That moment when I passed away,
Before my eyes the whole life floated.
I turned into a ghost, my memory went astray,
My spirit to the sky was restlessly devoted.
That day has come to comprehend –
How great was my lifetime’s turn,
But everyone forgot or failed,
During a storm, to care for my sepulchral urn…
I left in peace, without any pain.
Only severe frost stroked my skin gently.
It gave my soul the cure to sustain,
Showing the dark and timeless swampy entry.
That moment when my heart got cold,
Aloudly for help my soul called!
In the dark sky hole for a door I sought,
But all my dreams were brought to mould.
That day has come to comprehend –
How great was my lifetime’s turn,
But everyone forgot or failed,
During a storm, to care for my sepulchral urn…

After listening to Ysyry Mollvün, listening to Downfall of Nur was urgent and turned out to be one of the best decisions I have made in quite some time: Umbras de Barbagia is simply magisterial; the atmosphere can hardly be compared to anything else. There is a deep, palpable connection to nature imbueing each very fibre of this record. The amalgamation of black metal and folk elements is done with a high intuition for detail and class, resulting in a highly immersive experience. Wonderful. David Fischer

I bought their other album, Spleen, months ago, and then just recently bought this one ... without even listening to it first. Thankfully Revenant is also amazing, serving as the perfect precursor to their more recent material. Tom's Reviews

Si "enfant" vient du latin "infans" ou "[celui] qui ne parle pas", alors The Grand Contraction, deuxième opus de The Foetal Mind, est un vrai retour en enfance : mis à part "Big Crunch", toutes les pistes sont instrumentales. Par ailleurs, le quartette français joue tout avec ce qui lui passe sous la main, il prend des risques en oubliant la peur de trébucher : en plus du doom metal, il combine metal classique avec black metal atmosphérique et blackgaze avec un talent assez unique. Audacieux ! Jordan Vauvert
Crushing blackened doom from this German band that counterbalances blinding fury with moments of surprising, melancholy melody. Bandcamp New & Notable Jul 8, 2023

L'horizon est paradoxal, à la fois porte d'entrée vers l'infini mais aussi un mur qui bloque notre regard. Ekove Efrits le transcende dans son troisième album Conceptual Horizon, il le met à la merci de son imagination. Hypermnesia a été un tournant pour le one-man band iranien qui fait de cette nouvelle création un théâtre du monde au nombre d'acteurs et de décors quasiment illimité. C'est un des albums de black metal dépressif les plus éclectiques que je connaisse : un grand coup de maître ! Jordan Vauvert
