FALLOCH Release Album Teaser
September 14, 2011, 13 years ago
Scottish ethereal metallers FALLOCH have released their digisingle 'Beyond Embers And The Earth' taken from their forthcoming album Where Distant Spirits Remain. The single also includes an unheard b-side track 'The Ghosts That Haunt This Path'. It's currently available via iTunes.
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 producer Ronan Chris Murphy (ULVER, KING CRIMSON) to master the album in early 2011, with the chance to sign to Candlelight Records shortly after. With the release of the album in summer 2011 Falloch are looking to have a full lineup so as to bring their music to the live stage. Where Distant Spirits Remain is out on Candlelight September 26th.
