This three song full length was released nearly a year ago but escaped my notice until recently. October Falls hails from Finland and this, their seventh release finds the band in fine form. Fans of bands like Agalloch and Tenhi will find much to like here. From the opening strains of classical guitar to the onslaught of tortured riffs and growled vocals the eighteen minute opener evokes scenes of fimbul winter and the fall of mankind. Melodic lead guitar is used for emotional depth and is perfectly utilised throughout the album. The contrast of soft acoustic passages within epic heavy songs works well over the two opening tracks and the final song puts an exclamation point on the entire theme.
" Wounds for the future
Graves for the past
Blood to shed in order
For tomorrow to last "
