considerably more aggressive than his usual tracks, but no less beautiful or poignant.
One of the best albums of 2015:

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
If you're going to go out in apocalyptic style you might want to have the 40 minute title track playing loud at your side. Bandcamp New & Notable Nov 12, 2013
Crushing blackened doom from this German band that counterbalances blinding fury with moments of surprising, melancholy melody. Bandcamp New & Notable Jul 8, 2023
When I first listened to this I was surprised by the choise to use the russian alphabet, but mid listen it became clear. Bròn have so clearly orchestrated an album which feels as if it was written in the russian wilderness among the trees. There is this complete rawness to the album, yet it still has what I think is synth which is what brings me back to Bròn time and time again. I think this equals Fògradh and I have a tie for my favorite black metal song. clouddasher
