Ulver have announced the passing of their longtime keyboard player Tore Ylwizaker over the weekend, aged 54. The Norwegian band confirmed the sad news on social media, and that they will be taking a break to grieve their loss.
"It is with black holes in our hearts we have to inform you that our brother for over nearly thirty years, Tore Ylvisaker (Ylwizaker), is dead," they wrote. "He passed on in the night of 16 August, his 54th birthday. It is all too much to take in at the moment. We will return as soon as we have collected ourselves. Rest in peace, dearest friend. We love you, forever."
Tore first appeared with Ulver on 1998's Themes From William Blake's The Marriage of Heaven And Hell album, and continued with them up to 2020's Flowers Of Evil. He also engineered, produced and mixed records by Ihsahn, Mayhem, Star Of Ash and Arcturus, among others.
Kerrang! send our deepest condolences to Tore's family, friends and bandmates.
