Foothills
Higher than 38% of albums we've rated

The album blends folk and metal effectively but lacks strong cohesion in its pacing and structure.

What we noticed

  • Several tracks incorporate call-and-response vocals, enhancing the communal and festive feel typical of folk music.
  • The tempo varies significantly across the tracks, with some songs maintaining a fast-paced humppa rhythm while others slow down for storytelling moments.
  • The final track serves as a high-energy closer, contrasting with the more narrative-driven pieces earlier in the album.
