Falloch release album teaser



Scottish Ethereal Metallers Falloch release their digisingle 'Beyond Embers And The Earth' taken from their highly anticipated upcoming album 'Where Distant Spirits Remain'. The single also includes unheard b-side track 'The Ghosts That Haunt This Path'. Combining a variety of musical styles including Post-Black Metal, Post-Rock and Scottish Folk, Falloch have already created a stir in the atmospheric Metal scene with The Metal Forge calling their album "a melancholic metal masterpiece".

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. 'Where Distant Spirits Remain' out on Candlelight 26th of September.

We went walking through the mountains and forests in the deep snow and the atmosphere was incredible. The song is about how isolated I felt at the time with only the sound of the wind to keep us company. Being so far away from urban life/culture was such a liberating feeling."
