Review by Rick Eaglestone
8/10
Australian visionaries Woods of Desolation return after eight years with brand new album “The Falling Tide.”
The Grandiose opening to this return ‘Far From Here’ sets the tone for the entire tone for the album as it’s embedded with a level of raw emotion that interweaves between relenting pace with the backdrop of atmospherics, it’s like being reunited with an old friend where although a passage of time has passed it’s immediately forgotten when they are in your company. This is followed in very much the same way with ‘Beneath a Sea of Stars’ but for me this just seems to resonate with me more which is why it is my highlight track.
No short interludes required as again shrouded in deep rooted emotion is ‘Illumination’ musically the pace is not as relentless as the previous track but it would appear that the band members have incorporated soundscapes from other projects which blend in perfectly.
Finally, concluding this goosebump filled experience is title track ‘The Falling Tide’ which has some wonderful harmonious elements running throughout and even though much of the track is gentile in comparison, there is room for one last sorrowful farewell and hopefully it will not be too long before we are reunited once more with the Woods of Desolation.
Bewitching levels of woefulness.
