Written in Waters


Written in Waters is the debut studio album by the Norwegian avant-garde metal band Ved Buens Ende. It is the only album the band released before they disbanded.
Jillian Drachman of Loudwire described the album as "a poetic and cerebral mind-bending voyage into the thorn-pierced heart of romance." She said the album "contains a Daliesque quality within its hallucinatory dreamscapes," and that the album also contains "futuristic vibes."

    Critical reception

Written in Waters is considered to be ahead of its time. William York of AllMusic wrote, "Ved Buens Ende's sole full-length, Written in Waters, is an album of esoteric, experimental black metal that, years after its release, still sounds like nothing else."
