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

Why did it take me so long to find these guys? Apocalyptic dark folk visions of nature wiping clean the ugly stain of humanity from her infinite beauty...what's not to love? The ritualistic repetitive droning and chanted vocal elements remind me powerfully of what I used to like best about Current 93. Deeply moving. Dave Aftandilian

I hear a clear Enslaved vibe, tastefully complemented with echoes from the new wave of north americana prog death, which might not even be a thing. unidual
