An expansive, black metal/neo-classical piece of art that takes hold of the soul, directing its emotion with a potent combination of viola, piano, guitar, bass, drums and tormented vocals. Limited to 250 copies! here’s what the critics are saying…
Both of these bands have made thought-provoking music before, but what they accomplish here goes beyond that. This is a true spiritual collaboration, with each band digging deep into the subject matter and interpreting their thoughts and feeling on this lifelong struggle during these six tracks. “The Quivering Lights” is a record that could can fill many purposes, from serving as a blast of calm that is occasionally interrupted by thunder, to helping you expand your thinking on this matter and ho each force plays a role in your life. Nachtreich and Spectral Lore have done their parts, giving birth to this great work. Now it’s up to you hold up your end and get the most out their artistic exploration, even if that just means enjoying the music for what it is. –Meat Mead Metal
Their eloquent melancholy manifests early on the piano/violin duet of the intro piece “Lights”, which later erupts with a few distorted chords to hint at the forthcoming study in contrasts that will define this collaboration in full, but I should add that theirs is a heavy emphasis on the classical instrumentation, with the metallic pieces serving as an emotional discharge or even a diversion. –From the Dust Returned
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.
