Deixademe morrer no bosque

Deixademe morrer no bosque (Let me die in the forest) is the second full-length album from Sangre de Muerdago, led by Pablo C. Ursusson. Released in 2012, it solidified the project's transition from the crust-punk roots of its members into a sophisticated, highly technical chamber folk ensemble. The album is sung entirely in Galician, further grounding it in the specific cultural and geographical identity of Northwest Spain. Sonically, the record is defined by the interplay of nylon-string guitars and the nyckelharpa, a traditional Swedish keyed fiddle that provides a unique, reedy drone. Critically, it is often cited as a high-water mark for the 'dark folk' movement, praised for its organic production and its ability to evoke a sense of 'saudade' - a deep, nostalgic longing. It stands as a bridge between traditional Iberian folk and the more avant-garde neofolk scenes of Northern Europe.
