I'm listening the album for a few years. This perpetual story is always taken me faraway to the dream snowy land.

Vicious funeral doom from Portugal, “Ossadas” hammers away like a rain of comets, fiery & relentless.

A blackened doom concept record about the very real problem of amphibian extinction, “Croak” is a punishing, essential listen.

Joseph Hawker subverts the musical and sociopolitical status quo with a black metal triptych that's as incendiary as it is impressionistic.

Umbras de Barbagia
by Downfall of Nur
supported by 20 fans who also own “Illuminance”
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.
