VOM ERSTEN SCHNEE
*a tale of mother hulda*
Schau wie Flocken jagen!
wo kommt denn all der Schnee nur her?
Das will ich Kind dir sagen:
Frau Holle schüttet die Betten aus, vom Himmelsfenster droben. sie hat ein grosses Haus, dort zwischen den Wolken oben. drin glänzet alles schmuck und nett, wie lauter Silberschimmer. es steht dort drin ein grosses Bett, da in Frau Holles Zimmer. und gar mit Linnen ist es wohl geschmückt, die Daunen sind so weiss und rein, als wie vom Schwanenrücken und hat sie morgen sich den Schlaf aus den Augen gerieben, dann schüttelt sie die bettchen brav - das rings die Federn stieben. dann deckt sie rings die Felder zu, mit weisser Federwolle. sie schlafen dann in tiefster Ruh - schön‘ Dank dafür Frau Holle.
DER WIND
Ohohoho hahaha Hast du aber Mut
was suchst du in meinem windigen Reich - Menschlein?
GEYST DER ROUCHNAHT
Oh Stern und Schnee'es Blume
Geist und Zeit und Ewigkeit
GEVATTER TOD
Ich bin der Tod...
DER WANDERER
... Ja dann bist du mir der Rechte, du begünstigst keinen, dir ist jeder Gleich...
GEVATTER TOD
...Warum wollt ihr Menschen Ausnahmen sein? Minerale verwittern, das Gras verdorrt, die Blüten fallen ab, Tiere verwesen - der Tod ist der letzte Gnadenstoss der Natur.... ich lass von mir hören, wer mich zum Freunde hat, dem wirds an nichts fehlen.
Kinder der Armen sind dem Tod am nächsten, wie wahr. Ja, wer seinen Erlöser kennt, warum sollte der noch bangen.
TRANSLATION:
Can you see the flakes are rushing?
But from where comes the snow?
That, oh child, I shall tell you:
Mother Hulda shakes up the bed from her skyey window.
She has a big house between the clouds above
all spruce and nice inside, like everything's of silver gleam it stands a large bed in there, Mother Hulda's room
all blazoned is the linen the downs so white and pure as if of the swan's back and once sleep has rubbed from her eyes
she shakes the bed so plain that feathers fly around
thus she covers field and meadow in white feathery wool
they'll sleep in deepest calm
Thank thee, Mother Hulda
THE WIND:
Ohohoho hahaha. Courages one. What do you seek in my windy realms, little human?
THR SACRED GHOST
Oh star's and snow's blossom. Spirit and time and eternity.
THE GRIM REAPER:
I am Death...
THE SECRET STRANGER:
..So you are the one for me. You favour no one; all are equal before you.
THE GRIM REAPER:
Why do you humans deem to be exceptions? Minerals weather, grass withers, blossoms fall down, animals decompose. Death is nature's coup de grâce. I will be heard of again. Who calls me a friend will not be wanting.
The children of the poor are closest to death, how true. Indeed, who knows their master knows no reason for worry.

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

PSA: if there was an album you heard a couple years ago and thought it was ok, listen to it again and you might love it.
That's what happened to me with this album. I cannot fathom why it didn't stick with me back then. Same thing happened with Decoherence's Unitarity for that matter. Matten
Slugabed & Samuel Organ join forces to create glitchy pastoral soundscapes that feel uncannily modern and hauntingly medieval. Bandcamp New & Notable Nov 18, 2021
