October Falls - Logo

Originally a solo project of M. Lehto.

The band's early released music was mostly acoustic and ambient, with themes of nature. They changed their style to atmospheric black metal on The Streams of the End, and according to Lehto's interviews, the very first promo in 2001 was mostly metal, heavily influenced by Opeth and Katatonia. The promo was distributed in very limited numbers.

The band uses two different kinds of logos on their releases:
- a square one for their 'folk-influenced' and
- an orbital one for their 'metal-influenced' music.

There is a site on MySpace named October Falls. This site is not to be confused with this band as it denies the use of this platform.

An additional promo/demo release named "Kaste" (2001) was recorded and used for promotion purposes. It has a printing on the disc and exists in a number of about twenty.

Appears on the following compilations featuring exclusive non-album tracks:
2006 - "December Songs: A Tribute to Katatonia" covering "For Funerals to Come" (03:11)
2010 - "Der Wanderer Uber Dem Nebelmeer" with the song "Usva" (03:02)
2010 - "Whom the Moon a Nightsong Sings" with the song "Viima" (03:51)
2018 - "Servants Of Chaos II" with the song "Without Credence" (06:28)
