REVIEW: Watch Me Fall - Worn KTOK Records, 2001
7/10
Watch Me Fall - Worn - cover art The Finnish band Watch Me Fall started their career in 1997 by playing Paradise Lost covers. After having released two demos they have now signed with the new Finnish label KTOK Records and recorded their debut album. Except for being somewhat melancholic this album doesn't have much in common with Paradise Lost. Watch Me Fall has instead turned themselves into a melodic death metal band but there are still very obvious traces of the melancholic feeling of gothic metal. If you know of other Finnish bands like Sentenced and old Amorphis you know what kind of feeling we are talking about. Perhaps there is something special about the Finnish wilderness that induces this feeling into its inhabitants. You might say that they sound like a mix of old In Flames (their "Lunar Strain" and "The Jester Race" albums) and modern My Dying Bride. Whatever comparisons you try to make Watch Me Fall have managed to record a very interesting and atmospheric debut album which is something they should be credited for. There is however more heaviness and sadness than speed and rage on this album so if these are your only criterias for good music you should stay away from this. The growling vocals are very powerful and strong and if you enjoy doom, gothic and death metal this is a suitable mix for you.
