So I feel that metal stopped growing as art form around the end of the 90s, as black metal became increasingly avant garde and ambitious. Ulver, in a nutshell, seemed to follow the trend pretty precisely. Bands like Arcturus, In the Woods, Solefald, Therion, Empyrium and the Prophecy bands, Summoning and the Napalm bands, in my opinion, took the genre as far out as it could go.
Do you feel that metal is still progressing and improving or has it been stuck in a rut, doing more of the same over the past 15 years or so?
