It's quite rare that anyone knows who Uaral is, let alone Ulver! I also like Empyrium.

Ulver is the pick of the bunch for me. There's a cold, harsh, stark, beautiful tranquility around their sound and a particular quality to their music which I can't quite put my finger on. Like Norsemen sitting around a campfire chanting hymns and singing songs of mysticism and mythology. Uaral has a much more romantic and classical feel which I also adore. At times, the music can be quite depressive.

All in all, both great bands who have produced some extremely beautiful music which evokes feelings across a broad spectrum of emotion.

Yes, Empyrium! I always listen to either Ulver or Uaral when driving through rainforest, such an amazing feeling. I'm also particularly fond of these guys http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bvm1AE1b2n8. Post rock at it's best!
