October Falls The Plague Of A Coming Age

2013, On this new offering, the band continues to explore its exquisitely sonorous world, deeply melancholic, subtly aggressive and always divinely melodic. Once again, Mikko Lehto gathered gifted musicians around him for the recording: Marko Tarwonen (Moonsorrow) on drums and Sami Hinkka (Ensiferum) on bass. A very special guest contributed clean vocals on two songs: Tomi Joutsen (Amorphis). October Falls was formed ten years ago by Mikko Lehto and the early releases TUONI and MARRAS were dark acoustic music without the harsher elements. THE PLAGUE OF A COMING AGE is a deeply melancholic, emotive journey through eras gone and yet to come, an ominous album from the soil and of the soil, seeped in the blood of fallen ancestors, paying homage to their struggles, celebrating their honour and acknowledging their sacrifice - the ultimate redemption.
