A lengthy hike in the forest has the potential to enchant and terrify. Scenery blends into a comforting and stunning array of landmarks and natural treasures that stir deep emotions and open a direct link to something far more spiritual than ones often mundane routine. The uncertainty and fear of ones surroundings mounts when the realization hits that you have become lost in the wilderness. The landscapes become unrecognizable, cold and threatening. Darkness falls. Alone. The music of Falls of Rauros encompasses such a trek through untamed lands. With a world building atmosphere emitting from the core of their sound, beauty, mysticism and an unsettling edge are all key factors to this bands stunning form of folk influenced black metal. With The Light That Dwells in Rotten Wood, the bands evolution has reached a powerful zenith of creativity and raw passion. It has been a journey...

"Listening to this record, it's easy to envision being around a crackling fire in the middle of the woods, with owls calling behind you, and even though it would take a good bit of cords draped through the trees to accomplish this, the band's colorful, melodic black metal being dropped over you like a drape. It would be the ideal setting." - Meat Mead Metal 

"There is this sense of aged appreciation lurking withing Falls of Rauros; a stylistic nod to their Norwegian and Swedish forebears which gives the music here on The Light That Dwells In Rotten Wood a leg up on their USBM competition." Metal Army America

  

"One of the most ambitious and brilliant bands to ever emerge from the US black metal scene." - The Inarguable

Earth's Old Timid Grace

Banished

Awaiting The Fire Or Flood That Awakes It

Nonesuch River Chant

Silence

The Cormorants Shiver On Their  Rocks

Falls of Rauros formed in late 2005 and at the time was composed of Ray and Aaron. The band partially wrote, partially improvised demo songs in a shack in their home town of Portland, Maine between November 2005 and May 2006. This became the self-released Into the Archaic album which was released as an extremely limited run in June 2006, yet successfully launched what would become a musical journey rich in emotive and woodland/folk charged black metal. Shortly thereafter Falls added 2 members, Jordan and Kevin, in order to write music as a unit and begin playing live shows. In early 2007, the Of Stone and the Stars in the Sky demo was completed which was sent to a couple small labels. The Canada based Morbid Winter Records liked it and decided to release a full-length record. The band wrote and rehearsed throughout the remainder of 2007 and recorded their first "official" full-length that winter. Hail Wind and Hewn Oak was released in July of 2008 and was met with critical acclaim.

Since then Falls of Rauros underwent some turmoil and parted ways with their drummer. This became a period of low activity, as the band had difficulty finding an appropriate drummer in the Portland area. During this time Austin Lunn of the bands Panopticon and Seidr offered his services as a guest drummer. Falls of Rauros agreed and began to work with him on the new material that would become the stunning, The Light That Dwells in Rotten Wood. Austin recorded the drum tracks himself at his home in Louisville and Falls of Rauros recorded/engineered the rest of the album at their practice space in Portland. This controlled environment ensured the most clear and potent sound, by far the best that  Falls of Rauros has yet to achieve.

Frustrated by not being able to perform live, Ray has since become the drummer. Jordan moved from bass to guitar and the addition of Evan on bass completed the line-up for future endeavors. The band has participated in several tours, along with a trek into Canada and has plans to tour more extensively towards the end of 2011/beginning of 2012. Falls of Rauros are one of the US scenes most ambitious and creative entities and are fighting to become a name  wider known here and abroad.

Bindrune is pleased to announce the signing of Portland, Maine's Falls of Rauros!! 

For have always been a well honed and eclectic American black metal band, but as they have progressed, their art has taken on an even more impressive and beautiful atmosphere as their songs developed and writing style grown to carry the listener deep into the woods with classical and folk elements. The bands first full-length release for Bindrune Recordings, The Light That Dwells in Rotten Wood, is a stirring collection of majestic melodies and a primordial essence that embraces the staples of the black metal genre, but the spirit and atmosphere of the music goes far beyond the realms of modern man. Expansive soundscapes. Beautiful folk/classical compositions.Organic black metal urgency that awakens the listeners yearning for the forest.

The Light That Dwells in Rotten Wood is currently being mastered at Sacred Sound Studios and we look forward to unleashing this CD in June. The LP version will surface by the end of the year as Bindrune will be working with Flenser Records to bring this opus to the analog format. More details on that, and a FoR band page will surface on this site in the coming days/months.

Until then, an excerpt of the track, "Nonesuch River Chant" has been added to the "Music Player" section for a sneak peek of what's to come...
