Reviews: Nordic melancholic Art, very much in the vein of Tenhi or Ulver's acoustic moments. Cello, soft piano tones, choir and acoustic guitar weave beautiful melodies on this release.
Dark Horizon ventures deep into dark forests of Finland to bring you the latest release from October Falls Marras is magical and emotional art to say the least in regards to this recording. This is the direction long since abandoned by Ulver and recently embraced by bands such as Tenhi and Empyrium and now October Falls Dark sad and melancholic acoustic art described as minimalistic dark folk played with acoustic instruments. When thinking of other bands, there are similarities with names such as Ulver (Kveldsjanger), Empyrium and even Tenhi. Higly recommended!!!
