This
Island, Our
Funeral is the latest long player from Scottish melancholic post-metallers, Falloch. Set for release in North America via Candlelight next week, the follow up to 2011's Where Distant Spirits Remain was tracked at London's
Orgone Studios by Jaime Gomez Arellanu (
Ghost,
Cathedral,
Ulver), and delivers nearly an hour's worth of dark, chilling odes of atmospheric beauty.
Metal Injection likens the record's sound to, "a gorgeous blend of the spirit of an
Agalloch epic with the epic
Majesty of a band like Borknagar," while Lonesome Noise notes, "Falloch
HAS created an album that soars above us like a bird of
Prey, so
Majestic, so gorgeous, yet ready to
Strike at any point without much warning. It's an album that fans of everything from
Opeth to
Jesu to
Agalloch to
Tool could find something to latch onto and one that deserves as many repeat listens as you're willing to give." Adds
Metal Purgatory in a perfect 5/5 review, "If this album can teach us anything, it is that we all come from this
Earth and that this will be our
Funeral grounds. The emotions and
Power behind this album is immense and incomparable to anything else you will experience..."
