Falls of Rauros have always been a well honed and eclectic American black metal band, but as they have progressed, their art has taken on an even more impressive and beautiful atmosphere as their songs developed and writing style grown to carry the listener deep into the woods with classical and folk elements. The bands first full-length release for Bindrune Recordings, The Light That Dwells in Rotten Wood, is a stirring collection of majestic melodies and a primordial essence that embraces the staples of the black metal genre, but the spirit and atmosphere of the music goes far beyond the realms of modern man. Expansive soundscapes. Beautiful folk/classical compositions. Organic black metal urgency that awakens the listeners yearning for the forest.
