Contradictory Notes

by Fall of the Idols

supported by

Bertrand Marchal I've been following Fall of The Idols since their beginning. It's one of those rare "trad" doom bands that captivate my extreme doom listener's ears. Nobody seems to care about them though. A very meager feedback that confirms the reason why I like them: it's dark and brooding, melancholic and desperate. Not at all the usual gitar-driven semi-doom rock-roll affair the endless BS followers are chain-producing.

about

Contradictory Notes is the 4th studio album by Fall of the Idols.

Around the same time the 3rd album Solemn Verses came out the band had raw song material enough for a double album, but the idea for a fourth FOTI-album was to be put on hiatus after the band’s drummer, Hannu, committed suicide — Hannu’s drumming can be heard on the opening title “Vicissitudes”. Still, it was decided that’d be best to finish the song material that had accumulated over time. Some of the songs didn’t quite fit with rest of the material and the general atmosphere, so they were finished first; these four ‘discarded’ songs are ”Contradictory Notes”.

Around 36 minutes in length, ”Contradictory Notes” is heavily centered on various aspects of power, individual vs collective, and the timeless concepts of alienation and social division – classic undertones for doom and gloom.

“In Finland we have this thing called ‘reilu meininki’.” This is not it.

Purification work their sublime and shimmering darkness in a way that sounds like no one else. This band is a criminally underrated leader of US doom for me; true doom that sounds, well… doomed. Stately and monastic and fated for ruin. Not just as a genre moniker for any music that you can’t quite place. Their unique sound will cast a shroud over the sky above your head and their soaring melodies will have your head banging in no time. pinkytheent

My favorite material from Solstice! Despite their amazing discography that lay before this that completely set the foundation, this in my opinion is where it all comes to a mighty peak. What an amazing emotional and powerful picture painted in such a short amount of time. Talon Sullivan
