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

Honestly, this might be favorite release from these guys. While the sprawling nature of the songs on Griseus (and to a lesser extent, Bellum I) allow for a lot of great stuff to be shown off, I need to be in a specific mood to appreciate them.
Arbor doesn't really have that problem, however. This EP has a manageable length that still leaves me satisfied at the end of the day. Plus, all four of the songs here are among the best the band has to offer in general. honeycombguy

I was always intrigued by this group's choice of album covers, it isn't every day that you see high quality space photos in this genre despite the rise of "cosmic" black metal. But the music blew me away, this sounds like Austere took the atmospheric spacey route. (I will assume it's a coincidence that both bands are Australian) porcelainheart-
