Despite moving on, I will still dream
There's a brief sadness in sweet memories
And after the dawn, I will still drink
Warming the heart that bleeds of yearning
When it becomes cold, I will still mourn
Forming a fire to conflict the dark
When I am weak, I will still love
Embracing a world that yields agony
Despite being healed, I will still bleed
A wound that's been dealt from years of loathing
And after you're gone, I will still wait
Pouring a glass the rids of the pain
An honest sun fails me
Vulnerable, I wait
Patiently, I mourn
A fog cloaks the night sky
Vulnerable, I wait
Patiently, I mourn
Patiently, I crave
I will still dream
I will still drink
I will still love
I will still wait
Swirling guitars, furious drums, vocals that at the same time howl from infinite distance and are right up in your head; everything put into dissonant form with the help of unconventional songwriting. This album is my personal key to the icelanding black metal madness that I've ignored for way too long! Lukas Kaufmann
Mikolaj is a real multi-talent in bass as well as guitar as well as vocals and "Darkside" Maciej's drumming is a well-calibrated 100th-of-seconds-clockwork. Not for nothing is Mgla considered as a standard for a lot of other blacker-than-black metal bands. I hope to see this band live once..... grote_smurf
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
