Selling CD - Extreme Metal and Dark music
Jewel case CD limited to 200 copies
"The Archaic Shadows" is the third album by Finnish melodic dark metal band Autumnfall and features re-recorded versions of tracks originally written between 1997 and 1999 for Jussi Hänninen’s previous band, Fall of the Leafe, alongside one brand-new track.
First pressing of 300 copies on jewel case CD with 12 pages booklet.
Formed in Finland in 2019 by Jussi Hänninen, best known as the primary songwriter of Fall of the Leafe between 1996 and 2007, AUTUMNFALL emerged as a continuation of the musical sensibility that characterized the earlier years of that influential band. Joined by vocalist Tero Ruohonen, Hänninen has developed the project into a vehicle for revisiting old ideas while giving them renewed shape and purpose.
Following "Ghosts of Light" (2021), "Bleak" (2022) and "The Archaic Shadows"(2024), "The Archaic Sins" once again draws heavily from the past. With just one completely new composition, the album is primarily built around songs written between 1998 and 2001, now brought into the present through fresh arrangements and performances.
The result is fluid, finely arranged melodic black metal that never needs grand gestures to make its impact. AUTUMNFALL weave melodies together continuously, allowing guitars and rhythms to move with a natural, unforced sense of progression. The music can evoke wonder one moment and bitterness the next, shifting between emotional shades without ever disrupting its graceful flow.
