What is it that we crave?
Nothing less than eternal life,
An untiring soul, an unfading pleasure
The survival of identity, of memory
The never-ending growth of person-hood.
Yet, is transcendence really more of the same
Or a state unimaginable by current perspective?
I am no longer satisfied by ruminations of awe
Of knowledge partial and fragmented
I must become what I have envisioned
The structures emerge from below
Each higher one, a union of multiplicity
In which dynamics are not destroyed
But opposites are held together
In conditional, creative balance
The reconciliation of Self and Whole.
You are the inspirited matter, the last circle
You encompass all of the universe's forces inside you.
You have foreseen the Absolute.
You can create the Absolute.
As atoms (matter) converge, life emerges.
Αs life grows, consciousness (soul) evolves.
As consciousness awakes (through Gnosis), spirit arises.
As spirits (post-humans) converge, God will emerge.
A God made of flesh and consciousness.
A moment of the utmost complexity, beauty and power.
A supreme intelligence, a Noosphere, a Singularity.
Consistent of, but beyond individuality.
Is this to be the End?
Or just another step forward in the unending, spiral staircase of infinity.

never been a big death metal fan but this is actually super accessible for the genre, has fun concepts, and personally i'm always a fan of albums with short tracklists and huge runtimes (for individual songs) Great time, good jumping on point for newbies too. alienasu

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

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
