Falloch is a Scottish atmospheric project formed in 2010, primarily associated with the 'post-black metal' and 'blackgaze' movements, though they lean heavily into folk and post-rock. Founded by Andy Marshall (who later gained fame with Saor) and Scott McLean, the band's identity is inextricably linked to the Scottish Highlands.
Their debut, 'Where Distant Spirits Remain', was mastered by Ronan Chris Murphy, signaling a high-fidelity approach to a typically lo-fi genre. Following Marshall's departure in 2012, the project evolved through various lineups, maintaining a core sound characterized by dynamic shifts from delicate acoustic passages to dense, reverb-soaked walls of sound. Critically, they are noted for bridging the gap between the minimalist sensibilities of Arvo Pärt and the heavy, emotive structures of bands like Alcest or Agalloch. Their work is a cornerstone of the UK's 'atmospheric' scene, emphasizing environmental connection and introspective grief over traditional metal themes.
