User Album Review
In comparison to past work, this album in particular is a lot more down to earth as far as the production is concerned. I can’t say I have ever heard any other album sound like this. The overall timbre of the instruments in unison is somewhat drab and pallid, it all feels very… within reach and real. This lends to it being a very intimate and personal sounding record; it also serves to highlight the ornate and lush musicality found on the record by starkly contrasting with it. To even further deliver the “realness”, this album sounds extremely well-rehearsed and live; I can’t imagine they spent much time doing punch-ins or edits.
Stylistically speaking, this record is a long progression from a foundation that is black metal; this album is barely black metal by definition. The guitar playing, the bass playing, and the drums are teeming with influences ranging from 70’s rock and country to modern post rock and a moderate amount of other US black metal. Even further removed from this album are other typical elements of your average metal album of today, such as barbarity, anger, or really any dark subject matter in general. Falls of Rauros needn’t bother themselves with any of that posturing because they clearly focus on being one thing: GREAT.
