'Mudh' was conceived during the Autumnal Equinox MMXII in recognition of the approaching darkness of the season ahead.
Mudh, from the old Indo-European language, is suggested to mean 'reflection' or 'thinking over' and in this context is used as a reflective means of journeying into and through the physical and metaphysical darkness of winter.
Through ritual motion, sound and imagery, ‘Mudh’ acts as cathartic alleviation of fear in the face of darkness and as fluidity in the cycle of life.

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
