So here it is: The Falling Tide, the fourth full-length installment by the well esteemed atmospheric black metal act Woods Of Desolation. Residing from the unlikely land of Australia, this dark atmospheric release has conveniently arrived just in time for the beginning of this dreary Dismal wintery season, and is perfect for reflecting on the depressively grim emotions that come with these wintery atmospheric settings. But does The Falling Tide provide the listener with the former majestic beauty the previous releases possessed?

Probably D. has changed the singer once again...

First 2 singles aren't bad but give me the same wish I had about As The Stars: a better production.

Decent melodies, very clearly WoD. Not a big fan of his own vocals though. And after listening I can't help thinking that I just heard the same song five times (with "The Passing..." being the odd one out).

Only listened once but i thought it had the torn beyond reason sound without the amazing atmosphere. Definitely needs more listens though.

Enchanting melodies as expected but lacked that magical atmosphere. It's not quite Torn Beyond Reason quality but not a bad release regardless. I can understand what people mean about the production though, for me it's too clean, would have preferred a rougher mix, but that's just me I guess.

Definitly much closer to blackgaze than Torn Beyond Reason was (havent listened to the one in between since it came out, but I have a feeling that one was already going in this direction?)

Yeah As the stars was a lot more black gaze, I guess this album is a mix of both but reminds me more of torn

Not feeling the atmosphere plus the vocals become tiresome after a couple of songs. Definitely not for me...

This is the first release of WoD that I did not enjoy much. It is definitely not on the same level. There quite a few memorable moments: the outro of "Beneath A Sea Of Stars" and "The Passing…".
