Falloch (Scotland)

Falloch was formed in Glasgow, Scotland in 2010 by Andy Marshall and Scott McLean.

Their aim is to create music which conveys atmosphere and emotion through a wide variety of styles including Metal, Post-Rock and Folk inspired by the atmosphere of bands such as Alcest, Agalloch and Primordial, as well as minimalist composers such as Yann Tiersen and Arvo Pärt.

The lyrics focus around the themes of nostalgia, sorrow, nature and longing. Having a deep connection with the Scottish landscape, the band took their name from the Falls of Falloch waterfall in Crianlarich.

They started recording their debut album 'Where Distant Spirits Remain' in 2010. Upon completion they managed to secure legendary producer Ronan Chris Murphy (Ulver, King Crimson etc.) to master the album in early 2011, with the chance to sign to the revered Candlelight Records shortly after.

With the release of the album in summer 2011 Falloch are looking to have a full-line up so as to bring their music to the live stage.

Unbelievable how curious I am on this record. Guess it'll blow my mind far, far away.

It probably will be my album of the year...

Album of the year, no doubt.

Beside the well-known We are Gathering Dust and The Carrying Light, Where We Believe and Beyond Embers and the Earth are terribly strong. Not my album of the year, may appear on the top 5, though.

Really great record but you know, it's related to BM in a lot of ways so at some point I would call it post-black.
