Bergtatt - Et eeventyr i 5 capitler ("Taken into the Mountain - An Adventure in 5 Chapters") is the first album by the Norwegian band Ulver.
Unlike the more straightforward black metal of their contemporaries, Ulver began their career by incorporating elements of Norwegian folk music, sometimes using acoustic guitars, melody-focused songwriting and clean vocals. The lyrics are primarily in archaic Danish, while some parts are in Norwegian dialect. The acoustic aspects of the album were later isolated in their second release Kveldssanger, while the third album, Nattens madrigal, consists entirely of a "raw" black metal production and sound.
All songs written and composed by Ulver.
