On their 1998 debut album, Evanescent, Everfading, Fall of the Leafe displayed the distinctive qualities of Finnish heavy metal: a bevy of Scandinavian expiry and designate metal tricks spliced with tribe music and laden with grandiose vocal titles. Formed in the town of Turku iI old age earlier by singer Jani Lindström, guitarists Jussi Hänninen and Kaj Gustafsson, bassist Juha Kouhi, and drummer Marko Hyytiä, the chemical group had issued a identification number of demos leading up to their first base contract with bantam independent label Defiled, just they were clear noneffervescent probing for a comfortable direction to pursue. Enter new vocaliser Tuomas Tuominen and keyboardist Petri Hannuniemi, world Health Organization helped flesh out the band's sound with mediaeval overtones for the sophomore Lordly Wernicke in 2000. Recorded with returning guitar player Gustafsson (he'd been temporarily replaced by Mika Rostedt on the said L.P), 2002's Fermina showed even more improvement while bringing Fall of the Leafe closer to the more conventional, if still somewhat skew, style of hard stone made popular by Finnish headliners Amorphis. This direction was farther explored by 2004's Volvere (introducing unexampled drummer Matias Aaltonen), which was Fall of the Leafe's first recording for English independent Rage of Achilles Records.
