Fallen Short are a solo project from Detroit, Michigan that plays a mixture of black, sludge and doom metal and this is a review of his self released 2025 album "Hollow Screams Of A Withering Soul".
Keyboards start off the album before going into a heavier direction while some of the tracks are also very long and epic in length. Vocals are a mixture of death metal growls and black metal screams along with the slower sections of the songs also adding in elements of sludge and doom metal.
At times the music also gets very atmospheric sounding while the faster sections of the songs also add in a decent amount of blast beats and tremolo picking which also gives the recording more of a raw feeling. When guitar solos and leads are utilized they are done in a very dark yet melodic style.
Melodies are also added into some of the guitar riffing along with all of the musical instruments also having a very powerful sound to them as well as the songs also adding in a good mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts, spoken words can also be heard on a couple of tracks. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics cover survival, depression and societal collapse.
In my opinion Fallen Short are a very great sounding atmospheric mixture of black, sludge, doom and death metal and if you are a fan of those musical genres, you should check out this solo project. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Hollow Screams Of A Withering Soul" "Growing Bitter" and "Culling the Flock". 8 out of 10.
