“Leaves are falling all around, time I was on my way”
Once again, that wonderful, fascinating time of year is here. Last year, I drew up a list of 12 songs for fall that metalheads could check out to enjoy the atmosphere of the season. But, as I could tell by your enthusiastic comments, I made a number of omissions that I’d like to correct here.
What makes a song great for Autumn? It’s a slippery subject to consider, but I’d say it would have to be something that captures the same level of grandeur and almost Tolkien-esque curiosity of the season. The sound has to have a certain power and darkness to it, but not in a grim, wintery sense. This is why I wouldn’t include orthodox 2nd-wave black metal on this list.
Anyway, here are 8 more songs for your enjoyment. I don’t really know why I did 12 to begin with, but I figured giving you a nice round number of 20 would suit things rather nicely.
Want to listen to all these songs while you read, or on your walk through the woods? Check out our handy Spotify playlist! Now updated with new songs (those available on the service of course), including some non-metal selections as well!
