Portland, Maine's Falls Of Rauros have returned with a new recording which continues the folk influenced style of black metal from previous releases and this is a review of their 2019 album "Patterns In Mythology" which will be released on July 19th by Gilead Media.
A very heavy, atmospheric and melodic sound starts off the album along with the solos and leads also utilizing a great amount of melody as well as adding elements of post metal onto the recording. When the music speeds up a decent amount of blast beats and tremolo picking can be heard which also gives the music more of a raw feeling.
Vocals are mostly high pitched black metal screams while the songs also add in a decent mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts. Most of the tracks are very long and epic in length along with all of the musical instruments having a very powerful sound to them and when acoustic guitars are utilized they bring elements of folk music onto the recording.
At times the vocals also go into more of a deeper direction along with some keyboards also being added into some parts of the music as well as one track also introducing clean vocals onto the recording. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics cover failure, victory, celebration and resignation themes.
In my opinion this is another great sounding album from Falls Of Rauros and if you are a fan of folk influenced atmospheric black metal, you should check out this recording. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Weapons Of Refusal" and "Memory At Night". 8 out of 10.
