Fall Of The Leafe

Fall Of The Leafe was an interesting Finnish band whose decade-long career was defined by originality and making music on their own terms. It all started with 1997's Evanescent, Everfading featuring a blend of melodic death metal and pronounced folk influences (at times bringing Skyclad to mind), with quiet passages interspersed with more aggressive riffing providing a rich and varied style. By the time of 2002's Fermina, though, the folk influences were completely gone, the vocals of Tuomas Tuominen are a clean croon, and the musical style is more in the gothic rock camp, with occasional nods to the Gothenburg melodic death riffing style being the only real link to their earlier work. As their career progressed, ultimately spanning six albums, it was clear that this was a band never afraid to experiment or stray from the fads of the day. They announced their retirement in August 2007.
