Legends and myth, rites and cries
Stories past, living new life in the hands of today. Living the present, that in future will be Past.
Awakening the old. As free as the wind blown by wood and echoed by the vibrating perring fur.
Back to the land, to grass, to heather, to honey, to being.
The wolf howls under the moon
Fear covers the snow, like expanding music.
Coarse yet finished. So claim the artisan’s hands.
Urze de Lume represent a homage to the past. Strongly inspired by the Iberian tradition, their music aims to celebrate the roots which identify a people and bind them to their land.
Their repertoire transmits the surviving soul of an era in which man and nature walked hand in hand, with respect for the land, the occult and its origins.
The main features of Urze de Lume is the use of Iberian ethnic instruments such as bagpipes, war drums, horns, ancient stringed instruments among others. This combination blossoms into a powerful and unique sound that summons the very deep Lusitanian roots.

Lendas e mitos, ritos e gritos…
Histórias passadas nas mãos de hoje vivem vidas, vividas num presente, que num futuro serão passado.
Passado desperto, liberto como o vento soprado pela madeira e ecoado pela pele vibrante.
De volta à terra, à erva, à urze, ao mel, ao ser presente.
Sob a Lua uiva o lobo
Sobre a neve corre o medo, como música em expansão
Rude e sentida como a obra acabada às mãos de um artesão.
Fundado no inverno de 2009, Urze de Lume é uma forma de memória viva do imaginário ancestral português.
Fortemente inspirado pela tradição ibérica, procura através da música celebrar as raízes que unem o povo à sua terra e o identificam.
O seu repertório transmite a alma sobrevivente de uma era em que homem e natureza caminhavam lado a lado, com o respeito pela terra, pelo oculto e pela sua origem.

Still present on the collective memory of the brave Lusitanian ancestors, “Histórias de Lobos – Entre o Lume e a Escuridão” (Wolf Stories – Between the Fire and Darkness) come to us as a dark winter night, remembering that not long ago the call of the wolves of old was heard through the mountains of Portugal…
Through a blend of dark ambient, clean guitars and more harsher sounds, URZE DE LUME tries to draw the moments where wolves rise as memories, and memories arise as wolves.

“…The trees have grown dry and bare, as have I…”
The second and final chapter of URZE DE LUME‘s ode to Autumn. On their third album, URZE DE LUME turn inwards for a soothing journey which illustrates not only departure, but also homecoming, meticulously setting to music memories imbued with both nostalgia and longing.
Bonds to both Nature and tradition are at the heart of the band’s rendition of Dark Folk, and both skillfully come together on this acoustic introspective incursion into life’s ever-looming solitude.
