"The Archaic Shadows" 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.
Driven by fan requests, Hänninen has revisited these early demos, giving them new life with Autumnfall’s distinctive sound. The result is "The Archaic Shadows," an album that blends melodic death, black, and folk metal, offering the listener something familiar yet fresh and unique.
Recommended for fans of Obsequiae and early Fall of the Leafe, "The Archaic Shadows" is set to become a must-have for any melodic extreme metal fan. Whether you are a long-time follower of Hänninen’s work or new to Autumnfall’s haunting melodies, this release promises to be a timeless addition to your collection.
