Believe in no Coming Shore, Falls of Rauros’ much anticipated 3rd album, is a masterwork of emotive and passionate black metal influenced music, that finds this Maine quartet evolving even deeper into their art and love for their instruments.
Thoughts on the album run wild, for this opus finds Falls really coming in to their own special and vibrant sound. The harsh/desperately screamed vocals are still in full force, as are the fundamentals of their atmospherically charged form of black metal, but Believe in no Coming Shore unlocks a brilliant web of passionate guitar work that seizes the spirit of Americana, rock, folk and most importantly… freedom. The very thought of it spills out of this amazing work. Such careful integration feels like an extension of this bands spiritual core and the music takes on a hypnotic wanderlust to carry the listener deeper into the aether.
Due to insane delays at the pressing plant, the LP version of this release will not be available until December. Pre-orders will be announced when the gap is filled a bit.
“This album is a real success, because it’s typically what everybody expected from the band after their last efforts. After some demos and a first album which didn’t convince me, Falls of Rauros are now building a coherent and strong discography. Be it their musicianship, the feelings their songs carry or the maturity of their whole work, they’re surely one of the best american black metal acts we’ve got today.” -Ethereal Soundscapes
“Some of the heavy hitters in the world of woodsy atmospheric black metal (Agalloch, Wolves In The Throne Room) are going to have to make room for a new oak in their forest. Falls Of Rauros, from the other Portland, were always really good, but with their upcoming LP, Believe In No Coming Shore, they’re officially great.” – Stereogum
