If you have never heard 'Mono' (shame on you) this is as good a place to begin as any.
A magisterial delicacy, souls skipping stones across the Phlegethon; the thrumming echoes of broken heartstrings, and the dissonant collapsing of thunderheads all -sometimes- within one track. Enjoy! vykr
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
