Reviews: Imagine being high up in the mountains, and a storm gathers. You hear the clouds passing and see the animals running for shelter. The branches moan, and everything dances to the tune of the wind. Afterwards, you can hear the sun breaking through the clouds, while the whole landscape calmly calls for your attention with all its brooks and trees. Such an experience is as breathtaking and memorable as NEBELUNG’s music. NEBELUNG deafen your ears for small talk and superficiality and open them for a Nature mysticism of a kind you seldom experienced before. With the release of the NEBELUNG album "Mistelteinn", Eis & Licht seems to go back to its roots, but the truth is much more interesting. For the first time, this label presents a purely acoustic project whose level is a high one already on the debut. The musical vision of NEBELUNG becomes apparent in sophisticated compositions and the choice of lyrics (Friedrich Nietzsche etc.). We can hope for even more beautiful things to come, as this work seems to be just the beginning of an unmistakable concept. If you are fond of EMPYRIUM, FORSETI, SIGUR RÓS or the folkloristic side of ULVER, you should definitely get hold of "Mistelteinn". This CD is recommended for all mature lovers of Metal, Folk, and Gothic as well. The CD will be released in a limited edition of 600 copies in a Digifile with booklet.
