The Italian folk/darkwave band All My Faith Lost... started making their music at the beginning of the millenium. A decade ago they released their last album called... Decade, and it made the fans talking about bad omens. Fortunately, the artists came back this year with an LP called Untitled, and it's a comeback worth waiting for.
Their music is based on Viola Roccagli's oldschool, very genre-relatable female vocals that makes you think of the classics like Dead Can Dance, but also about all the atmosphere they bring. They're non-invasive but very clear, not loud but poignant. And quite beautiful. They echo over a slowcore take on dark folk music based on acoustic instruments, mostly guitars that carry this music on. This is a rather unusual way to create darkwave music (as far as I know) but there's hardly a better genre for this release to be classified in. You can safely add acoustic, folk or art in front of it and the definition is complete.
What makes the album even more artsy is that the tracks here are inspired by paintings by such surreal artist as Ruas, Tara McPherson, Nicoletta Ceccoli and Ray Caesar. The most striking song here is, and it's an easy choice, We All Die Sometimes. The combination of unreal melody, slow pace and unnerving theme that is being performed with soul-stirring violins and peacefully mournful guitar makes it a long-lasting, darkwave hit. (Also, what a beautiful cover art!).
