget who, but there's definitely a link somewhere there. But yeah, musically speaking Code and Virus are the first bands I go to, but I agree in that Akercocke have definitely derived influence from this outfit at points in their career. Actually, I heard Virus before Code, and my first thought about them was that Akercocke's frontman had lent his vocal talent to Virus. So very similar in the clean vocal department. I'd actually completely forgoten about that until you mentioned Akercocke here.

Yup yup, Virus indeed.
When you really think about it, every aspect of this album is massively influential. The clean vocals, and I don't mean the idea of the cleans in Black metal but the way they are sung. The weird chords, the unorthodox progression in the songs and the unusual song structures.
How on the earth this was released in 1995 ? :| seriously, this is one of the most forward thinking albums I've ever heard and it definitely had been much ahead of its time when it was published. In this regard, this album is much like obscura I think. I am really loving those clean vocals. Any band having similar clean vocals, except those ones which share members with Ved Buens Ende?

You could try Yurei's Working Class Demon album, if you can find it.
Never heard of Yurie. Sounds pretty crazy and very this band though (well, more Virus).
It seems that the guy behind Yurei had been a member of virus in the past and Yurei belongs to a circle of similar bands with distinct avantgarde approach on Adversum Records. Stagnant waters is also on that label and its members have close relationship with mastermind of Yurei

Now you can listen to the album and gasp at just how much Deathspell Omega took from their sound.
. Thank you for heads up
