Benjamin Feuerle Amazing stuff. One of my favorite albums here on Bandcamp. 10/10 Favorite track: Sullen Echoes.

H.L. Depressive black metal is an interesting genre. It can easily become a highly intensive and touching experience or an awfully boring one when there is a lack of inspiration. Fortunately, NORDICWINTER belong to first category. The atmosphere of the songs is well balanced between harsh black metal and softer, atmospheric ingredients. The raw distorted screams act as an additional instrument of despair and less to transport a lyrical massage. Check the soulful opener "Somber Winds of Despair (I)"! Favorite track: Somber Winds Of Despair (Part I).

Like a painting faded by time Murky dreams seemed so real In this tomb of desolation I can't escape the despair I feel Drowned by dismal sorrows No escape, anguish remains Within dark shadows of life lost A glimmer of hope failed to obtain I lay in this forsaken tomb Dead and lost, I waste away I lay in this forsaken tomb In darkness I shall forever stay Upon dismal winds of despair My last breath fades into mist Cold chill freezes my tears As my blood flows from my wrists (VERSE III)
2.
I see your cold corpse Laying upon the crimson leaves I hear the lost song Whispered by the dismal breeze As the crows weep above Rain falls upon frozen tears Far beyond the misty dreams I remained shrouded by her fears “I lay in this forsaken tomb Dead and lost, I waste away I lay in this forsaken tomb In darkness I shall forever stay” Sullen echoes From beyond the grave Sullen Cries A life no one could save (VERSE I, II, I)
3.
My frozen breath escapes From this corpse yet dead I breath my last breath As the white snow turns red In shadows of emptiness I will die in this darkness Alone as I always been No hope, a hatred within As the winds now call forth my name They whisper the calls from beyond In shadows of mist and rain they sing The ravens cry my lament's song My frozen breath escapes From this corpse yet dead I breath my last breath As the white snow turns red (VERSE III x2)
4.
In dismal veils of snow I fade into this tomb As fading memories Whisper eternal gloom As the crimson skies Fade into nothingness To my dismal death None shall bear witness I lay in this forsaken tomb Dead and lost, I waste away The twilight shall be forever lost In darkness I'll forever stay (VERSE I)
5.
Veiled in crimson tears I rest beyond the mist Shrouded in darken lore I sleep in death's crypt As angels take this breath I am sleep's dying memories To ride the winds of eternity Embraced by wings of death Beyond twilight's embers Melancholia's somber embrace Dreams of dying winters Death's eternal grace As angels take this breath I am sleep's dying memories To ride the winds of eternity Embraced by wings of death As the faces of despair Weep their final tears Beneath hallowed ground A death so revered Beneath the crimson moon In desolate soil I'm laid Beyond winter's shilling winds These somber dreams fade To ride the winds of eternity Embraced by wings of death
6.
I lay beneath ruins of the lost hopes. With dead eyes my tears shall not fall. In the blinding fog of the dying ghosts. As the death bells tolls, I hear their call. Fading sadness to this blackest night. In emptiness I shall die alone. Fading fog an eternal twilight. This blissful death shall be my tombstone. I lay upon the crimson stained soil. In a tomb of everlasting grief. This forsaken life that I see unfold. My death shall be my only relief. (VERSE I)

-Reviews-

"For me the album is indescribable, it just eats into my black soul." 10/10
(German) www.hellfire-magazin.de/nordicwinter-sorrow/

"If you like craft music that is both melancholic and punishing, Nordicwinter is one of those bands that falls right in that category. Be prepared to be fully immersed into the band’s misery inducing vibe with this excellent release." 93/100
www.infernalmasquerade.com?q=reviews/25436-nordicwinter-sorrow-2021

"NORDICWINTER's "Sorrow" is how something so sad and alone can also represent beauty and the silver lining inside sorrow. Don't sleep on this example of depressive atmo black metal done right." 9/10
www.metal-temple.com/site/catalogues/entry/reviews/cd_3/n_2/nordicwinter-sorrow.htm

"Sorrow is an exceptional release for fans of doomy, desolate, atmospheric black metal to get their teeth into. It confirms what I thought about Desolation; here’s an artist to pay very close attention to."
wonderboxmetal.com/2021/03/25/nordicwinter-sorrow-review/

"In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from Nordicwinter and if you are a fan of atmospheric and depressive black metal, you should check out this album." 8/10
