Niburta was formed late 2009 by a band of friends under the name „Tardos”, who even till this day form the creative core of the band: Anna Németh, János Krieser and Balázs „Busó” Hormai. After a long period of castings, rehearsals and member changes the band takes up the name „Niburta” and enters the studio to record their first demo „Eredet”. The demo was a definite succes, resulting in an explosion in fandom and several international gigs such as Slovakia and the Czech Republic.
In the middle of 2011 the band recorded it's first EP, „Awakening”, which provided them with and extra boost to their rapidly growing popularity. From here the flow of events sped up: the band performed several smaller gigs, and also blasted the stages of the Folk-Rock Marathon of Budapest in January, and the Rockmaraton Festival this July. Niburta was also invited to several foreign gigs, and was among the main performers during the International Beltine Fest Tour 2012 in Slovakia, Slovenia, and Hungary.
This spring brought about some changes in the band's lineup too, reforming one third of the band, but creating a more stable and dedicated group.
Forgotten Path
Niburta Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Covered with ashes
Our deceased now forgotten
As there is no blessing to come from
The hand of the ancestor of sun
Brothers, remember of your fathers
Who lived and died on this earth
On their black headboards in your souls
Spritis surrounding as like old trees
On the darkened road towards the forest
Recall forgotten memory
Of a thousand-year-old nation
Used to pray for nature
Used to be burnt by wild pride
I am the earth, I give life
I am the fire, I purify
The lyrics to Niburta's "Forgotten Path" speak of ancient knowledge and the passing of time that has left our ancestors forgotten and covered in ashes. The hand of the ancestor of the sun no longer blesses us and the memories of those who lived and died on this earth are fading. The spirits continue to surround us, like old trees on a darkened road towards the forest, urging us to recall the forgotten memories of a once great nation. This nation once prayed for nature and was burnt with wild pride, but now that pride and knowledge has seemingly disappeared.
Throughout the song, the lyrics explore themes of nature, spirituality, and the passing of time. The idea of being forgotten and the loss of ancient knowledge is particularly poignant, as it emphasizes the fleeting nature of time and the need to appreciate and honor our ancestors. The use of nature imagery, such as old trees and the earth and fire that give life and purity, also serves to connect us to our world and our past.

Not a ripoff by any means but the sound of this is still quite... "Eluveitish" (which IS a plus for me). A great track and a band in general. I hope it gets more recognition. Cheers from Ukraine!)

Really, I do not know why there is a comparison between Niburta and Eluveitie. IMO Hungarians are 1000 times better. Hail brothers and sister! Regards from Bulgaria.

jóféle, kicsit Eluveitis, csak jobbak a dallamok :)

a kettőnek annyi köze van egymáshoz, hogy ha egymás mellé állítjuk őket akkor az Eluveitie teljesen eltűnik a képből :D
