Breathe in silence We won't pray Time can't heal us We will wither and decay When the sullen voices cry Dust will settle We're an echo of a past some deny If your vision of truth Is dressed up as a lie Then what is the point of living and dying Look outside these dark walls And discover the light That which is hidden beneath sorrow and scars When the ocean takes us in It will swallow the bitterness from within When we're drowning And losing hope Fragile moments Will save us from all of our sins
dude this is black metal at the very least, no one gives a hoot about quality. We care about passion and effort, and in some cases the lack of passion and lack of effort is what makes it even more artistically beautiful.
@fallochmusic ive heard louise brown say on her radio show on total rock that falloch sounds like fen and agalloch in both name and sound. when recomending the band to people. Both are favriote bands of mine and so when she played this I loved it instantly.
@classicrocker34 Yeah the album will be released in North America by Candlelight Records, so it should have pretty good distribution over there. It will also be available for digital download on Itunes.
@fallochmusic maybe not there are some similarities to pale folkelore, but your music is the best i have heard in my life. Thanks for the mejestic creation will always love you!
@Faxe555 I am guessing you are talking about Agalloch? We are named after a waterfall in Scotland called the Falls of Falloch. We decided that name was too long so we shortened it to 'Falloch'. We never even realised the similarities in the name until a few people brought it up recently. We don't really understand the comparisons between Falloch and Agalloch musically because we're not influenced by them at all really.
Yeah, I guess this could be labelled as post black metal. Solstafir, a famous Icelandic band, is labelled as Post Black. Coldworld, a Thuringian DSBM and Atmospheric band is also labelled as this too. Just in case you were wondering about some example bands of what people call, "Post Black Metal". In any case, no matter what people label this band as, their music is still amazing no matter what.
I like this alot mind you being mentioned alongside Agalloch isn't a bad thing. This is epic music guy's will definitely check out the album sometime soon
Oh, hahaha, I clicked this thinking it was an Agalloch song and I was really confused because I'd never heard of the album this was off of and I was about to freak out for not having Agallochs full discography. But this is still good, so I'm glad I made that mistake.
Just discovered these guys - pretty good! Someone help me here, my top 3 bands are Agalloch, Alcest, Les Descrets. I can't find any new bands like these. Recommend some please? :) I definitely hear Alcest similarities in here, but hey you can't reinvent the wheel every time!
I just discovered them also like right now! Check out Lantlos, the song I'd recommend is Eribo: I Collect the Stars. I think it's Neige's band actually. But all the songs are pretty awesome. Agalloch and Alcest are two of my favorite bands. I was lucky enough to see Agalloch play live. I dig Les Descrets also, but I need to give em more listens. You should also check out Fen, Ammeosaurs, Deafheaven (really intense band), Altar of Plagues, (Their new album is really out there, give it a few listens it will be worth your while) and Wolves in the throne.And I'm sure there's more!
Thanks for the replies, I have Ammeoseurs have a few very nice songs! Lantlos are next on my list! I also like Novembre and If These Trees Could Talk! Cloudkicker are also excellent! I will check out every band you have mentioned!
These are a bit different from your bands, but they are still awesome: -Dopamine -Shyy -Dernier Martyr (this one is the heaviest of these) -Lantlos -Akaitsuki -Closed Room -Somniaferum And specially listen to the split "The World Comes To An End in the End Of A Journey"; my favorite album up to date.
I don't know why people keep saying this resembles Agalloch... I'm a HUGE Agalloch fan, and I don't really hear Agalloch in there. The only similarities I REMOTELY see are a few genre ties... If ANYTHING, the only resemblance I see is to Alcest, especially during the latter half.. But this band is certainly it's own entity... Give credit where it's due, even if you don't like it, don't say it's copying another band. Because they're obviously not.
@fallochmusic Well then it must be kind of a coincidence. A similar example was when people accused my band of having stolen a part from Wolves in the Throneroom, though the person who wrote it never listened to them... we should probably take it as compliments.. And good to know from where you got that name! Looking forward to the album, the two songs I heard sound really promising.
Musical coincidences of similarty can happen pretty easily, especially since that can be pretty subjective. And.. Falls of Falloch, isn't that somewhere near Loch Lomond?
Getting compared to Agalloch is complimentary as hell in my opinion (probably my favorite band) but yeah I'm not really hearing the similarity. I'll be looking for this album though, good stuff!
Just once, i'd like to read comments on a youtube video and not see people bitching and whining. Do all of you just hate humanity that much? Do you treat people like this in real life? At some point, we are going to have to realize that this internet thing is just unhealthy for us as a whole. Speaking for myself as well.
post black metal? I mean just listen to the guitar within the first 5 minutes, that sounds pretty black metal to me. Now I know they arent traditional or have corpse paint, and they are probably more shoegaze like alcest but still I feel it :).
Check Agalloch, too? Without 'The Mantle' Falloch wouldn't even exist. Scheiss auf Metal Hammer, dieses gottverdammte Kommerzheft. Metal Hammer should write about Agalloch first, because this guys are active since more than 15 years and never got the attention they deserve.
Tour with Agalloch, Alcest, Fen, and Les Discrets and I will ritualistically kill myself in the parking lot of the venue. Just kidding. But ide come to the show and buy some merch!
Breathe in silence
We won't pray
Time can't heal us
We will wither and decay
When the sullen voices cry
Dust will settle
We're an echo of a past some deny
If your vision of truth
Is dressed up as a lie
Then what is the point of living and dying
Look outside these dark walls
And discover the light
That which is hidden beneath sorrow and scars
When the ocean takes us in
It will swallow the bitterness from within
When we're drowning
And losing hope
Fragile moments
Will save us from all of our sins
oh beautiful falls of falloch what a backdrop for such rocking metal and sorrow music !!!
This is utterly fantastic
Seen these guys live a couple of month back. By far the second best band that night.
It's been a year since I first heard this, and I still adore it completely!
this is one of the best bands, up there with Agalloch!
dude this is black metal at the very least, no one gives a hoot about quality. We care about passion and effort, and in some cases the lack of passion and lack of effort is what makes it even more artistically beautiful.
Falloch = LIFE.
Such possessing melodies!
Just...beutyful and cold
@fallochmusic ive heard louise brown say on her radio show on total rock that falloch sounds like fen and agalloch in both name and sound. when recomending the band to people. Both are favriote bands of mine and so when she played this I loved it instantly.
Effin' brilliant....best song I've heard all year...soo pumped to hear the rest!
beautiful song
3:44 - 5:05 That is The most beautiful thing I have ever heard.
Really fantastic stuff.
The fact this is scottish makes me so fucking happy. My national pride is swelling... You simply must tour.
Where has this been all my life?
+VileInsomniaxe I exactly know what you are saying mate! :)
Very beautiful, especially the post-rock bit. I'll definitely be purchasing this album ASAP.
Great band , amazing music .
I can't stop listening to this!:)
this is beautiful!!!!!!!!!!
@classicrocker34 Yeah the album will be released in North America by Candlelight Records, so it should have pretty good distribution over there. It will also be available for digital download on Itunes.
Your music is so relaxing!
So I kept reading about these guys in magazines and reviews and stuff, and never really thought to give them a serious listen.
Wow.
Beautiful, atmospheric stuff. Can't wait for the release, already pre-ordered a copy! Looking forward to hearing more from you guys.
Amazing , greetings from mexico .
I love this music
This is amazing!
Thank God for Terrorizer magazine, without it I would never know about this incredible band :P
August 2013 was magic! Thank youDan! :D
yes yes, this is great, curious for the other songs on the album
It is cool to know my favorite band Deftones is a big influence for you guys. :)
Awesome song :3
GREAT album guys! Carry on please!
@fallochmusic maybe not there are some similarities to pale folkelore, but your music is the best i have heard in my life. Thanks for the mejestic creation will always love you!

You guys are so talented. Keep it up ♥
Only one album but they're one of my biggest inspirations, probably because the stuff I write sounds similar to theirs.
@fallochmusic I'll certainly give it a shot. There's potential here.
"if your vision of truth is dressed up as alie
what is the point of living and dying?"
*goosebumbs* this is awesome i llove this
I like this alot mind you being mentioned alongside Agalloch isn't a bad thing. This is epic music guy's will definitely check out the album sometime soon
Wow Amazing Song
You guys are amazing
damn, i wish i had this music when i was in scotland earlier this year..
That's an interesting accent the singer has there. Never realised Scottish people sounded so American. Good music none the less.
Oh, hahaha, I clicked this thinking it was an Agalloch song and I was really confused because I'd never heard of the album this was off of and I was about to freak out for not having Agallochs full discography. But this is still good, so I'm glad I made that mistake.
Wow...
I'd love some depressive black metal vocals on this
@nebzero And Gallowbraid!
This is excellent
@lewisb187
Also Falloch ("Falach" in Scottish Gaelic) means "hidden/in hiding".
damm this is realy good
Damn, great track.
Look outside these dark walls
And discover the light
you guys rule. 'Mon the Falloch!
Pretty good.
I somehow like it. This feels like watching a dramatic film.
Just discovered these guys - pretty good! Someone help me here, my top 3 bands are Agalloch, Alcest, Les Descrets. I can't find any new bands like these. Recommend some please? :)
I definitely hear Alcest similarities in here, but hey you can't reinvent the wheel every time!
I just discovered them also like right now!

Check out Year of no Light, Woods of Ypress, The Last Days...
Thanks for the replies, I have Ammeoseurs have a few very nice songs! Lantlos are next on my list! I also like Novembre and If These Trees Could Talk! Cloudkicker are also excellent! I will check out every band you have mentioned!
Check also Kauan, Sideris Noctem, The Morningside.
These are a bit different from your bands, but they are still awesome:
-Dopamine
-Shyy
-Dernier Martyr (this one is the heaviest of these)
-Lantlos
-Akaitsuki
-Closed Room
-Somniaferum
And specially listen to the split "The World Comes To An End in the End Of A Journey"; my favorite album up to date.
this band is really contrived
is that photo in the video the hill next to ardgryffe park when it snowed last year ? :P
I don't know why people keep saying this resembles Agalloch... I'm a HUGE Agalloch fan, and I don't really hear Agalloch in there. The only similarities I REMOTELY see are a few genre ties...

Yeah man.
Oh holy shit this stuff is fantastic. Good work!
love this when will you guys be touring
This is some awesome shit. Love it.
Where did you see "This is black metal" ?
Want to know ill you be selling merch at Candle fest?
vocals similar to Elliot Smith
based
what do the lyrics mean?
When are they next playing?Xx
HOW DO I GET THIS
@fallochmusic interestingly aesop of agalloch has said the same thing,
Actually, yes . . . that's why I like it :D
So....why are this band not on Metal-Archives?
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Is there a way to purchase this album in the states?
@fallochmusic
Influenced or not, keep with the great work.
and i would be surprised if you are not influenced by Novembre, coz the similarities in music AND voice are Extremely alike..
move your arses and get this album out
Sounds good! heard of you thanks to Metal Hammer ;)
@kjdfkjdfkj It's only cause they both end in 'alloch' and they're both extremely melancholy... other than that, I don't hear the similarity either :/
Agalloch wins !!!
Great music, but why would you choose this name if you're not a cover band or something?
This doesn't sound like Agalloch, sounds like Falloch.
the only resemblance i can hear here is to Italian- Novembre.
Just once, i'd like to read comments on a youtube video and not see people bitching and whining. Do all of you just hate humanity that much? Do you treat people like this in real life?
At some point, we are going to have to realize that this internet thing is just unhealthy for us as a whole. Speaking for myself as well.
7 people don't like meaningful music
He's probably right about Agalloch though.
post black metal? I mean just listen to the guitar within the first 5 minutes, that sounds pretty black metal to me. Now I know they arent traditional or have corpse paint, and they are probably more shoegaze like alcest but still I feel it :).
Check Agalloch, too? Without 'The Mantle' Falloch wouldn't even exist. Scheiss auf Metal Hammer, dieses gottverdammte Kommerzheft. Metal Hammer should write about Agalloch first, because this guys are active since more than 15 years and never got the attention they deserve.
Agalloch IS Black metal mate, along with doom, progressive, folk, post-rock.
Agalloch is not black metal. It's still an amazing band though... or was...
Tour with Agalloch, Alcest, Fen, and Les Discrets and I will ritualistically kill myself in the parking lot of the venue.
Just kidding. But ide come to the show and buy some merch!
Influenced for Opeth XD
