Faal is established in 2005 at the south of the Netherlands. The band's music is mainly doom-metal oriented with touches of black-metal and post-rock. Their first album "Abhorrence-Salvation" was released in 2008 at Ván Records. This album received many good reviews, which resulted in a sold out first printing. Beside their recordings, they've also build up a good live reputation and shared stages with among others Ataraxie, Isole, Forgotten Tomb, The Ocean, October Tide and Mourning Beloveth. In 2011 Faal went back to the studio to record their second full-length called "The clouds are burning". "The clouds are burning" was recorded by Faal and Harry van Erp, between march and may 2011. Later on Faal went to the Priory Recording Studios in Great Britain, to mix and master the album in collaboration with Greg Chandler (Esoteric). Finally this resulted in a massively sounding album consisting of four tracks, which are dealing with subjects such as the human psyche, the state of being tortured, the road to madness and inner conflicts
