Yawning Druid Nubiferous is simply my favorite artist in this genre. I have every release, and this one is just one of many incredible soundscapes portrayed by the artist. Folk and tribal melodies blend with a deep, contrasting spiritual darkness to make ambience that is perfect for anything. I listen to this while I read, study, write, cook, shower, anything. Perfect soundtrack for life.

Review in Stranger Aeons by Guido Segers. Nubiferous is no novice act in the ambient/folk soundscape realm and produces a sound that is akin to other acts in the Black Mara stable. It blends the elements together to create an almost soundtracky/filmic experience for the listener. The origin of the act is the Russian town of Pyatigorsk and the man behind it seems to be called Andrey.
‘Primeval Forest Hymns’ looks like a book and I guess apart from my film comparison, that is pretty much a great way to depict and present something that has so many different stories to tell. So time to get into this I suppose.
This album opens in the most annoying way possible, by the approaching sound of a moskito as if it’s right in your ear. Luckily that immediately shifts to horns and a tribal rhythm. Obviously there’s a lot of that traditional folk with blaring horns and the rhytmic drumming, but the most fascinating part is how natural sounds are blended in together with the music. For example ‘Ridge of Fiery Owls’, where traditional instruments and birds form the sound together.
The connecting of the two worlds of nature and culture feels like a step back into the forest, a movement from one towards the other. The trickling of water, the chiming of bells, the sound of the forest and gentle toms, it’s all in harmony, melting together in the clean, pleasant mix. Sometimes a folk melody emerges, but more often, like on ‘Old Forest Cult \ Rise of Shadethicket Beast’, the nature elements are the most present. Sometimes the sound is eastern, sometimes very Slavic, but it always feels so natural and unrestrained.
It’s a record full of beauty, poetry and harmony and you should just let yourself be engulfed by it, like nature encroaches upon the musician. stranger-aeons.com/underground-sounds-nubiferous-primeval-forest-hymns/
