Sagenwelten The album takes you to places that are only known from fairy tales. Places with dark secrets that shine again through their beauty. This concept album is about legends and stories from the old Danube regions around Vienna, set to music in an atmospheric black metal style. Fallaness wasn't really planned - when I got stuck on the new Winters Breath album, I started playing around with other guitar sounds and sound libraries. That's how "Die Hexe" came about and from there one thing developed into another. The CD-Digifile was created in corporation with RUNNING WILD PRODUCTIONS (RWP) Catalog Id: RWP-028-CD.DF

With FALLANESS, the Linz-based label Running Wild Productions has brought forth another gem from our underground that definitely has the potential to make a name for itself internationally. Whether the project will ever reach the clubs and stages of Austria is unfortunately completely unclear and rather unlikely, but more albums of this caliber are definitely welcome. Link to review

Burkhard Lettner, already known from Winter's Breath, presents a really strong debut with Fallaness and the album “Sagenwelten”. The setting of eerie legends from the Vienna region in the form of melodic, atmospheric black metal: “Every year at the same time the devil lingers in front of the oak...” Link to review

Blasted By Britton (9/10)

“Sagenwelten” impressed me with both its power and its ethereal beauty. I need to get their back catalog, and I really hope Fallaness graces us with another album before too long. Link to review

AMMO (8/10)

Echoing screams, thundering rhythms, sounds like wafts of fog and menacing keyboards are the pillars of this doomy monolith, which takes all listeners on a depressing and arduous journey through dark valleys. Link to review

Metal Revolution (7.7/10)

The sound of Fallaness as presented on Sagenwelten is a decent piece of atmospheric black metal where the composer’s main focus is on creating dark and gloomy atmosphere, “dreamy” or ethereal textures, lenthy songs, and with a lyrical content about nature, local legends and tales. Sagenwelten is an atmospherically dense, well- structured and coherent concept album, that takes the listener on a depressing and arduous journey that is both monolithic, but also stunningly beautiful.

antichrist mag. (8.5/10)

With barely a moment of slack, a competent use of dramatic breaks, illustrious tremolo-picking among heavy, crawling doom riffs and perfectly placed haunting synths to boot, Fallaness‘ debut is simply not just the extension of an existing project, it’s a fresh and more cohesive beast than previous works by Burkhard, hence fully deserving of this new moniker and being an entity of its own. There will be more, I suppose? Link to review
